As MeToo unnerves China, a student fights to tell her story
"QINGDAO, China (AP) — The sight of five burly guards blocking the way out of her dorm filled Ren Liping with rage.
It was 3 a.m. on a recent Saturday and the thin, bespectacled 26-year-old Chinese graduate student was exhausted. Her mind raced back to earlier in the day when she had tried once again to publicly protest her alleged rape. Again, the police had stopped her and held her at a station for hours. Again, she was escorted back to campus.
Now this.
She pounded on the glass door with her fist, but the men ignored her. "This is illegal!" she shouted, to no response. She felt nauseous. Her face was numb. She picked up a bicycle pump in the corner and smashed it against the glass.
The door shattered.
"Whoever tries to suppress my case will end up like this door," Ren said to the men."

"The act was done not by a total stranger, but by a person I know well," the statement read. "There is a big hole in my heart now — I was dropped into the darkness."

NY Post Goes With A Rape Joke For Today's Jared Fogle Cover
A few months ago, President Obama implored the media and entertainment outlets to stop making prison rape jokes, due to the fact that rape, in or out of prison, is a horribly insensitive thing to make light of. But not if you're an editor at the NY Post, where they think it's hilarious to advocate prison rape as a suitable punishment for confessed pedophile and former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle.
