At the beginning of the first page of the Boston Globe's website, there's a caption for an article that says:
"WPI says rape victim partly responsible for assault
Worcester Polytechnic Institute argues some of the fault belongs on the student for engaging in risky behavior."
The student was raped by a security guard at a residence where the school had told her that she had to live.
These are quotes from the article:
"The attorneys (for the school) asked Doe whether her parents had taught her 'don't take candy from a stranger' or how to protect herself from sexual assault. In describing the night, Doe said she expected a security guard to protect, not attack her.
One of the attorneys then asked: 'So it was okay to, despite the fact that you felt it was weird and you were surprised that he got into the elevator with you, you felt it was okay to go to the roof, a dark secluded roof with a man you know nothing about, whose name you didn't even know, and you felt that was not risky behavior? Do you understand my question?"
I think I understand the question; the question is "Why do you, a woman, think that you have the right to feel safe where you live?"
There's also an ad at the first page of the Boston Globe's website today for "The Pinehills."
It says:
"JOIN US: DREAM HOMES AND BRUNCH

After clicking on the ad, the page for the ad starts by saying:

The Boston Globe, like the New York Times, is also ridiculing me for my inability to stop the media from hacking my phone and email.
