Replying to Rape.

I just heard a story today that made my stomach sink.

I know it's always happening, everywhere; guys find girls that are wasted out of their mind and sleep with them. It's disgusting and morally wrong, and the people who do it should be shot, but it really strikes home when it happens (or nearly happens) to someone you know.

I was eating lunch with a friend between classes today when a bunch of the trades students came into the building and started talking about parties. One of them mentioned that one of his friends was threatening a younger guy and calling him a rapist.

Turns out this guy, who I actually hung out with as a kid, is the type of guy who finds the drunk girls, takes them into a room, and has his way with them. I mean, that's like shooting fish in a bucket with a shotgun. Anyway, he seemed like the type of guy. You know, the 'super trendy' guy, drives his Civic with fart-can on the back, cashes out from his parents' piggy bank, all the trendy clothes, etc. etc.

It was already pretty ridiculous hearing about the shit this guy does, and it was all just explaining why the rapist is going to get his ass kicked.

In the story, he mentioned of the girls who was lucky enough to have the guy telling the story stop two guys (the rapist and his buddy) from taking her into a room at a party. The girl is a girl I know, not all that well, but she's a friend of a friend of mine and I talk to her every now and then and I know that, had she not been wasted, she would never, ever, sleep with the rapist guy. It made me sick to think that she could have been subjected to something like that.

Moral of the story; if you do this, please kill yourself now, and if you see people trying to do this, cockblock as much as you can. You'll be able to identify them as the guys who've had two beers and then sit beside the girl who's had 8.

Fuck rapists.
