Alleged Rape Raises Questions about Bystanders
October 28, 2009
My heart hurts so bad, not just for the poor child, whose entire life will never be the same, but also for the numerous young men who had so much hatred/fear/misogyny in their hearts to stand idly by and participate in this horrific violence. Seriously disgusting and devastating - and not an isolated incident. This points to the sickness of our entire society - around views of women & girls, masculinity norms (men enforce "rules" that facilitate this type of crime), violence, and our responsibility to help someone in need.
