that location at BYU specifically is informally known as Rape Hill, so of course the women aren't looking straight ahead

i know i'm very glib and i joke a lot, but i'm deadly serious right now.

Makes sense for the school that expels women for being assaulted. As if I needed another reason to hate BYU

He said rape is bad, but also any sex outside of marriage is bad.

So, by his logic, raping someone is no worse than getting consent if you aren't married.

Rape is often treated lighter than consensual sex

What the actual fuck

i can give you good reasons or bad reasons i got them all. one of the worst mistakes i made was attending there.

In your defense, there's a lot of social pressure to go to BYU within the Mormon church, and most high school kids don't have the experience and knowledge to navigate the official and unofficial propaganda. I just happened to luck out that my parents pushed me not to go to BYU
