How does sexual abuse involve everyone? Pretty sure it only involves people it happens to and who did it. Anyways, everyone knows about sexual abuse. So what's this awareness? Everyone already knows.. Same with all the cancer awarenesses and shit. Like it's not heard of...

Come on jcu27. You can't be serious? You have to be trolling here trying to get a rise out of someone and if not - holy hell batman. New philosophy in life, "Don't educate yourself or anyone else. Just bury your head in the sand. This isn't happening. I am in a happy place. Make the bad man go away." You are killing me and this type of attitude has damaged the U and the Griz football team. Time to grow up.

good for Stacy! that was well written and I certainly agree with her. Coach Delaney is just what our program needs and I have faith that he will do the right thing.

Wow it must be hard to drive with your head in your a$$! If you were trying to funny then I think I would recommend you pick topics that don't involve sexual assault or cancer.jcu27 said:

Part of her point is to have greater awareness so that more people intervene in situations, or suspected situations, of long-term abuse, involving both kids and adults. She is also concerned that the current situation in Missoula and with UM has created an unfortunate and counter-productive divide between some athletic supporters and anti-rape people, with some fingers being pointed back and forth at the wrong things, including at victims and athletes.

:clap: A voice of reason...rumor leads to nothing good! :clap:
Yes she did indeed write a great and needed unbiased letter. More should think about her writings.
Having said that many of you did not get part of jcu's point. Constant talking about this will soon fade similar to cancer, heart, smoking topics and if you (most have not) haven't been close to one that has dealt with sexual misconduct this will simply fade away.
Yes, date rape is a hot topic right now and should be. However, other areas of the US and most universities are not near as concerned as we are in Msla and at the U, so yes this will fade away in a few years.
In any event Stacy did a great service and at a great time. Thanks to her!

Sexual abuse involves everyone in MANY ways. Here are a few:
-We all have mothers, sisters, aunts, daughters, and female friends who could potentially be victimized.
-We all have fathers, brothers, uncles, sons and male friends who could potentially end up making a bad choice resulting in a JJ-like scenario (not suggesting innocence or guilt, just referencing something that someone as simple as JCU can relate to).
-Like drinking and driving (which takes and ruins many lives every day), we ALL have a social obligation to step in to prevent bad things from happening when someone is too drunk to make appropriate decisions for themselves (ie, if a female is in no condition to say 'no' for herself - say it for her; if a male is in no condition to realize he needs to back off or could potentially do something he will regret, step in and stop him. Take him to breakfast, put him to bed. Much like taking the keys and calling a cab for a friend who thinks they are sober enough to drive but really isn't).
-Education is NOT about letting people know that sexual assault happens, but that there are things we can all do to lessen it, and that there are lifelong, complicated repercussions that affect each relationship we have forever.
Anyone who slams the door on education and becoming more aware of any topic is destined to live life as an idiot and be told constantly on such forums to get their head out of their a$$. Nobody is above gaining more awareness on any topic and no harm can ever come from learning too much.
