Welcome - and don't go to Tufts University or UVA, they don't care if you get raped

Welcome to my blog. This blog is about me and about stuff in the world.

I'm 27 and working on becoming a High Priest of Wicca. For any ignorant Americans (not saying all Americans are ignorant) reading this, that's not the same as Satanism no matter what a misguided preacher in your country tells you. I'm English and I'm a university graduate. And I'm male and a vegan (again, to ignorant people, no that doesn't mean I'm going to picket your house if you eat meat - to each their own).

I've been putting random crap into google as I often do, and in this instance I was seeing what would actually show if I put stuff like 'sex' etc. into google with the image filter on. Not much, and eventually I put in the word 'rape'. A few silly jokes, then this website: http://rapedattufts.info/.

It's a website with experiences that make it very clear that if you are raped, or are in any kind of abusive relationship (at least if you're female and the rapist/abuser is male), you'll get indifference and hostility from the university staff at Tufts University and even the university police.


A "joke" poster that demonstrates the backwards view, prevalent at Tufts University and UVA, that if women wear comfortable clothing, they should "expect" to be raped, especially if they happen to joke around.

So if you are female and planning on studying there (http://www.tufts.edu/)  - please don't. If you've already applied and it's too late to apply elsewhere (I'm not sure how the univerity system works in the U.S.A.), remember it's better to wait a year and lower your risk of being raped (not saying it won't happen but why go to somewhere where it seems quite likely as the offenders know they won't be punished?) than to go to a university this year and get raped and not even get justice.

Another university to avoid for similar reasons is UVA (University of Virginia) - details at this link: http://www.uvavictimsofrape.com/. The UVA website is http://www.virginia.edu/ and I have put the university websites so you know which ones I'm talking about.

What the heck is it with U.S. universities? I can't remember the name of it but I think there was another one that I read about too - similar stuff. Seems they care more about their image than helping students - even though them not helping students will negatively affect their image.

Also remember that in the U.S.A., universities count as "schools", and U.S. courts have consistently made it clear that schools can blatantly ignore th U.S. constitution. I bet their ancestors would be outraged if still alive.
