The University kept a lid on this because of what it would do to their reputation and future recruitment efforts not because of any lack of knowledge about rape.<br /><br />The "boys" posing as men in the fraternity were not insensitive due to the lack of knowledge but more than likely had not been raised to respect women in general. That was a job of their fathers and their churches and their communities all of which failed miserably. <br /><br />In a world where no one wants to take personal responsibility for anything, not even their own desire for self-gratification, we can expect this kind of behavior to be almost normal.<br /><br />We will never be an open and accountable society as long as we keep replacing morality with lawyers, honesty with public relations, and honor with "can we get away with it".<br /><br />This behavior is seen everywhere in this society where virtually everywhere we see institutions, organizations and businesses out to screw anyone and everyone.<br /><br />The behavior and the attitudes that allow it are endemic to society. Bandaids such as the closure of fraternities and workshops on sensitivity doesn't really deal with the real issues. God help us if we don't wake up to this reality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
