That's brutal. It's hard to believe there are people (especially groups) out there with that mindset.We had lots of house parties and we always did our best to protect our guests and look out for things like this. Once when I was president I had to kick out this one kid who was feeling up random girls. When I approached him, he got scared and tried to run through the tarp we used as a fence out back. I had him by the throat for a little while but eventually he broke through and left. The crazy thing is, he was there with a group of friends including his girl friend. They took him home and came back to the party.[Edited on November 25, 2014 at 1:19 PM. Reason : .]

Yes this is a topic you should troll about. I hope you have a daughter and she goes to UVA.

if she didn't want to be raped, she shouldn't have been born

This is one of the main reasons I was terrified at the thought of having a little girl. I'm glad I won't have to worry about this (1 boy and another on the way).Oh and her "Three best friends" are definitely not the "Three best friends that anyone can have"[Edited on November 25, 2014 at 2:13 PM.

I have a little girl Can you home school college?
11/25/2014 2:26:04 PM
Her "best friends" I have a friend that went to UNC and was almost raped, I didn't hear about it until years later but I was ready to kick some ass then. I can only imagine if a friend calls me in the middle of the night and is in that condition when I show up. There'd be hell to pay.
11/25/2014 3:24:06 PM
If one of my lady friends told me she was raped, it would come time to do some ass whipping, especially in college.
11/25/2014 3:26:00 PM
wtf. Those dudes should be stomped, and those girls need to start going to the police. WTF
11/25/2014 4:02:12 PM
What kind of "friend" encourages someone to keep quiet for the sake of the university? I mean, I'm as die-hard a State fan as anyone else, but why keep this quiet? This attitude of "rape and conceal" is a much bigger blemish on the university than having an instance of rape that was immediately and severely punished.
11/25/2014 4:36:10 PM
I have a daughter and this makes me sick. I would murder someone and that is a quote.

report it, say "fuck that bullshit school", then transfer to NCSU.

I can't believe so many of her friends would treat her like that. Literally I have a hard time believing it. Maybe I just don't have shitty people in my life though.
11/25/2014 6:04:06 PM

A school should never be involved in a criminal investigation. The school has too much to lose and will rightfully do everything they can to bury it.
11/26/2014 7:49:28 AM
Is there anything preventing these victims from filing a complaint with the local police?
11/26/2014 11:15:01 AM
No, they aren't prevented from going to the police. But Title IX requires universities to have a plan in place to navigate reports of sexual violence. http://knowyourix.org/why-schools-handle-sexual-violence-reports/

^ So waitwhat you're saying is this chick: (pictured who was apparently at this protest)Had a dildo waved around near her? And that made her upset?
11/28/2014 4:53:53 PM
Seems pretty normal to me. I've never met a hot feminist.
11/28/2014 6:35:19 PM
I remember thinking this whole story sounded like fabricated bullshit when I read the article, but now info is coming out about how little fact checking the author did.I suspect in the coming months there will be an admission that "Jackie" is an amalgam or that the story was embellished significantly for impact.
12/1/2014 3:50:57 PM
I'm pretty sure the 7 way gangbang rape, with the money shot beer bottle is legit. Jackie hasn't come forward to say no it didn't happen. And the school is on serious damage control.
12/1/2014 3:54:47 PM
Making outrageous allegations doesn't make it true.Remember the duke lacrosse case?This girl may exist, she may have gone to an administrator to make claims.And of course UVa is in full damage control mode, they've just been accused of having a decades old policy of ignoring gang rape. Even if there's no basis in fact I'm sure it's damaged the school's reputation.Parts of the article are so fantastic that they deserve some serious scrutiny and corroboration before being considered worthy of investigation let alone being assumed to be true.They're allegations, not facts, just keep that in mind.
12/1/2014 4:04:41 PM
This penis party's got to go HEY HEY HO HO
12/1/2014 4:07:01 PM
This whole thing reminds me of the satanic cult day care scare of the 1980s. Wild stories being taken at face value with no evidence to back it up.It feels like the author found a lifetime movie script and convince rolling stone to publish it since there's so much debate about campus sexual assault, new consent laws in california, etc. and rolling stone really needed to publish something about it.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day-care_sex-abuse_hysteria[Edited on December 1, 2014 at 4:33 PM.

^ I completely agreethe story seems like complete bullshitI am so tired of Baby Boomers reading some shit coming out in Rolling Stone and acting like it's "the voice of a generation" and immediate action should be taken because Rolling Stone really fucking matters(the punchline to this post is that Rolling Stone is a complete piece of shit magazine that nobody reads and the Baby Boomers' collective consciousness of periodic knee-jerk reactions is the only thing keeping it afloat)

I don't have a subscription, but I read RS on a somewhat regular basis. Matt Taibbi was by far one of my favorite journalists during the post-2008 financial meltdown.Is it really any surprise that the Users accusing rape victims of false allegations, are the same people that don't know anyone that reads long-form journalism???
12/1/2014 6:15:08 PM

12/1/2014 6:21:01 PM
12/1/2014 6:51:42 PM
Calling RS journalism is an insult to actual journalism like the economist, which I do read. I have little to nothing to say about "Jackie" but the lack of concrete evidence or other side to any portion of this story makes it suspect.
12/1/2014 7:15:32 PM
so you've never read Matt Taibbi?you do realize that it is possible for publications, no matter how ridiculous you find them, to hire excellent writers/journalists, right?[Edited on December 1, 2014 at 7:37 PM. Reason : Esquire, Playboy, GQ, etc...]

ive read two of his books and they were complete shit-of course you wont agree with me, but a couple of points:1) hes not funny or clever;2) regardless of how smart you are (and he is very smart) using certain language in a professional setting makes you a buffoon. the only folks at that point who take you serious... well, i guess they read rolling stone.tl;drhes a cunt, and its honestly a crying shame.
