1 in 5 women get raped?

Buckley's view of the period is that Bowie, "a taboo-breaker and a dabbler ... mined sexual intrigue for its ability to shock",[177] and that "it is probably true that Bowie was never gay, nor even consistently actively bisexual ... he did, from time to time, experiment, even if only out of a sense of curiosity and a genuine allegiance with the 'transgressional.' "[178] Biographer Christopher Sandford says that according to Mary Finnigan, with whom Bowie had an affair in 1969, the singer and his first wife Angie "lived in a fantasy world ... and they created their bisexual fantasy."[179] Sandford tells how, during the marriage, Bowie "made a positive fetish of repeating the quip that he and his wife had met while '******* the same bloke' ... Gay sex was always an anecdotal and laughing matter. That Bowie's actual tastes swung the other way is clear from even a partial tally of his affairs with women."[179]

As I said in an address earlier this month, in any crisis it can be far too easy to paint with a broad brush, and to blindly attack entire groups of individuals. This is not a responsible reaction. Our fraternities were terribly distressed by the allegations in the article, and they are working with us toward solutions."

Some of the other changes, she said, include increased police presence, a group of unarmed security personnel called "Ambassadors" and a new proposed policy on sexual misconduct that takes into account new federal mandates.

Oh, look! Here comes BillRM! Smile Let's hear what he's got to say: This figure is a gross exaggeration!

There never were any prosecutions for this horrible war crime.

My point was to try to bring the subject back at hand or at least have some decent conversation about the said subject.

Imagine if we called your penis, chocolate lolly pop.

Actually he said it to two people and I found it an amusing yet degrading terminology hence my comment.

do note that for the most part, most people have "balls" here and can take words with a pinch of salt.

Still think that I'd feel safe in a room with David Bowie

He thinks alleged "feminists" control all university and government

He's told us it's much worse to be accused of rape than it is to be actually raped,

"feminazis"

Unfortunately, we really have no dyed in the wool feminists for him to contend with here

he just called 2 female posters "sugar tits".

Do they ever say anything of real interest, or anything that's not simply a repetition of things they keep saying over and over and over,

firefly, I've absolutely destroyed your "logic" and "reasoning" so many times

it's beneath me to even read, let alone respond to your posts.

the rape of a woman to be a more serious crime than even the murder of a man.

You're an ideologue firefly. The fact that you believe the rape of a woman to be a more serious crime than even the murder of a man is a testament to that.

A man gets murdered. It could have taken a while, or been instant but it's over as life is known.

A woman gets raped. It may have taken a while, or been instant but she lives and in that, for the rest of her life, she remembers and if she can't cope with the memory, for the rest of her life she suffers and those around her, her life as she knows it is over, yet it continues.

For once, there's actually some good news to report. While it would have been plenty easy for leaders at UVA to use questions about Jackie's story as an excuse to punt responsibility, the New York Times reports that instead they're staying the course, saying they will not waver from grappling with how to deal with campus rape generally and sexual assault within the Greek system in particular. University President Teresa A. Sullivan is not backing down from the temporary suspension of fraternities on campus, despite some calls for her to do so. And the president of the university’s Inter-Fraternity Council, Tommy Reid, is supporting her in this decision.

These groups should take note of how on-campus fraternity leadership is responding. Instead of using the Rolling Stone fiasco as a chance to evade responsibility, Intra-Fraternity leader Tommy Reid is showing real spine. "The temporary suspension has provided the fraternity community with time to step back and think critically about its role in the elimination of rape at UVA, and allowed us to sort of review our priorities as students first and fraternity members second," Reid told the New York Times. "It’s allowed us to take a breath."

In a joint statement, the Fraternity and Sorority Political Action Committee, the National Panhellenic Conference and the North American Intrafraternity Conference all called on the university to allow fraternities and sororities at the university to resume activities. All activities were suspended through early next month following the Rolling Stone story.

"We believe universities must demonstrate more respect for the fundamental rights to due process and freedom of association for students and student organizations when allegations of misconduct are lodged," the statement read.

The scene with her friends was pivotal in the article, as it alleged that the friends were callously apathetic about a beaten, bloodied, injured classmate reporting a brutal gang rape at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. The account alleged that the students worried about the effect it might have on their social status, how it might reflect on Jackie during the rest of her collegiate career, and how they suggested not reporting it. It set up the article’s theme: That U-Va. has a culture that is indifferent to rape.

“It didn’t happen that way at all,” Andy said.

Instead, the friends remember being shocked. Though they did not notice any blood or visible injuries, they said they immediately urged Jackie to speak to police and insisted that they find her help. Instead, they said, Jackie declined and asked to be taken back to her dorm room. They went with her — two of them said they spent the night — seeking to comfort Jackie in what appeared to be a moment of extreme turmoil.]

“I mean obviously we were very concerned for her,” Andy said. “We tried to be as supportive as we could be.”

The three students agreed to be interviewed on the condition that The Post use the same aliases as appeared in Rolling Stone because of the sensitivity of the subject.

They said there are mounting inconsistencies with the original narrative in the magazine. The students also expressed suspicions about Jackie’s allegations from that night. They said the name she provided as that of her date did not match anyone at the university, and U-Va. officials confirmed to The Post that no one by that name has attended the school

And photographs that were texted to one of the friends showing her date that night actually were pictures depicting one of Jackie’s high school classmates in Northern Virginia. That man, now a junior at a university in another state, confirmed that the photographs are of him and said he barely knew Jackie and hasn’t been to Charlottesville for at least six years.

The friends said they never were contacted or interviewed by the pop culture magazine’s reporters or editors. Though vilified in the article as coldly indifferent to Jackie’s ordeal, the students said they cared deeply about their friend’s well-being and safety. Randall said that they made every effort to help Jackie that night.

“She had very clearly just experienced a horrific trauma,” Randall said. “I had never seen anybody acting like she was on that night before and I really hope I never have to again. ... If she was acting on the night of Sept. 28, 2012, then she deserves an Oscar.”.
