Yeah, but on the other hand, I doubt you own any shirts that have hateful speech deliberately targeting individuals belonging to an already oppressed group with the suggestion they adhere more strictly to the ideology the group oppressive to these individuals demand the oppressed group adhere to [as this makes us more…

WORD.

WORD. Statutory rape shouldn't even be a crime—I mean, not once we're all fifteen or so.

I agree big time with the 'showing both sides is bullcrap' bit you talked about here.

WORD that this is the producers' intention; I think most folks who frequent Jezebel won't watch but I'm sure plenty of women out there will hate-watch it then dissect the ep w their friends..'n the 'we'll do anything for ratings' approaching=hypocritical 'n disgusting.

WORD. I really wish someone one day measured the occurrences of such plot "twists!?!?OMG?!?!" on L&O: SVU against actual stats of made-up accounts from rape victims.

Ya, or a shot for him to a) be on t.v. 'n b) gain some credibility as a "reformed" man.

WORD. If you do a search for quotes of his online, you find a lot of very disgusting, profanity-laced, sexist crap. I don't think men like this should be walking around without cuffs or a straitjacket on, personally, but the LAST place I think they have any right to be is on a show that claims to speak for victims of…

So, no. I'm not going to see it.

Definitely mocking abuse via either a) complete ignorance to the topic, which in today's society is inexcusable IMO or b) deliberately mocking a super serious topic in a way that has not been socially acceptable for decades [thank God] 'n that all reasonable humans have grown out of.

You are being sarcastic, right?

WORD. Not to mention, way to completely undermine future attempts to pass anti-sexual harassment legislation and/or poison future jurors' minds a la "she clearly secretly wanted it!"

That is what dogs and/or horses are for. Seriously—plenty of horse rescue groups wind up with lovely old horses who no one wants to adopt, because the horses can no longer be ridden. These horses are perfect end-of-life companions, and they love you consistently and devotedly; with horses, you never have to worry…

I don't believe that the legal system should focus on rehabilitation. I believe that every government office should use state-of-the-art evidence gathering procedures and equipment, that those convicted of misdemeanors should not do time [no matter how many] and that those convicted of felonies that are NOT robbery…

Oh, please. Just because he's a black man doesn't mean every single response to his behavior comes from a racist perspective. I would react just as badly to a convicted white rapist on this show. Yeah, I know Mike Tyson was more likely to be convicted of rape because he is black, but that doesn't discount what he did…

Ice-T sang about killing cops in the midst of an outbreak of racist violence for which the cops responsible were not held accountable. IMO his outrage was acceptable, if not expressed in the healthiest of ways.
