these are teachable moments, they say, but how good a teacher am I?

Just sent my brother a really awkward but necessary email about the Steubenville case & rape culture & sex in general. Reading about the details of the case and ensuing trial and commentary in the media just makes me really, really angry, and really, really sad. There is so much about the culture, about society's perceptions and words and actions, that need to be addressed.
