it’s only rape if it’s a stranger in the shadows... and she was a good christian virgin

He would be outraged if she wasn’t wearing a 4-inch miniskirt for his own pleasure but also simultaneously fuming about how she could wear such a slutty outfit out that will make other men ogle his property and also if she gets raped on her way home that night, wtf did she expect wearing that mini skirt anyway.

Even when there is a “smoking gun,” which I take to mean video, eyewitnesses, DNA evidence, etc., they still make excuses and play devil’s advocate and blame the woman.

It was the bath salts, obviously! Nothing says “please drug and sexually assault me” like a tin of fucking bath salts.

So what we’ve learned here is that this juror is ignorant about sexual assault, apparently didn’t actually listen to the evidence, had already made up his mind before entering the courtroom, and has watched enough episodes of Columbo to learn the phrase ‘smoking gun’. Go figure.

I don’t know anything about the judiciary in Brazil but considering how many judges in America are elected I wouldn’t want them ruling either

It is a load of horseshit regarding this mentality. You got “men are so great, they are wise, and can’t do wrong”, and then they blame it’s her fault for not knowing he can’t control himself. GTFO.

I’m currently sitting in a public place trying not to go into a full fucking hulk rage after reading this idiot juror’s thoughts. Dozens and dozens of women with the same story but noooooooooo this slut was askin for it. MEN ARE THE WORST LETS RID OURSELVES OF ALL OF THEM

The stupidity and horribleness of men and how they talk about sexual assault—because of course a bare midriff means “drug me and fuck me any time you want”—makes me sick. What the fuck is a “smoking gun” in a rape case? Ugh. Ugh. Aaaaaarrrrgggh

Yep, it’s in the same vein as our idiot Evangelical VP Pence who won’t have a meal with a woman if his wife isn’t there. Fundamentalism of any kind typically leads to all kinds of stupidity.

I’d like to think a woman of any age could win this case, but talk about a dream client for her lawyers. An 81-year old Holocaust survivor. Even if Orthodox Jews are unhappy with the outcome, they can’t publicly disparage this woman’s character without looking like total assholes.

I think that’s why ElAl has free wine for the rest of us :)

I’m an observant jew. These people are idiots. I’m so glad this woman stood up to them.

Haredi think women are bellow floor and yet women are one who work and do everything, while man only pray

It’s this thing they do where they make all of the rules more extreme than required in the Talmud to eliminate the tiniest possibility of sin. Like, there’s two reasons for the ban on touching women— the section that says to avoid contact with a menstruating woman and the section that says to avoid adultery with the…

My first instinct is if you have trouble sitting next to a woman it’s not the 81 year old woman who has to move, it’s you. Even if the woman isn’t 81, you’re the one who still has to move.

We have family in Israel that we get stuck paying expensive flights to see every other year or so. El Al is a good airline with decent service and we still avoid booking it always specifically to avoid the Haredi. They’re up and down the aisles socializing, repeatedly getting up to get things out of bins, and just…

To quote Tim Whatley when he becomes a Jew on Seinfeld: “It’s our sense of humor that sustained us as a people for 3000 years.”

^^ EXACTLY!^^^

Hey, how about HE can move if he doesn’t want to sit there? For fuck’s sake.
