Today we started our law presentations and it made me wonder about every situation that didn't necessarily make it to Supreme Court or even any court to begin with. I found several articles about less publicized and famous that I thought would be interesting to add to all the famous cases we are learning about now.
This one is a campus rape prevention article that focuses on a girl from Columbia who got raped and was essentially ignored by police officers and campus administration and is now taking action in several different ways. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/sep/02/-sp-campus-rape-prevention-yes-means-yes
This is an article about a woman who criticized video games (specifically Grand Theft Auto, Metro: Last Light, and even Dragon Age) for being sexist over social media and got so many severely threatening responses from men that she had to flee her home and contact authorities. http://mic.com/articles/97616/these-video-games-are-horribly-sexist-the-attacks-on-woman-who-critiqued-them-are-worse
Love the concept of "YES means YES". Let's hope it becomes law in California. Great blog post Madi.
