I would need to know about the individual case. Some may claim it for sympathy or benefits - others not. Jane planned on sleeping with him and he got rough with her. I would put it on the level of a mugging. It wasn't like he was stealing her innocence. She needed to resolve to not go to hotel rooms with strange…

I agree!

If 'taking up' means questioning why Jane did not terminate the child then I can watch my own back, thanks. That would be a worse decision than her misguided hotel adventure 6 years ago that she is still marinating in.

As a teenager I once drank so much that I passed out at the wheel and ended up on the side of the road with a flat tire. I don't recall getting there or the tire blowing out. I was quite shaken by that. I could have killed myself or someone else. Did I 'deserve' to die? I don't think so - but it was a stupid thing…

There should be - or you can waste the rest of your life fixated on it. I think it is the most interesting thing that has happened to Jane and she doesn't want to let it go.

Yes to your first 4 questions. What's 4chan?

How brutal was it? She just implied that he got rough and she went along with it because she was afraid he would hurt her if she didn't. These kinds of things happen when you put yourself in hotel rooms with strange men.

She should not have gone to a hotel room with a man because the kind of man who would use her like that would be more apt to harm her physically. She should consider herself lucky for escaping and never do anything that stupid again.

-Ed saying Bonnie is the best step mom ever… Uh. no. Intrusively took Madeline's daughter to Planned Parenthood, danced like a slut at a kindergarten bday party,…
