My thoughts on this case haven’t changed much. I still believe that Mary Doe was raped, still admit I can’t know for sure. Contrary to what many critics have claimed, I don’t call for anyone to be convicted without a trial. (I haven’t seen a single feminist blogger disagree with the previous sentence, yet we are constantly <\/em>accused of wanting a conviction without a trial. Strawfeminists, anyone?)<\/p>\n

As always, check out Justice 4 Two Sisters<\/a>, a blog dedicated solely to this case. Many of the following links are via J4TS.<\/p>\n

Wahneema Lubiano: Perfect Victims and Perfect Villains<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

I’m suggesting that some of the discussion, the rhetoric, being circulated in the aftermath of the incident and coming either from those defending the alleged offenders or those defending the alleged victim, is rhetoric driven, haunted, by a fight over whether or not we have offenders who can be seen as “perfect”\u009d in their villainy and a victim whose victimage can be seen as necessarily complete and thus “perfect.”\u009d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nThe author seems less interested in actual guilt or innocence than he is in what elements lead to a “guilty” verdict. But it’s certainly an educational read.<\/p>\n

\nThis is pretty similar to an earlier post of mine (“Rape is not the only crime that pits one person’s word against another’s”<\/a>), but she uses a better example and also criticizes some of the feminist-bashing that’s going on.<\/p>\n
