What you mentioned is a good start. I can’t think of another crime where the victims are so often interrogated, so educating the police is paramount. I read an interesting article on CNN calling to shift resources from the war on drugs (which has been an epic failure in so many ways) to tackling abuse, rape, and…

Not that I agree with the OP, but is tit-for-tat retribution really the key to anyone being treated right? “This sex did this wrong thing so we should do THIS wrong thing” sounds like the exact opposite of how anything was ever peacefully resolved in history, ever.

Eye for an eye. Great plan you got there.......

“When the number of innocent men punished comes anywhere close to the number of abused/assaulted women who haven’t received any form of justice, then it’ll be time to become concerned.”

This might be a little long but it’s meeting my once-per-day “reply to dissent politely rather than with snark” quota.

I know about the alcohol problem in the European parts of the USSR - that they inherited from the Russian Empire and that still exists in today’s Russian Federation.

I mean, OP doesn’t really have a point, but what you’re describing is a race to the bottom. Making men have it just as bad as women have had in the past might feel good as comeuppance but it doesn’t actually fix much.

The company is doing a real investigation. We should not be feeling sorry for the guy.

The greatest thing that John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd did for the world was use the Blues Brothers and The Blues Brothers to highlight some of the greatest session musicians ever to play.   They all became more than faces behind the better known frontmen and women.  Add to that preserving performances by Cab Calloway,…

Not to comment on the specifics of this case, but on a broader issue it brings up:

You’re a terrible googler. Ten minutes?! She has a wikipedia page!

Maybe because they wanted to keep their jobs?

Look at East Germany or the Soviet Union

HEY! Next time, please start with SPOILER ALERT, buddy

Next week’s question:

I always found his over-enthusiasm weird and insincere.

Everyone just believes what they’re told even if it’s an obvious lie like this article.

Maybe it’s because he’s seen Rob Zombie’s movies.
