"Won't someone think of the rapists? They just didn't realize what they were doing was wrong 🥺 🥺 🥺" - Mithu Sanyal

Fuck this shitty bad-faith study and fuck her judgmental treatment of rape victims who cannot just 'get up and go on' and fuck her implication that rape victims think it's 'popular' to be a rape victim.
She's implying Emma Sulkowicz was lying because the uni investigation cleared her rapist: "This is not to say Sulkowicz's allegations were wrongful. Who am I to judge? I wasn't there" (103) Fuck you, Sanyal.

"American universities have gone further in their efforts to eradicate rape culture than institutions anywhere else." (102) Ok, but.....have they? What about frat culture (brings a lot of money), as well as the rampant mishandling of Title IX complaints?!"

Sanyal is interestingly neglecting to note that Polanski raped other women besides Samantha Geimer. Seems negligent for a case study about Polanski regarding rape…

I never thought I’d see the day where a so-called rape advocate and theorist would compare modern rape victims suffering from PTSD to Victorians, for whom it was “popular to be sick” (64).

When you’re trying to be so progressive that you accidentally do a 180 and ironically become conservative again…

Now she's over-representing false rape charges, which lurks around 2-4% by the way, which makes me wonder what the hell she's trying to do here with this essay?

Wow…this author has breathtakingly misunderstood and misrepresented the Big Dan’s rape case in 1983. The public was NOT on the side of the victim at all and Sanyal blatantly ignores very key aspects of the trial and its reception.

This study is so good but it’s also pissing me off

It's only been 7 years since this long-form essay was published, but the conversation has already evolved so much since then. I wonder what Sanyal thinks of the Cornell rapists...
