Well, there goes my good mood for the day.

NYTimes, the bastion of quality reporting, reported on the gang-rape of an 11 year-old girl in Texas  that's led to charges against 18 high-school boys so far - all well and good so far, right?  Shit like this NEEDS publicity to raise awareness.

Only problem is, they

That's disgusting, no woman (or girl) is ever fucking asking for it!@#^

I'm disgusted that they are even repeating this crap!

Let's just not worry about the ELEVEN YEARS OLD GIRL shall we.

Thank you for posting this. There aren't enough words to say how disgusted and enraged this makes me.

I wish he'd stop using the word 'boy'. They were men, who knew damn well what they were doing and they are not the victims here.

And that woman who asked why the girl's mother didn't keep an eye on her? She should've been asking why the men's mothers didn't eff-ing teach them that rape is wrong.

Re: your second statement: I'd rather not put the blame on any woman for rape men did.

Shit, I did not think about how that comment sounded. Sorry. :( I think I should have said 'parents' instead. Or you know, NOT made that statement at all.

No, it's fine: it's a reaction to this very ugly situation, don't worry. But yeah.

Aaaaaargh. Aaaaargh.

I'll send NY Times an e-mail, I think. What they allowed in that article makes me feel sick.
