One in Three Women

In April of 2007, I was confronted with what seemed to be a no-brainer situation. A few classmates and I were discussing favorite movies and "The Hills Have Eyes" came up. Seeing as how I had never seen the movie and a good friend of mine had to get up and leave due to the violence, we tuned out as best we could. One of our fellow students asked why we hadn't seen the movie and my friend replied, "The opening scene is of a rape!" This was enough for me to chime in with my two cents. I told him that I felt there was no need for the plot line to show a rape being performed for the sake of the movie. This fellow student was persistent in telling me that the actors were being paid to be raped and it was all in justification of the movie. I couldn't help myself. I told him as sternly as I could that rape is never justified, and can never stand to be. My good friend, "Jane", and I wanted to prove this third party, "John", wrong. Jane & I came together on Facebook and made a group titled, "Rape is NEVER Justified". The conversation left the classroom and John began instigating the conversation online. Therefore, I pasted the IM transcript into the group. We invited our entire lists and before you knew it, we had 30 and 40 people in our group in less than a week. Eventually, we moved out to the Cause & Page applications as well as Myspace.
