Two words: Janis Joplin

I guess we’ll never know, and for good, victim-protecting reasons, but: I would love to hear more about the goddamn heroes that stopped and tackled that SOB rather than just cycling on by.

This case has made it clear that it’s the way parents raise their children that determines whether or not they respect the autonomy and boundaries of others. This guy probably wouldn’t have raped anyone had his father not all but taught him that it was acceptable.

The fact that he ran when caught shows that he wasn’t too drunk to know damned well what he was doing.

This fuck is a poster boy for the dumpster fire that is white male privilege.

My mom was born in Cebu. Yes, there is a major problem with poverty, corruption an child sex abuse but you can’t blame the church for all of it. All their issues stem from greed. I’m not a big fan of the Catholic church or organised religion in general but it’s just irrational for anybody to blame the church for all…

A good journalist would have looked into it before writing an article, and then stating the reason in the article (if there was one).

“Definition of rape

I just watched an episode of Dark Net (from a couple of months ago) about how Cebu in the Philippines has one of the fastest growing levels of high speed internet in the world.

Sexual assault, sexualized violence, sex trafficking, forced sex. All terms that could be used that wouldn’t imply consensual sex occurred between a sex trafficked child and a grown man.

When did tippy-toeing around dominant culture terminology become more important than presenting a feminist analysis around here?

I assumed that the nanny doesn’t live in the US and couldn’t be extradited but I could be wrong. It takes a particularly evil person to offer up a girl to some dude that asked for one, especially one that is related.

Right? From the Post article: “...U.S. District Judge Liam O’Grady said that the actions of others were irrelevant.”

That’s what gets me too! Isn’t this evil and awful enough???

Is there a scenario where a 34 year old man using his power to coerce a family into whoring out their 14 year old daughter as a de facto sex slave to him, then repeatedly “having sex” with her, can be considered anything other than rape?

“$40,370 in restitution”. What an exacting figure for being repeatedly raped and trafficked into a foreign country as a sex slave. For over a year. For the rest of her life this poor girl will think her worth is a measly damn $40,370.

I doubt there is a reason to avoid it. I just googled “age of consent El Salvador” (18 years) and “age of consent Virginia” (18 years, although the first link says 15). ETA: the stories may not have used the word “rape” because the charges are sex trafficking and sex tourism, not rape. But I don’t believe that the…

The nanny offered up her niece when asked about needing a teenage girl? What the holy fuck?

Really fucking sick of Jezebel, of all places, calling this bullshit “sex.”

On the other hand what he really needs is a bullet in his brain.
