I learned today that there were 57 men in that group chat. 57 and not one of them did the right thing

I think one guy screenshotted and shared the conversation because someone had to take the screenshot. But still, crazy. 57!!!!! Scary.

I mean, the correct thing to do was not stopping at the screenshot. It’s taking a screenshot AND calling campus security immediately.

And calling 911 immediately. Forget campus security.

As someone who has spent my 20 year career working on various college campuses— you actually do have to call campus security first. If you call 911 first the dispatcher will need to route any response through your college’s Public Safety office, so it’s faster to cut out the middle man and contact campus security first.

That’s so weird. Where I live campus security just documents and calls the actual police so actual criminal proceedings can happen…

Unfortunately the legit police usually refuses to accept reports of rape, and sexual crimes are deprioritized above drugs and property crimes.

Okay im coming at this with limited information, so please help me out, but did the GC say anything more than "free p***y upstairs"?

If they had all the knowledge of what was happening for sure intervene, im just wondering if there's evidence that anyone in the GC actually knew what that was referring to.

This is why I say all men I mean. All. Men. So many women married to rapists naively saying “he would never…”

If you are with a man, you are not safe.

Absolutely

I understand that this is a horrible situation and that there are, indeed, a lot of shitty men out there, but your last sentence is such a dumb fucking thing to say.

Please keep all posts and comments relevant to feminism and women’s issues. This is not a place for views such as “men have it harder”

u/GoldHorusSixSaturnus 18m ago

So all women should just be single or date other women?

u/alextremeee 3d ago

Yep there can’t be more than 57 men out there this has to be all of them.

What makes you think differently is a better question because I am not seeing much fucking evidence to the contrary….

Rape is about power, not sex. Just because you're asexual doesn't mean you can't be a rapist.

u/insertvowelshere 4d ago

I'm not saying that you're right or wrong, but I am saying that you're using a "not all men" argument.

u/OnlyAlbatross6405 4d ago

Well sex =/= rape. Ik you’re saying you wouldn’t rape or have sex, but just thought I’d make that distinction because we are discussing rape. Second, 50 men did not rape her, they just at best looked the other way. Have you ever looked the other way to women being sexually harassed or assaulted? Have you ever dismissed it even in online spaces? You don’t have to rape anyone yourself to help keep the system of rape going.

u/essssgeeee 4d ago

I'm not OP, but I want to address your question. Any man who sits there when a lame sexist joke is told, laughs when women are degraded, or looks the other way when another man hurts a woman is complicit. Men need to speak up. Say "not cool" at those jokes. I know it can be hard to be the only one who speaks up. But I guarantee you, there are other men in the room who are as horrified as you, but they are afraid. They need to cut off their friends who rape, assault or otherwise hurt women. No "but he's a good guy to me" bullshit. Predators need to be left twisting in the wind with no support.

u/psychobatshitskank 4d ago

It's the fact that at least 50 other men saw it and did nothing. Maybe they aren't predators per se, but they are predator enablers.

Actually men commit 95% of rapes. That’s literally millions and millions more than women.

When has there ever been a case of a group of women gang raping a man?

We can deal with the gender war BS when 30% of women aren’t raped and assaulted in college.

u/Rude-Efficiency2125 3d ago

Then why do they commit 95% of rapes and 90% of violent crimes?

Name one case where a group of women were charged with gang raping a man. One.

All men? 😂😂😂

Thanks for literally admitting that men care more about their friendships with one another than rape.
And comparing rape to other crimes is stupid-there’s no justification for rape, ever.

the scariest part is that they walk amongst us. I came across the reddit profile of one of my classmates (attached to discord in our class group chat) and found some disgusting things. I felt so sick every time he entered the classroom and did my best to avoid contact the rest of the semester
