The rape victim's website, where do you stand?

I felt that was a hard choice. I think Don was making a strong case that it could be used to put people down or make a situation worse.

But when that actress, idk who she was, made her case that she was raped and there will never be any trial or any case it was really maddening. I imagine this crap happens at colleges all the time, esp at frat parties.

These guys high five each other and a girl lives in fear for the rest of the night.

Now Don made a strong case. But the truth is couldn't someone, as he put it, "take revenge" nonetheless? I mean couldn't anyone anywhere accuse someone on the internet.

Yes this website could be misused, but aside from Charlie's death, I thought it was one of the most poignant scenes in the series.

Where do you stand? Was Don right, or the victim?

I fully understand both sides of this argument but I side with Don. The anonymity of the internet makes it far too easy to accuse an innocent person of something that will ruin their lives.

What would happen if a guy logged on to that girl's website to discuss his experiences as a rape victim? While a large portion of rape victims are women this girl is also forgetting that men aren't immune.

I honestly want to know what the hell that girl thought was going to happen when she took any/every drug she could get her hands on AT A FRAT PARTY.
