24. I believe we saw the end of any gains women
might have made in bringing rapists to justice when the judge in the Kobe Bryant case allowed the victim's name to be published (could even say he managed it since the leak came out of his office) and they made her sexual history a major part of the case. That gave the signal that it's ok once again to give a wink and a nudge because 'boys will be boys' and girls really mean yes when they say no...and if they aren't virgins they don't have a right to say no in the first place.
