I've been inundated already. It's strange the extremes that supposed strong independent feminist types will go to.

Nothing like disagreement to send the crazies over the edge.

Thank you.

Um, the only one raging is you and a few of your equally emotionally unstable sisters.

Did I ever say "rape is no big deal"?

Heh! I thought that was a non-approved non-PC insult?

No. Why would it ruin my life? It's them doing something, not me.

I was abused by a scout leader in 7th grade. It didn't take me that long to get over it, though I never said much to anyone. Years later he showed up in the list that the BSA put out on "banned" scout leaders.

We have what are considered to be norms for feelings, yes. Someone who allows an assault like this to be "life ruining" is going to have issues with other things all through life.

Thank you!

True, and the practice is usually solid, but I think the prosecutor way overplayed that hand here. It's like raising too fast in a poker game.

Heh! 4/5 ain't bad, but I'm happy to pass on the last if you are male.

Rapists should get life in prison? Maybe a repeat offender, yes. Other than that, more hyperbole.

Another feminist call for "justice" I see.

I would think being in the penetrated position would enable you to handle it better than someone not accustomed to that.

No waivers. Why should you get off easy?

Wow, now I'm seriously hurt by your intellect, douche.

No, why should I submit?

Yep.

There is a wide range between "life ruining" and "shake it off like nothing happened", unless you are engaged in further hyperbole.
