    I guess the money she got was worth more to her than justice.

    FSU could have drug the case out for a decade and they would have. She went through a helluva lot and I'm glad she got her pound of flesh even if she wasn't up to dragging this on in her life for years and years.

    It’s kind of passing the buck to me. You let a criminal continue if you don’t stop him.

    UGA sorry for buying Luda condoms and cognac

    Was digging into the details of "kirbys law" and this interesting tidbit came to light following. It's from 2016. Some universities and athletics have become cesspools. 65 k, a box of condoms and some bottles of alcohol for a few minutes in the name of a spring football game???

    When there's an extreme power balance, pragmatism kicks in and you inflict the most damage you're capable of. IMO.

    That's utterly ridiculous and basically giving an excuse to boys and blaming the girls.

    A girl's choice of outfit can never be used to justify someone raping or assaulting them. EVER!

    Omnipresent

    This is EXACTLY the problem. How a woman dresses often has ZERO to do with her sexuality and more to do with how she feels comfortable. Does she feel good about her body? Safe? Is it hot outside? Etc etc… the problem with patriarchy is that men always think it’s about them. That “women want my attention, cat calls, to be objectified” etc. when often it has NOTHING to do with them. Now, there are women who want attention- and get it from social media or in person with how they look… but even then it DOES NOT mean they want to be touched/harassed or worse.
    My wife has been hit on or put in uncomfortable situations countless times… 3 times over the last year by contractors at our house. Dude, we just want you to fix our toilet… it’s not the time to shoot your shot. Just the other day in Lowe’s… followed to 3 different aisles by an employee looking to be “helpful”. It’s pretty ridiculous that men think “see pretty lady/hit on them”. With zero regard to how she feels. Learn to read a room.
    And in the case of Georgia… it matters ZERO whether or not these women had been at a party/drinking/how they were dressed etc.

    No shit!

    Some people go out of their way to miss the point I was trying to make. I was not, as another poster accused me, "justifying" rape and assault by how women dress. Do you think I blame the victims of mass shooters for getting shot? I'm sorry if you don't know that there are some sick males out there, or if, as Jack Nicholson says in A Few Good Men, "you can't handle the truth." The streets of this country are infested with sickos. And campuses are not exempt. Neither are football teams. What do you think this thread is about?

    Yet you stated "but I can't help but think that the way students dress today may be in some part related to what you call "a problem for females on campus all over the country."

    Do you not see the excuse you typed there for the clothes being the cause, not boys doing illegal things on their own???

    Clothes worn are never part of the cause of rape.

    And to quote your quote from your above post "YOU cannot handle the truth" that you are part of the problem. Not once in your replies have you said clothes worn by women are not an excuse to be raped or harassed. But you did say you can't help but think the way they dress is in some part related to the problem.

    Any answer other than the boyscommitting the act are the only problem is wrong. That is the truth you need to learn to handle.

    As an outside observer I think his original post was worded awkward and consequently misleading. But dude since clarified his position and values on the topic and we all appear to be aligned. You might want to consider getting off his back

    I mean, it’s never permissible to rob me. I can increase or decrease the odds of that happening to me in many ways. In other words , it’s never the girls fault or in any justified. A girl can however change her odds in many situations.

    So you want me to believe that you don't think the way a woman is dressed, or just the way she looks, might trigger a sick male, a rapist or worse, to act on his sick impulses (on her or on someone like her). There can't be any connection. Okay. I know that poor Ted Bundy, for example, blamed it all on pornography. And I know that you as a Cat are much better educated, and more knowledgeable about life and crimes, than me as a Gator.

    No, I don't think the girl or her outfit is at fault. Again, anytime you state that you are glazing over the fact that ultimately the guy needs to not harass, touch, or rape a girl regardless of what she is wearing, or not wearing. No excuses. The guy is always wrong if the girl does not ask for his attention.

    Girls flash their books at Mardi Gras, Fantasy fest, Electric Carnival, etc and none of them should be touched or harassed correct? So how can anybarticle of clothing be used tonsay it tempted a guy, or caused him to do something to her?

    And sorry, but I am a Gator grad so nice try making an insult.

    The LegHumpers obviously run a corrupt program as part of a much bigger, corrupt system in Athens.

    Let's stick to sports and sports-related topics on Swamp Gas. OK? Thanks!

    It’s not really an excuse to say that the way you present yourself can attract the wrong kind of attention. That doesn’t excuse it or make it right or ok. It’s just the way it is.
