On The End of the 00s: So Lax, by Katie Bakes

Nope, sorry. The definitive female perspective on the Duke rape case was published in Rolling Stone's "Sex & Scandal at Duke" a few years ago.

This reads like a slightly more thoughtful version of one anonymous co-ed's opinion of the case: "many female students at the university don't have much to say on the matter. They are keenly aware of the situation, of course -- some might say obsessed with it -- but most are ''reserving judgment,'' as one woman tells me. Many of the women I spoke to say they are deeply concerned for the lacrosse team, whose ''lives have been totally ruined.'' They are not overly concerned for the victim, who, many girls point out, was a stripper. The boys, they add, were the kinds of guys who could get any girl they wanted. ''They don't need to stoop to that level in order to have sex with somebody,'' one girl, a junior, tells me."
