When CNN Grieved For These Boys, They Totally Forgot About The Victim

If you need proof that rape culture exists, look no further than this GIF set, which comes from a powerful poem about how the media reacted to the results of the Steubenville rape case verdict.
















This GIF set was created by Tumblr user guykneecologist from the poem "Sons" by Terisa Siagatonu & Rudy Francisco. If you wanna be made sick to your stomach, here's the clip that's mentioned in the poem, where CNN essentially mourns the careers of the two high schoolers convicted of rape. Gross. If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, visit RAINN to get connected with resources to help. Thumbnail image via Thinkstock.
