My two cents
I guess the Duke rape has turned into one of those cultural flashpoints where incomprehensibly ignorant lunatics try justify their hateful and dangerous views with certifiably insane lines of argument. Here’s my two cents.
Living just off Penn campus and just down the road from Princeton, I went to a few Ivy League parties and let me tell you something. Sodomizing strippers against their will, minority or not, (or as the 60’s radical feminist liberals call it, “rape”) was just a way of life. Why in springtime, it wasn’t uncommon to see professors sexually assaulting provocatively dressed female students right out on the college green. What do you expect? Boys will be boys. It’s been an American tradition since biblical times… speaking of which, in trying circumstances like these, we should turn to the bible for guidance:
Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NAB
If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.
Sounds fair enough. Except… there’s still the problem of the whole gang-rape thing. I mean, she can’t marry them all. And that’s not even to mention the whole race/class dimension of it. Better keep reading:
Deuteronomy 22:23-24 NAB
If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death…
I like that. No loose ends. And that’s the end of that chapter.
