      Also, don't you love how he dropped that little nugg about her "being raised in Asia"!!! Everyone knows the Asian water makes girls go ga-ga for rape in dark places.

    This kid looks so much like my ex (who is a good, decent, non-raping human being) it’s freaking me out. That, plus the Vanity Fair article, and pretty much everything else going on in America today has finally convinced me it’s time to go live under a rock.

    UGHHHHH DO NOT CALL A RAPIST “A STAR” AND CALL A RAPE VICTIM “PREPPY” IN THE OPENING OF YOUR ARTICLE ABOUT A RAPE.

    This is dog whistle apologist garbage at best.

    Also sorry you feel sad about your alma mater prep school because memories and youth but maybe grow the fuck up.

      Seriously. I have fond memories of my youth and alma mater, too, which means I would be incredibly protective of any victims of violence that occurred there while the school fails him/her. I wouldn’t excuse the behavior of a rapist because he knows the fight song.

    Well, his life better be in shambles. He’s a rapist. He gets zero sympathy from me.

      exaaaaactly. are we supposed to feel badly for him because he can’t go to harvard and he’s a registered sex offender? a great way to not have that happen which is utterly in your control is to not be a rapist.

    “In the fall of 2013, Labrie wrote of a ‘lonely gynecologist’ sitting in a greasy-spoon diner in Michigan, ‘mulling over the undeniably miserable and miserably undeniable fact that his vast knowledge of the vagina had never, not even once, been of practical use,’”

    What? What is this? Was he writing some weird short story about a gynecologist???

      I’m wondering if the lonely gynecologist went on a shooting rampage in the diner because bitches wouldn’t give him a little sumpin sumpin even though he’s a totally nice guy and knows all the things about their special places?

      Or did he just irreparably damage his life with an encounter that turned sexual?

    I read this article today and was pretty confused too- Parts of it were informative and even fair, but others were just absurd. I’m glad you commented on this! I didn’t even fully gather what was so bitter about Labrie’s life, other than having divorced parents. And then that description of the girl.... dear god, that is terrible. So, so gross and just fully designed to rest the blame on her shoulders.

      Not only are my parents divorced, but we are also not wealthy enough to afford private school! Yet somehow, I have managed to not commit sex crimes, as well. How did we do it?!

      ETA: I say sex crimes because I have committed many drug related “crimes.”

    also, why do we keep seeing thousands upon thousands of words dedicated to convicted pieces of shit? i don’t want to know their psyche. i don’t want to know about their parents. fuck them. these men authors are, as usual, focusing on the wrong thing.

      But we need to “understand” them or some other bullshit excuse people give for feeling sorry for rapists. Although I see the author went with the “he had a bad childhood” excuse for him being a rapist.

    For real, this guy’s description of Labrie was “star scholar-athlete” and award winner, but of the victim “privileged second-generation preppy” who had been warned already to stay away from him? And someone let this go to print?

      Where's the part about Labrie being warned to stay away from girls, in case he might rape them? Oh, wait — that never happened, I'm guessing. Society fails, yet again.
