Annie Le was the Yale University student who, shortly before her wedding, was assaulted, killed and stuffed in a Yale laboratory crawlspace by a co-worker. They guy went to jail but little comfort that is to the friends and family who miss her.
Today, the family is filing a lawsuit against Yale University accusing them of failing to protect women and tolerating aggressive male behavior.
Okay, I dont know the details but I dont care BRA-FUCKING-VO!!! Its about time we, as a society, stop categorizing violence against women as an isolated tragedy and start looking at it as a cultural phenomena. Sexual and physical violence against women is being allowed and downplayed and in doing so it is encouraged. If society and institutions started to be held accountable for these acts, I'll bet they'll start taking it more seriously.
