Alternatively, she could have just turned intangible.

Definitely not some fool whose logic originated in the stone age.

I have a question for 'patriarch34,' who has been vomiting victim blaming all over the threads of this post.

Are you implying that she did not, in fact, want to be beaten senseless and repeatedly gang raped by two weird men on a dirty mattress in a derelict building? Then why did she leave her house? Women are so confusing with their mixed signals.

Exactly my thoughts.

Well, if she does have MS, then she was just asking for it then. Because MS turns you into a giant slut who is just asking to be sexually violated by strangers. If she has MS, she deserved it!

I wouldn't necessarily say worse than ever...but yes, things are bad.

Oh wow, how shocking! A group of white men in positions of authority being total pricks to women who have been victimized. That never happens! All sarcasm aside, what the fuck is wrong with society and the way we treat rape victims? This is fucking 2014, not 1955. Why can't men get it through their dense, dumb skulls…

The dirty little secret of the world is that very few people who in fact "make very reliable witnesses" (cameras make the best witnesses, and even those can miss plenty of facts). If a prosecutor wants to address what (s)he perceives as evidentiary problems at a certain point, that's something to be left for later…

Exactly, this SHOULD be a textbook case of "real rape" for those who still think there's a scale. And yet, even in this instance, she didn't get the help she is entitled to get from the police. It's disheartening.

Finally, the fuckmat has allowed me to "discuss" without the piggyback work-around of replying to someone else's post. Yay. Who knows what changed.

Well obviously, women should arrange every aspect of their lives around the idea that could be raped at any moment. Except by being wary of strange men and rebuffing them if they approach you. That's MISANDRY!

Because obviously the MS made her fall onto a penis and fall onto a guys fists and feet. Repeatedly.

The part that really jumped out at me - and its a perverse commentary on our society that it wasn't the 'gang rape' part, given how frequently it happens - was that the police automatically accused her of being a drug addict because of her Fentanyl patch....how completely fucked up and infuriating is it that taking…

Well she has to first show that she did indeed not ask for it. Then she has to show that she was not wearing anything slutty, explain why she was out alone, why she didn't stay more alert, why she didn't fight harder. And then... be absolutely certain that she did not ask for it. Either way, she still asked for it and…

exactly. My sister has MS and it is a "mild" form of MS. I understand the basics of the disease and its effect on the body. What i do NOT understand is what the fuckall it has to do with being raped? Would it make a difference if she had been mugged? Would they be asking the same questions if she had actually…

Today is Gloria Steinem's 80th birthday and things are worse than ever.

Didn't you know? Semen and foreign pubic hairs are common complications of MS.

Fun riddle: exactly how raped does a woman have to be before the people who are supposed to be on her side start treating her like a human being?

Words are just inadequate to describe the outrage.
