I have nothing original or earth-shattering to say. I just love Missy. Can't wait to hear something new from her.

Exactly. If he had beaten her and ripped her tits off, I guarantee he'd have gotten more than 2 years in the slammer.

Women get massively reduced (minimum 50%, average ~80%) sentences for the exact same crimes as their male counterparts.

It is intentionally and deliberately unfair and built on the sexist assumption that women are weak and can't handle being held responsible for their actions. It is is every bit as patriarchal and…

Battery is a general intent crime in almost every jurisdiction. The state doesn't have to prove intent beyond her wanting to inflict bodily harm on him. Which they did, in spades. the case was an absolute slam dunk in the state's favor.

anyone saying "it's just an assault" is pretty goddamned stupid, because , it's not even assault. It's aggravated battery with severe bodily harm and permanent disfigurement. A similar level of damage done by a male attacker on a female victim would land him the maximum sentence (10-25 years depending on jurisdiction)

Yeah, I kind of wondered why they didn't charge her with sexual assault.

My lady bits cringed, and if they could crawl up even further and hide behind my ribs, they'd do it right now. This is one of the most horrifying things I've read. Two years for this kind of assault? WTF? This is not someone the world really needs back on the streets anytime in the near future!

Were are those pics and gifs as expressions of horror in all those rape cases on jezebel? Could you point me to them, please? He's not castrated, oh so no real harm done then, huh? Just unbearable pain, trauma (yes, men have a soul, we are actual human beings), reconstructive surgery and long time recovery. Sure, no…

Lol the MRA group is just the opposite side of the crazy coin shared with the jezebel crowd. Two years for tearing off someone's nuts is nuts! She wasn't covered up, but this individual definitely did not get the justice she deserved.

Could someone try to explain to me the teeny tiny difference in punishment between the Vanderbilt rape case for example (minimum 15 years, maximum if consecutive up to 120 years or so) and this travesty of the law: 2 years!!

Bitch got off light for that assault. I feel awful for this guy.

HOW IS IT ONLY TWO YEARS!? I mean...really!?

Just two years? I mean, I get that in the US we tend to sentence people for too long, but... two years seems waaaaay too short for amputating part of a person's genitals.

yeah, I never liked kc and the sunshine band so I was all like, "Louie C.K., uh, no thanks!"

I'll never understand the vehemence with which some people must let us know they don't care about a topic others are interested in. It's right up there with telling someone their lunch looks gross.

You cared enough to make an assy comment about it. We're all duly impressed with your ignorance AND laziness.

Um.

He gets a pass all because his brother is a good neighbor.

Duke will also be self-imposing a postseason ban beginning on the first Saturday of the NCAA Tournament.

Just a public service announcement to you over sensitive feminists out there looking for men to hate...
