As Michelle pointed out, this Marin Trujillo person acted as if he had no concept of how horrific the violation of this girl was. I wonder if his downplaying of the rape is reflective of a more general rape culture on steroids in that community. This goes beyond simple peer pressure, and I expect it wasn’t an isolated incident.

This was a truely horrible story and this is just a truely horrible addition to it. It is clear this educator has no idea what a horrible, life altering crime rape is. I wonder how he would feel if it was his daughter or wife……maybe then he wouldn’t have found the event to “successful”.

wow. I don’t know who is more disgusting, the person with the quote or the reporter who included it in their story.

Well I would hate to see what an unsuccessful dance would have been like.

Well, I’m sure the GANG RAPE was a successful one too, from the point of view of the people who did it …

By abandoning two women — not just one, but two — while they were slandered, degraded, and humiliated almost exclusively on the basis of their vaginas for the past year, women everywhere have given tacit approval to this.

I wonder when the majority of them will clue in. My bet is “never.” If they haven’t for the past million years, they ain’t gonna wake up now.
