A documentary opened this weekend that sheds a light on sexual assault on college campuses. These stories are some of the most disturbing stories of assault I have heard. Many times I hear of fraternities and athletes taking part in a gruesome sexual assault, complete with alcohol and sometimes drugs. Yes, those are things that are on a college campus. But we need to make sure that people are aware that when someone is drunk, they can not legally consent, and that using the "She/he was really drunk" defense is wrong and despicable.
A lot of people think that these reports are false, that someone just regretted what had happened the next morning and pointed fingers. But that happens so few times. It is estimated that for every 1,000 women attending a college or university, there are 35 incidents of rape each academic year. I personally think it would be an interesting documentary to watch. What do you all think? Let me know!
