Very few men see women as human beings in the way they see other men. Even if they'd never hurt a woman, they often see them as accessories. If you really listen to men talk about women, it's apparent.

it’s really inexcusible: it basically portrays a woman being gang-raped by urban metrosexual bro-clones. it’s not subtle at all, and i don’t believe shit like this can hide behind the mask of “art”, either. it’s hate speech; it’s anti-woman brand-based propaganda.

gee, i wonder where they got the idea to dehumanise women...

*yawn* 1/10

still not reading what you wrote. you are wasting your time, bro.

It sounds like you’re unable to see women as actual human beings with personalities and desires and traits that make them interesting and attractive and rather see them as ways to either one-up other men or to challenge men.

hatred and entitlement. she wasn’t a human being to them, just a warm body for them to mess with and destroy for amusement.

i had a severe depressive episode after this happened, because i couldn’t stop imagining it (yay for intrusive thoughts!) i’m not a religious person, but i hope there is a special place in hell for these men.

Thing is, a lot of her injuries weren’t from penises. They were from a metal bar with a hook on the end. It was a crime violence, of hatred, and of disregard for this poor woman’s life.

your problem is that you think you are far more funny and charming than you actually are. you can keep typing up these long-ass video-embedded comments, but you will be the only one reading them. if that does it for you, then enjoy yourself. no one else will. ;)

If your attraction to a woman is dependent on other men’s lack of attraction that’s...really fucking weird.

You are correct. Authorities described him as the “most brutal.”

Thanks for sharing your gross boner thoughts here.

Dead men don’t rape!

What’s really troubling with this in particular, is that I remember reading that he was the most brutal of the attackers - if of course one can even begin to quantify that horrific murder. So clearly this is a young man who is most likely far beyond saving and releasing him will endanger the society around him. He…

Evil. Completely evil. I remember when this happened and I had to stop reading the description of her injuries because they made me physically ill.

I don’t think Mystery is a bro. Like Dr. Drew once said of Pamela Anderson she’s female, female impersonator. By which he meant she’s just rebroadcasting normative social standards based on the incentives society conveyed to her. There’s no there there, it’s all artifice. Mystery is like the male version of that. It’s…

I think what complicates things is that the norms of dating back them really are against modern sensibilities. What we call rape now back then was seen as boys will be boys. It’s was a woman’s job to say no, and a man’s job to persist. And neither of them labeled it rape, even if it was rape.

How is “a woman afraid of what society thinks eventually overcomes that fear and does what she wants” not an improvement over “a man roofies and rapes a woman who just wants to get home to her family”?
