That interesting. I've read it a second time as well and I still don't get it. (Just to be clear: We're talking about the paragraph starting with "Something similar to the 'second rape' concept," right?)

Are we talking about the documentary or any class on rape law in general? I think he would disagree with warning his students any time they talk about violent crimes (presumably that comes up a lot), but not disagree with warning them when he shows a documentary that contains very graphic descriptions of such crimes.
- ZeroGravitas 11y agoThe key bit for me was the fact that students asked (after they'd seen the video) that they be given warnings about that kind of content. Which seems to imply that no warning was given. The rest of the paragraph seems to be the professor making the argument that giving such a warning would offend their principles in some way and that they have no intention of providing this courtesy in the future either.
