Ex Stanford Swimmer Gets 6 Months for Drug Induced Rape

[JAG89]

CNN just did a great interview with Brian Banks who was Los Angeles teen with a promising football career ahead of him that was wrongfully convicted of rape. Ironically, his trial was in California which is the same state Brock Turner's trial was held. Great interview!!! I'll post it when a video is uploaded.

As she should.

We don't demand that teen boys dress a certain way so as to not distract adult female teachers from giving in to natural urges to boink them.

Not totally true. Boys have dress codes that promote modesty. No "wife beaters", do-rags, sagging pants....say what you want, but there are tons of women who find that look sexually attractive.

When I was in high school, boys could wear any type of shorts at all, even if they extended below the knees, but girls could wear any length of dress. And some of those girls dresses were so short, they would have been better off just by putting on a large T-shirt that would have covered the lower half of their body.

I doubt negating sexual attraction was the underlying reason for the dress code for male students. Sounds more like schools didn't want boys dressed like members of Ruff Ryders.

I guess only the boys were dressing like Ruff Ryders.

Did Toni Braxton wear something like this on an awards show???

You could say the same about women...we don't want them dressed like Thots. Nonetheless, dress codes are put in place for both genders to minimize distractions.

 

[JAG89]

Almost, but Toni Braxton had more on.

These girls are obviously dressed like this for prom, not for an average school day in March.

 

[JAG89]

Some of these girls today look like all they did was rap a bed sheet around them when they got dress.

For girls, it's for the greater good of the men and boys around them who we believe can't control themselves.

For guys, it's to confirm to an ideal image. It's why schools crack down on everything from baggy pants to facial hair.

So are you saying that's appropriate for high school proms???

You made poor comparison. That's what I'm saying.

 

[JAG89]

And you don't like answering questions which were a simple yes or no. LOL!!!

In a strange way, I actually think the photo of the swimmer in the suit and tie is more appropriate than a jail booking photo.

That image -- the young man smiling in a suit -- is a more accurate representation of what a rapist looks like more so than a disheveled, saddened young man in a jail jumpsuit.

A rapist is our neighbor. A rapist is one of our social media cohorts. A rapist is a member of our church. A rapist is a relative. A rapist is a teacher. A rapist is our close friend. A rapist is the All-American swimmer who looks like the boy you would want your daughter to date.

We ignorantly have been fed this archetype of what the Boogie Man is supposed to look like. Any random black man in a hoodie, for example. A buff, tatted up white man with a scraggly beard. Any Muslim is a potential terrorist, the right-wing tells us.

But more often than the Boogie Man is dressed just like Brock Turner.

The face of rape, and rape culture, should be the image of a preppy-looking white guy in suit. That way we can really know who to be wary of.

I agree. I read an interesting Op-Ed in the paper that outlined that point.
However, I don't agree with the judge's decision to let him off the hook.

Here's the interview with Brain Banks. Very good interview...........There's more to the interview that CNN cut short.

Damn, that's powerful.

 

[GoodFella]

So I guess when women teachers molest little boys and get off light it's women privledge huh? FOH Kendrick

 

[JAG89]

Damn, that's powerful.

You should have heard the part when he said and I'm paraphrasing, "most people in the court, including the people on the jury were more interested in getting back home to their normal lives when he was being convicted of a crime that he didn't commit and none of them didn't even want to make eye contact with him. Basically, he was a scared kid that didn't know what to do". But for some strange reason CNN cut the video short. IMO, that was the most powerful statement he made in that entire interview.

 

[Herbert77060]

True, but fair is fair. You can't sentence one group one way and another group another way. This has nothing to do with the actions of the female, but everything to do with the unfair practices of our legal system when race and money plays a part.

Just like the affluenza crap in North Texas. That boy KILLED four... count 'em 4 people and maybe more (if you count their potential offspring).

 

[Herbert77060]

Look at the Bill Cosby case. Whoever would have thought that naked drug addicted women hanging out in the Playboy Mansion would garnish this much attention about them being raped.

And that was the THING back then. Trading drugs for sex. Cocaine and pills were the drugs of choice to 'barter' with.

Shit like this really bothers me. As man who suffered the consequences of his decisions I feel some horrible type of way. I have seen guys come to prison like Turner and end up fucked up severely. I was lucky to have so much support but some guys have nothing and leave with nothing only to return.

This white boy is in protective custody at a country prison and will get out and move on.

I will bet my life he ends up not having to register as a sex offender because of some technicality.
