I guess that is is not politically correct for non-rape victims to empathize with rape victims, to put themselves in that other person's place and try to understand what the rape victim is going through in their life. Only government funded rape programs are allowed to talk about rape or to communicate with rape victims. That's how the media report comes across. Yet another example of the extremely poor quality of journalism nowadays. There was a time when the CBC was a trusted source of news in Canada, but that day is gone.
Actually I think this is a very good way to get the message across to CS students that software development is not just about technology. It is about understanding the application of technology in the real world which means that you need to listen and learn about real world problems and the people who deal with them.
I would go so far as to say that a professional software developer needs to have empathy with the people who work with the problem domain in order to excel.
