please join me in telling this guy how fucking disgusting he is. He blamed Jane Doe for what happened and said we shouldn't ruin the lives of the Cornell 7. so let's ruin his life
That woman confronting one of the Cornell r*pists on campus about the group chat just for him to respond "but there were like 60 of us" is EXACTLY THE FUCKING PROBLEM
men will believe a woman is a slut with zero evidence, but they need a documentary, 12 witnesses, DNA, surveillance footage, and God’s signature to believe a man is a rapist.
My boyfriend told me our apartment cost $2,400 a month. I believed him because we’d agreed to split the rent, so I sent him $1,200 every month.
The lease was only in his name because his credit was better. He handled the landlord, deposit and monthly payment, so I never saw the paperwork. He told me the rent was $2,400, and I trusted him.
A few months later, his younger sister lost her job and needed somewhere to stay. We let her use the spare room temporarily. She gave us $300 a month toward electricity, internet and household expenses. That had nothing to do with the rent.
One Saturday, she was helping their mother sort through some documents her brother had left in a box at our apartment. She was looking for his insurance paperwork when she found the lease. She looked at the first page.
“Wait. You pay $1,200?”
“Yeah. Half the rent.”
She frowned. “Then why does the lease say $1,800?”
I thought she’d read it wrong.
She hadn’t.
The actual rent was $1,800. Not $2,400.
I looked at my boyfriend. He wouldn’t look at either of us.
Then he finally said, “I was going to tell you.”
That sentence made everything worse.
Because he’d had a whole year.

I gave my girlfriend a designer bag for her birthday, and all I got back was a secondhand cassette player. I was honestly confused.
“That bag was $1,400.”
“I know.”
“I saved for five months.”
“I know.”
“So what did this cost?”
“I’m not saying.”
We were two years in.
Her birthday was in April. I gave her the bag she’d been looking at since winter.
She hugged me for a long time.
My birthday was in August.
She handed me a heavy box.
Inside was an old cassette player, scratched up, with a piece of tape over the battery door.
There was one tape in it.
The label was blank.
“Happy birthday.”
“Thanks.”
“You don’t like it.”
“No, I love it.”
It was a lie.
I put it on a shelf and never touched it.
That night I told my brother about it.
“$1,400 for her, and I get a used Walkman.”
“Is it even working?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t press anything.”
“Man.”
“Yeah.”
A few weeks later, we had a small argument.
I don’t remember how it started.
I said it anyway.
“You could’ve at least bought me something new.”
She went quiet.
“You didn’t press play.”
“Press play on what?”
“The tape.”
“Why?”
“Please.”
That night I put the headphones on and pressed the button.
There was static.
Then a man cleared his throat.

The allegations in the Cornell sexual assault case are deeply disturbing and gut-wrenching. Cornell University has failed this survivor.
I fully support Governor Hochul's decision to name Attorney General James as special prosecutor in this case and look forward to the complete and extensive investigation that is to come.
Accountability and justice cannot simply be values, they must also be delivered.
Her name is Cereese Qusba.
She’s a student journalist at The Cornell Daily Sun, and she spent nearly TWO YEARS pursuing the story of the alleged gang rape at Cornell when much of the campus had moved on.
She built trust with Jane Doe. She kept digging. And when the lawsuit was filed, she was ready. Now the case has a special prosecutor and national attention.
This is why journalism matters. Give Cereese Qusba her flowers.
If you think the story of the Cornell rapist who was hired by Wells Fargo and then fired after police reopened their investigation is wild, wait till you hear about the serial rapist who was handed the nuclear codes and then re-elected by 77 million Americans (allegedly).
When my brother was 16, he got his girlfriend pregnant and shortly afterward decided he didn’t want to be with her anymore. My dad didn’t force him to stay. He simply said, “I can’t make you love someone. But if you’re old enough to help make a baby, you’re old enough to start taking responsibility for one.” The next morning, my dad woke him up early and took him straight to the construction site where he worked. My brother suddenly had a Saturday job.
girls will suffer unearthly tragedies and still run errands the same day with a smile on their face but if a man’s parents divorce when he is 12 he will unleash his wrath on the world for the rest of his life
