Seriously, if you're sensitive to anything related to SA or you just don't feel like boiling your blood into pudding today, don't follow this.

The US 'justice' system is the single worst-named entity on the planet. It's related to seeking justice about as much as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea cares about its people.

This case is such horrific proof that rape culture is still incredibly prevalent in this country. It sickens me and I’m so fucking sad.

Definitely try to avoid if it’s triggering. It’s not like there’s anything revolutionary in the details, it’s a case we’ve all heard many times over. It’s enough to stand in solidarity with this Jane Doe and all the Jane Does.

    What was so shattering to me was the bit that "meh, she drank voluntarily so the rape is fine". That's in the lawbooks.

    I decided in 1999 that I would never set foot on American soil again. I heard the jackboots around the corner back then and got spooked.

    This? Makes me wish I hadn't made that decision 27 years ago. So I could make it today.
