ABC News: Rapping quoted on Paris Hilton, double standards in judicial system

Elayne Rapping, professor of American studies, is quoted in an article on ABC News that looks at Paris Hilton's on-again, off-again, on-again jail sentence and double standards in the judicial system. "If you are a celebrity, you can pretty much get away with anything and get off really easily. It's a very, very sick thing that most women of their age cannot do what they do and get away with it," she said. "There's such a double standard....If the average young woman made sex videos about themselves, it would be porn, but these young women get away with it. They are so admired and imitated, it may very well be that going to jail may become a badge of honor." Go to article.
