Reaction to Rolling Stone Article
I thought the article was really well written, and remained relatively objective and just allowed the evidence to do the talking, which I appreciated. It gave a very important insight into the very complicated and heartbreaking system that takes place within universities while dealing with rape, and the writer very clearly portrayed how often this system works more in favor of the rapist rather than the victim. They also vividly gave the reader an idea of the intense emotional turmoil that victims go through, especially when dealing with the grueling process of reporting the assaults. The article also exposed the intense rape culture that is prevalent within so many universities, especially within fraternities. Though it was often very upsetting to read the disgusting things that so many fraternity brothers chant about women, it was extremely important that the author depicted how so many men degrade women so intensely, and that it's not just isolated incidents, it's an entire culture that is promoting this attitude toward women.
