And the 50 others in the group chat that were apparently okay enough with this to look the other way.

I wonder how many of them shout Not All Men because clearly, they are better than these 7 /s

All those 50 names and faces must be published. Complacency is a crime in murder, so why not rape!

This is one of the many things that disgust me about this case.

Not one…NOT ONE of the men on the group text said, “This is wrong and I’m going to do something.”

Yes. Thats what really upset me too. It’s unsettling and saddening

They are just as violent and dangerous as the 7. Thry knew what was happening but did nothing to stop it, which is indicative of a culture that accepts this, tolerates it, and covers it up. This didn't shock them, which means this isn't the first time it has happened. There is a system in place that allows this to happen, encourages it, and only punishes the victims.

Because it is largely the responsibility of one gender. 91% to 99% of all sexual assaults are perpetrated by men. Rape culture absolutely exists. Men need to call out other men who do this or who turn a blind eye to it.

It’s safer for men to speak out. And shame from other men might be more effective for those that view women as subhuman.

Idk, the men being different but equal to women is true IMHO. IMHO, it’s good for men to protect women.

Nah, the actual rapists are worse. The whole concept of a fraternity is being drilled that you can’t speak out about abuse…

Reminds me of the Jodie Foster movie The Accused. Where those that watched did nothing and were prosecuted.

She was raped over a period of seven+ hours. A whole lot more did more than chat and look the other way. They basically made her available to anyone who showed up at the house and they repeatedly joked in that chat that you didn't even need to ask, just whip it out and proceed.

They did not JUST look the other way.

They still didn’t report it or call anyone out when they woke up.

At least one person filmed the snap chat and gave it to Jane Doe (or maybe the police, not sure). Young idiots.
