Sexism - Ann Arbor Style Pt. 2

Following up on its previous guffawing post, AtL has published an email sent out anonymously to the Michigan Law community by the law student sex worker assaulted by a Michigan professor. Thankfully, this time AtL did so without comment - I might prefer some words of support for the victim, but given what happened last time, I think this might be the best we can hope for.

And, as it turns out (as anyone with half a brain would have guessed) the "assault" described in the original article and reported by the police is a tad bit under-descriptive:

Most of you probably don't know what it's like to push a boxcutter into your own wrist and neck. Or what it's like to walk home from the psych ward, and set to the task of cleaning a room covered in your own blood. Or how humiliating and degrading it is to be penetrated against your will.

Ahh, yes, describing a rape victim as an assault victim who got beat about the face a little bit. You stay classy Ann Arbor PD. Oh wait, you already are:

It's clear to me now that the AAPD thinks this is funny. That's why they're not going through with the assault charge.

What Michigan 2L Sexual Assault Victim doesn't understand is that it is funny. Because she's a Law Student. And she was raped by a professor. While she was selling sex to pay her tuition.

And she went to the police because she thought they would do their job and investigate the crime, instead of making jokes at her expense in the press.

Get it?
