Amy Andronicus: Raped in the U.S.A.

bmichael:

I can’t stop reading the coverage of the new gang rape case, even though it makes me sick to my stomach to keep on reading. It’s not just the crime that makes me feel physically ill when I think about it. It’s the coverage of the crime by nearly every major media outlet, from The New York Times to the Houston Chronicle to NBC.

In the past week, these news sources have perpetuated the myth that women, and yes, even 11-year-old girls, who are raped bring that crime upon themselves. It’s a theory that’s so widespread, some even call it a culture.
