Internet lawyers, rape and racism, oh noes.
Relatively small, but this wank has it all. Internet law? Check. Rape? Check. Sexism? Check. Blaming the victim? Check. Racism? Check, check and check again.

[info]ebonbird posts a metaquote bashing David Yeagley for his article blaming the black victim of an alleged rape by white Lacrosse players at Duke University, and for a while, there is much word and outrage at Yeagley to be had.

But then [info]madscience shows up to assert that nobody was raped and that the all this discussion of the case is actually character assasination against the accusers.

Naturally, wank happens. Comments are now frozen, so it (probably) won't grow, but I still think there's enough wank for it to go here.

ETA: I know what words I'm looking for! Really, I do!

I don't know if that comment makes me want to laugh, cry, or kill. Probably a combo of both.

re the article: The words, they fail me.

But, exotic dancing—and then to cry “abuse”? This may be pushing victimhood beyond reason.

Yes, because exotic dancing girl=everyone is automatically allowed to have sex with her either if she protests or not. Totally.

I have a hard time reading that essay and this wank without throwing something through a window. Character assassination against a rape victim is just SO FAR beyond morally reprehensible that I don't even know what else to say.

Somehow, the usual "fuck you, you racist bastard" doesn't quite do it.

I like how he thinks that hospitals can't prove rape because people can have rough consensual sex. Somehow? I think a hospital with qualified, experienced doctors and nurses can tell whether damage upon a person is inflicted by a considerate consensual BDSM partner or a rapist. They're two different things, both physically and psychologically. Just because he's supposedly had rough sex with woman does not mean that he is now an expert the subtleties of the medical profession or the human body.

*zips mouth shut* I'm not going to say anything in regards to that article because if I do, I know I'm going to blow a gasket. I'm just going to say that the article so drips with misogyny and white entitlement that I want to strangle the author.

Except that I'm pretty sure hiring strippers for a team party and the underage drinking would have gotten them into trouble whether anyone got raped or not. Seems to me the expulsions were inevitable.

From this comment:

... the only student who has actually been suspended and removed from campus by the university is the one from whose email account and from whose computer (which the university can easily verify) the email describing the killing and skinning of strippers was graphically described, along with the sexual gratification he would receive by doing this.

Guhhhh. *shudder*

This is the same email that the defendant's own lawyer is not denying that he wrote, and is offering that email as proof of innocence.

WTF?!?!

As far as you or I or the university is concerned, nobody was raped until somebody is convicted. That's the point.

Since everyone else has covered the obvious wtf'ery and some of the other things that peeved me in both the original article and the genious madscience's comments, I'll settle for tiny mini gripe about this:

The thing I love about philosophy is how one can make a case for anything. I once had a friend in undergrad logically prove the moon was made of green cheese.

ms ntropy, logical proofs tend to be based on if-then inferences and postulates, and I'm not saying that your friend didn't know what he or she was talking about...but given your other comments, I'm inclined to think you're belittling a branch of mathematics you know nothing about.

From Yeagley's article:
