The most uncomfortable topic of all
The Daily Texan has bravely put a victim-sympathetic story about campus sexual assault on page one. Good for them and I hope they don't have too many nasty letters about women who "whine" about being raped.
The vast majority of sexual assault cases go unreported, a fact that this article really brings home by interviewing a professor on campus who collects anonymous stories from survivors. We as a society bear the collective blame for this problem--we make being a victim a shameful thing. If a friend tells me he's mugged, I want to hear the story. But a woman who confesses being a victim of sexual assault, we turn our eyes away. This, more than anything, makes survivors want to sweep it under the carpet.

It's definitely a shame that feeds itself. Victims feel shame and don't want to talk about it, which increases the sense that it's shameful to talk about it, which is put on the victims, very much a vicious circle.
