This. All of this.

It reminds me of the whole Roman Polanski petition fiasco (I can never remember that man's name for some reason, it's a good thing that "rapist director" in Google always gives me the right result) and the thing that will never not replay itself in my mind, "it's not rape-rape". Or the Julian Assange fiasco. Where people are perfectly willing to be upstanding about rape and rape culture and believing rape victims, until the perpetrator is one of their friends. Their upstandingness matters most when it's hard, dammit!

That post makes me sad and incredibly frustrated-- of all the things to fail on, this of all things. He said no. She didn't listen. That's what matters. (And jesus fuck, there's a goddamned witness on this and there's still this horrible foot-shuffling?)
