While I believe that these boys were probably by and large the sort I would not associate with if you paid me, the fact that I'm a lawyer's daughter has stuck with me enough that I was horrified by that. Particularly because that wonderful news source Time magazine didn't even follow up on that comment, they were trying to use it to prove how awful Duke students were and how we really shouldn't feel sorry for this team. For whatever racial tensions their might be in Durham, and for whatever any of these individual boys has done in the past, you simply can't prosecute based on a <I>feeling</I> that they were bastards. Honestly, I hate this stuff, because the case of every girl who's legitimately gotten abused or violated in some way by anyone just got a little weaker. This is the sort of case people remember and work in to their outlook on life and perception of rape charges. It's what people will think of the next time they're asked to have "sympathy for the victim".bs kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02871717971078952304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-46078571044409118762007-03-25T19:24:00.000-04:002007-03-25T19:24:00.000-04:00Yes, I mentioned at Dr. Sanity's but didn't mentio...Yes, I mentioned at Dr. Sanity's but didn't mention here: lacrosse is most popular in the mid-Atlantic states, and the northeast next after that. It's not big in the south. Nor are all the players rich and white. The men's lacrosse team is male, of course, but when the women's lacrosse team showed solidarity with them they came under attack as well. Not the <I>right kind</I> of women, I guess. They don't get the narrative right, so they must be faulty women in some way.Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-8645384320672009402007-03-25T19:15:00.000-04:002007-03-25T19:15:00.000-04:00This Come into my Conversation, said the spider to...This <I>Come into my Conversation, said the spider to the fly</I> description is excellent. A similar discourse has been prominent throughout the Episcopal Unpleasantness. The follow-up strategy is either the one you describe, or "We don't feel <I>heard</I>, and you are oppressing us!"
