I know this is a controversial stance on the subject, but if you ask me, rape on college campuses is completely out of control. That's a thing you should already know if you've just been sort of following the news lately. Up until a few days ago when Orlando became the most dangerous place on Earth for a weekend, the headlines were dominated by stories about convicted rapist Brock Turner.
He's allegedly a swimmer also, but I only know him from the rape stuff.
If you've somehow missed it or forgotten, he's the Stanford University student who was convicted of raping a woman behind a dumpster and received an absurdly light six-month jail sentence for it, sparking waves of outrage everywhere you'd expect outrage to be found. I doubt that anyone other than dudes who wish they had more freedom to commit rapes think any part of this, from the crime to the slap-on-the-wrist punishment, is an isolated incident, but if so, I'd highly recommend checking out The Hunting Ground, a documentary you can watch on Netflix right now.
