    Meet Brother Dean Saxton, Who Believes Women Are To Blame
    For Their Own Rape

    Brother Dean Saxton spends a lot of time on the
    University of Arizona campus slut shaming.

    Saxton is a student at UA and the resident campus
    preacher. He's very disliked on campus. Standing around
    with signs telling people they deserve to be raped
    doesn't help.

    Vice went to Arizona and spent time with Saxton for a
    mini-documentary, published online Monday.

    In one scene Vice captured, Saxton showed up at a
    screening of the documentary "Brave Miss World," which
    chronicles the experience of rape survivors, holding a
    sign declaring "Forgive Rapists."

    Yale Student: 'I Was Raped' - Rape is startlingly common

    YALE STUDENT: 'I WAS RAPED'

    By Nathan Harden - Fix Editor

    The topic of rape on college campuses is all over the
    media recently. There are two opposing views out there at
    the moment, generally speaking. The first view is that
    rape isn't as big of a problem as it is sometimes made
    out to be, instead statistics are inflated and confused
    by the ambiguities of "drunk sex" and the sex-with-near-
    strangers norm of the college hookup culture, and, in
    some cases, hyped, up by politically-motivated feminists
    who show little concern for the due process rights of
    young men who may be falsely accused. The second view is
    that there is an epidemic of rape on campus and that
    victims are often denied justice, criminals walk away
    free, while an indifferent society ends up blaming the
    victims.

    Both of these views, opposite though they may be, have an
    element of truth in them. As someone who has written
    quite a bit about sexual assault on campus and about the
    college sexual culture in general, I often find myself
    caught in the middle between these two sides, which too
    often seem to take an all-or-nothing approach to the
    argument. Feminists, for example, are almost never
    willing to admit something as simple as the fact that
    when two people get drunk, consent can become a much more
    murky question by the time the two wake up the next
    morning. Conservatives, on the other hand, sometimes
    sound as if they believe rape almost never happens on
    campus.

    The truth of the matter, I believe, lies between these
    two extremes. Rape is startlingly common on college
    campuses and rapists do get away with their crimes far
    too often. But on-campus rape is made more prevalent by
    the rampant abuse of inhibition-lowering alcohol, and by
    the fact that the modern hookup culture has radically
    transformed sexual expectations among casual
    acquaintances -- two factors that do a lot to muddy the
    lines of sexual consent. Anyone who points this out is at
    risk of being castigated for "blaming the victim."
