Exactly. It is ultimately the fault of the crown that Jian was not convicted; the women should have been better prepared and given instruction that lying or withholding evidence in a court was not the right thing to do.

That's a very amped up comment.

Exactly. Even if Dr Luke doesn’t want to admit he raped her (which would be hard to do given all the comments other strong female artists have made about him) you would think he would offer Kesha the opportunity to work with other producers or buy herself out of the contract. I am sure Kesha would be happy to pay out…

I like how some speak so disapprovingly against the young woman who slept with a much more experienced man who was actually in a monogamous relationship ... but say nothing disapproving about the man who is actually in a monogamous relationship in the same situation. Sad to see so many women decide it is easier to…

Lol, I also speak out against animal testing - using your logic, that must mean I am also a rabbit. Of course, the same reasoning would imply I should be sorry you are a sad older woman who got left behind by her man without a second thought for someone much younger and far more attractive choice ...

“his defense managed to seriously damage the perceived credibility of all three women testifying against him.”

Was Jian actually charged with forcing women to have sex with him? I thought the charges related to unlawful battery or assault during consensual sexual encounters?

So because you think that a woman acted unethically in her early twenties by engaging in a relationship with a much older man in a position of authority over her (while remaining strangely silent on the actions of the much older man) you feel her opinion can be dismissed in perpuity on an unrelated topic. Ok, got it.

Oh god, I hope no one interprets my distaste for slutshaming as a defense of Ms Stewarts’s impersonation of an oak tree in the “Twilight” series. :) I just found it disappointing that people were so eager to attack anyone saying anything even vaguely supportive of Woody Allen (Who has not been charged with any crimes…

So just to clarify, you are now arguing that “Dude” is not a traditional gendered term, and that being promiscuous and being ethical is fundamentally different. Based on the last admission, I can see why you strongly advocate that a woman should be slutshamed for her sexual history.

If you say so, but I am not a male. How is my gender relevant?

Is it possible that an obvious intense dislike for a woman might make it difficult to objectively assess when you are slutshaming her in situations where it would otherwise be inappropriate?

“ethics shaming”

If that was the argument being made, it was done pretty poorly as it came off as dismissing her argument on the basis that she slept with a married person. And I think you have the arguments mixed up; I think it has been pretty much confirmed that she had an affair with a much more experienced older man when she was…

So basically if a woman makes a stupid sexual choice in her early twenties with a much older male in a position of power over her, we can use it to attack the credibility of her beliefs in perpetuity? Sounds like slut shaming to me.

Firstly, I find it hard to consider your comment as being objective given your own attempts to slutshame a prominent game show host. ;) More seriously, the manner in which the observation was made does appear to be a direct attempt to shame a woman for her past sexual indiscretions, which is very disappointing for an…

“Sleeping with a married director”

TBH this seems to be a much lower level of sexual abuse then you would expect over a 25 year period given that one in four women are raped over their lifetime. Either this shows that such schools are safer then other environments or, far more likely, this reflects a greater pressure to underreport and conceal such…

I guess that we should be grateful that a white man with obvious connections was convicted, even if it took video footage and the sentence was pitiful.

Except they have an unfortunate tendency to change their fictionalized version of real life events so that in episodes based around what turned out to be disproven incidents in real life, they inevitably end up having occurred in the SVU reality e.g their takes on the UVA rape case, Gamergate and Jamie Leigh Jones…
