Justice for a rape survivor, 20 years later.
This article by Liz Seccuro is deeply disturbing. Unsurprisingly I suppose when rape is being discussed but it isn't just the terrifying nature of a rape itself that disturbs. Just as bad is the college administration's seemingly deliberate obstruction of justice. Why would they for instance lie to her about police jurisdiction? Did they not want bad publicity or was one of the rapist's parents a major donor. When a woman is brave enough to pursue justice and the strains that will put upon her and is still prevented from doing so I think we are forced to take a long hard look at our assumptions about this society being egalitarian.

Bitches, you want a raise? Clean your goddamn cunts!
Alternet covers this issue with the sarcasm it deserves but basically a full page ad in a woman's magazine claims the best way for a woman to get a raise is to make her special area extra special clean with their products.
