I like to think we here at /lit/ are up to date on current affairs, so I'm sure most of you are aware of the Steubenville rape trial.

I'm wondering if there are any books on the history/psychology/ public perception of date rape that include arguments from all points on the spectrum. Everything from "castrate those bastards" to "don't drink so much, slut."

Also, what does /lit/ think about the guilty verdict? I could ask /pol/ but I think we all know what they'd say.

First of all, do not drink yourself silly among strangers.

Second, watch the full interview of Ted Bundy 12 hours before being executed.

Third, read Freud.

I didn't care either way. Personally, I don't get why this thing was such a big deal. You have teens with raging hormones boozing it up. It doesn't take a genius to see that shit was going to go down.

As for the rape, I'm on the fence about this. After all, what was an underage girl doing at a party getting drunk? Where were the parents?

>I could ask /pol/ but I think we all know what they'd say.

>"don't drink so much, slut."
this pretty much

>> No.3574712

Don't know it too well, heard a few rumblings but not American so..

But generally I fall towards support of the rape victim. I see this analogy all the time where if you left your home unlocked, windows open and so forth then you're of course going to get burgled or robbed if you walk around with tons of expensive things on show in a dodgy area. However, even though the person could do a lot to prevent it they are not to blame if they are the victim of those crimes. The blame is solely on the person who commits the crime as even if they had the perfect opportunity doesn't change the fact they made a decision to commit the crime.

However, I don't believe people who say an individual can do a lot to prevent being raped should be ignored. Like any other crime one person can do a number of things to lower the odds: make sure people know where you are, don't get too drunk with strangers etc. Of course, if it's patronising like don't dress like a slut or something similar then it is silly, but there are plenty of people offering sound, non-judgmental advice who are shouted down by people for somehow advocating rape.

Ultimately, the blame lies with the rapist. As stupidly as the other person behaves the rapist still committed the crime.

>> No.3574713

/pol/ is evenly divided on the subject and is currently flinging shit at each other.

To give you some perspective, I am a WN and have some VERY strong ideas about the difference between irresponsibility and rape. And even I think those arrogant cocksuckers deserve everything they got. The thing about anti-feminists is that they hate real rapists with passion more fiery than anything social justice warriors can conjure up.

Too much focus on how this has ruined the lives of the perps, not enough on how the other people who saw this happening and did nothing were also wrong.

We need a cultural shift on how women are perceived, this case just shows how poorly some men in western culture view women.

From what I've heard she was drugged. Also it wasn't the average case of a girl being to drunk, having sex, then complaining the next day that she was too drunk to make the decision. She was completely unconscious, stripped naked, handed around to multiple people who had sex with her, photographed naked, and I think even pissed on. And when she tried to report it she faced people within the system that encouraged her to drop it and tried to cover it up because they knew the kids who did it.

>> No.3574741

I think one shouldnt take everything so serious. Look there is literature about all this stuff, it happens and it happens again. It is not new, I think society makes it even worse than it actually is. I think society leads the victims to psychosis because they treat you like someone who was traumatized - and then you become traumatized.
In the end it is just a physical, violent act. Imagine everyone was just like "woah, fuck, shit happens buddy, whatever, just look forward"?

If we wouldnt make such a huge taboo in christian society about the private parts and intimacy and would stop looking at the victims like people who experienced the worst of the worst, like completely "disgraced", maybe it wouldnt be that bad in an emotional way for them anymore. It feels like some middle age heritage.

Just my point of view on rape cases. Generally I just watch the world. It is somehow entertaining yet I dont feel emotionally bound.

>> No.3574749

>>3574730

I understand that argument and believe that in many cases (probably including rape) it is true that some people given the ideal opportunity would commit a crime they otherwise would never have done. I still don't think that absolves them the responsibility for their actions - they still are to blame.

However, the only time I believe it works is in terms of entrapment used by the police. Purposefully setting up the situation where someone will commit the crime to arrest them isn't fair.

>> No.3574752

>>3574741
I want to add that the glorification of intimacy and the lack of openness leads to all this confusion. In a more open, educated society with less taboos (look sweden or sth) there is way more sex and does even create an incentive to rape.

i agree with a lot of this. if i got so drunk i fucked a really ugly chick who i thought had taken advantage of me, even stuck her fingers in my ass or some shit like that, I would be like "well, my drunk ass should probably not do that again in the future"

Yes but if you passed out drunk then later found out that multiple men passed you around and fucked you in the ass, took pictures of you naked, pissed on you, all thought it was really funny, and were later protected by their friends when you tried to report it you might feel differently.

>could it not be the same for horny males surrounded by drunk women?

This pretty much. And I'm not sympathetic to the perpetrators of this crime. But neither do I sympathize with the victim. What kind of parents did she have? How could they raise a person with such poor judgment?

Also, I fail to understand how she would be "ruined" by this act. As if she amounts to nothing more than her rape. At least there is some equality in the US—both victim and perpetrator will be equally instilled with a life-long sense of shame.

Doubt it.

Really though there's no real reason to punish rapists worse than any other type of violent criminal.

>> No.3574833

>>3574815

My issue is not that they are arrested for committing the crime: if they did it even as the result of entrapment then they should be charged for the crime.

The issue is using entrapment in the first place as it is bringing out a situation that otherwise wouldn't occur. I think there are moral issues with the police doing that. They are purposefully trying to provoke someone to commit the crime.

Rape victims aren't trying to cause someone to rape them. They may increase the chances of it happening to them through their behaviour but they aren't trying to get people to rape them. If there is someone out there trying to get people to rape them for whatever reason then yes they are at moral fault but I think that is a very tiny minority.

Rape is like torture. The victim cant do anything about it. Also this rather happens and is unexpected. Humans rather fear unexpected harm than expected death.

I dont think starvation is a problem. Lets say we had everything equalized until everyone had nothing, everyone was just barely eating enough to survive on rice. What would happen? We would still breed a bit too much. So people had to starve. This is how populations behave, look in your biology books. Why would I give a shit if this planet can handle some more millions if I gave up my steak? I rather have my steak than +2 millions on this planet without anything changing, still as much people starve, just my life quality is reduced.
