I would add, if you wouldn’t hug a man in the same situation, do not think its automatically okay to hug a woman.

Also, alcohol hasn’t been considered a weapon. But I read somewhere that it’s the most common rape weapon.

Well considering this is what judges thought of women and children who came out as victims of rape, that kind of law is not surprising:

Sure, but this discrepancy/loophole/feature isn’t about opposing mandatory minimums.

No no, often the laws are named after the victim and not the perpetrator. People will misunderstand the name. So it needs to be called something like ‘Never Forget Brock Turner Is An Unapologetic Rapist And Got Away With A Slap On The Wrist Law’

I agree there’s valid reasons to oppose mandatory minimum sentences in general but I highly doubt your possibility. I made a longer comment later in this thread but this sentencing discrepancy really tracks the way laws have evolved (or not) with our evolved understanding of rape.

This is kinda me being a pedant but I do think it’s actually an important point.

Am I the only one who thinks that it’s too soon for a Robin Williams film remake? Never is too soon. No one will ever be equal to him in those roles, let alone better.

I’m honestly loving that everyone in this comment section is wondering why her Doctor Who role was omitted from the article.

Karen Gillan is probably best known as Nebula in Guardians of the Galaxy

No mention of the role she’s ACTUALLY best known for, Amy Pond from Doctor Who? FOR SHAME.

pleasepleasepleaseplease don’t make her speak in anything other than her native voice! NO AMERICAN ACCENTS FOR KAREN.

What the ever-loving fuck? If I’m wearing headphones and you interrupt me, it better be because the building is on fire or there’s something else that immediately needs my attention. Otherwise? Fuck off.

I see attractive guys all the time, but somehow I’m able to control myself, understand that those men are people, and that they probably don’t want a stranger interrupting their day to demand that they acknowledge me and my vagina.

The linked article was equally as horrifying, IMHO. At least in the bathroom I could always fling my feces at him like my primate ancestors.

You: [Add in some humor to get her smiling and create a spark between you] Cool…nice to meet you Jessica. I don’t normally talk to girls with headphones, but your big green headphones were just calling out to me.

I’m beginning to suspect that women have different life experiences than I do

Why are you telling people women poop. YOU ARE GIVING AWAY OUR SECRETS.
