What the fuck kind of "news" story is this? It's an unfair and overblown societal stereotype that Ivy League white boys are violent rapists? Excuse me, but I don't see anyone locking their doors or clutching their purses when Whitey McWhite-white walks by. I don't see rapists in the media portrayed as powerful, educated white men, except when they're portrayed as falsely accused or helplessly seduced by a ravishing slut, and that's exactly the stereotype that this article is perpetuating, not least because the victims are poor, black single mothers. Hell, I don't even see people who do progressive work around criminal justice acknowledge how much violent and not just white-collar crime is in fact about exerting power and privilege, because then it would come to light that the people whose violent crimes are induced by a cycle of poverty and racism are in fact a miniscule subset of the frat boys and Lakireddys of sexual offenders that go underacknowledged and underpunished, and blanket apologist compassion in the face of such grotesque manifestations of entitlement is the most misdirected policy imaginable.
I find it disgusting that this jackass group of 40-some boys gathered in this little shack to invite a stripper in the first place, and that should already tell something about their sense of entitlement and the role of male peer support in the objectification of the women. And I don't give a fuck to accept that this is normal college boy behavior; fuck the normalization of male bonding over female degradation. This is Peggy Reeves Sanday's research on the gang rape mentality spelled out in eery precision. I think everybody should be required to read these two books before going to college:
Sexual Assault on the College Campus: The Role of Male Peer Support by Martin Schwartz and Walter DeKeseredy
Fraternity Gang Rape: Sex, Brotherhood, and Privilege on Campus by Peggy Reeves Sanday
