Mike Tyson’s Conviction

What is the real message in your editorial? Be date raped by a man who looks and acts like a thug in public and he will be convicted? Why are we just pointing fingers at high-profile and powerful men? What about the man next door who seems OK--the one your daughter or sister would date? “No” still doesn’t mean very much in the game of “he said-she said.” It seems “he said” still wins if a man appears to be less of a brute.

This is hardly a victory; we’re still in the first round.
