What's especially sick about the Cornell thing is that, speaking from experience doing IV ketamine for treatment, ket allows you to feel your body and have conscious thoughts but you cannot make your body move. That she was forced to endure seven hours of torture is beyond me, and will have to live with this for a lifetime, as traumatic memories are not integrated into normal memory but stored in active memory, so the limbic system experiences them as current when prompted, and the inescapable horror happens to her again as if no time has passed. This is why rape is so insidious, and is essentially a life sentence even if victims technically reach remission with years of hard work.
These men should perhaps be in prison for the time it takes her to get her PTSD into remission, which will take at least a decade or more at minimum... Though many never reach that level of recovery.
Kudos to the student journalists at The Cornell Daily Sun.
This is why journalism matters, at all levels. Keep shining a light on the darkest corners of power.
Do you know what’s so fucked up? When a woman is raped, it alters the trajectory of her entire life. But it doesn’t seem to make a fucking difference for the rapist’s life.
The seven rapists from Cornell University should have their lives so thoroughly and permanently ruined that they never know peace, redemption, or any sort of satisfaction. The rape is irredeemable, so is the group chat, so is Cornell for giving them "essays" as faux punishment
