She may have a very good grasp on what would have happened if she had pressed charges. She decided not to do so, and she may have had very good reasons for making that decision.



I think this is a really good point. Most college age women are old enough and have been around long enough to know how this thing “goes.”

I’m sure the mothers of sons AND daughters wish it were easier to prosecute and prove rape. It’s not like most sons are rapists. If it were easier to prove, it would also be easier to disprove, and much more cut and dried.

It’s an unfortunate reality all-around. Plus, many of these young men will become the father’s of daughters. It’s not a male v. female issue. It’s a criminal v. law-abiding citizen issue, even if it can feel inflamatory.
