When I Tried to Talk to My Prep School About Rape Culture, They Wouldn't Listen
The first time I found myself in trouble at prep school, cross-legged in the office of the Exeter Dean of Residential Life, it wasn’t because of plagiarism or a drug bust or the “illegal visitation” of being caught in a boy’s dorm room during the wrong hours. It was because I’d written an op-ed for the Exonian suggesting that the school’s attempt to curb “grinding” at dances was actually a way of disguising the prevalence and acceptance of sexual assault.
