If someone young and hot sleeps with someone ugly but powerful and gets perks out of it, it’s ... consensual in some circumstances. Most of us don’t view 25 year old bombshells who marry 75 year old zillionaire’s as victims. There’s a big spectrum between ‘consensual relationship where power/money is a draw for one’…

He’s been the way he is for decades. She knew it when she married him. He’s a shitstain, and she happily married a shit stain for the wealth and power. And now she’ll keep lots of wealth but her power and fame will be curtailed and people don’t exactly feel too bad about that for her

A concern is that communication between victims means a defense of collusion can be brought forward. Not a lawyer, so I may be expressing this incorrectly, but this happened at a recent trial here in Canada. Basically in the case above it sounds like 6 women who didn’t know each other all accused this guy, and…

We can’t sit around speculating all day about who knew what and what did they know, and then act surprised when people, at the end of their statement, address the question.

The U.S. has a gun problem. This horrible story doesn’t represent it.

I wish more people stuck in this mess would leave it.

Basically ripped into anyone who suggested the Rolling Stone UVA rape article may not have been 100% accurate while evidence began piling up that in fact it might not have been accurate. *shrug* It’s about what I expect here. Believe all victims dominates here, unless they like the perpetrator and there’s literally no…

Being added on your parents insurance is one thing. Insured on your own car (which you have to do if there enough cars) is super expensive. I drove when I lived at home, then didn’t drive often for over 10 years. When I got a car again, I was in the process of moving, but had I been living downtown, they would have…

The comments on breitbart would suggest they’ve noticed.

Agreed. The dem’s need to get in the habit of pretending that outcomes are a negotiated deal with a ‘tough but fair’ POTUS where both sides didnt’ get exactly what they wanted, but got a good deal all around. And try not to giggle while saying it.

I occasionally lurk there, because I try to get ideas from sides I don’t agree with ... and I haven’t been able to find an -intelligent- expression of ... whatever it is Trump’s base believes.

I’m not sure that being prevented from ever working again is a suitable, or wise, punishment for people who commit sexual offences. If someone is so dangerous they can’t be out in public, they should be in jail. If they should be kept away from children, lets make that happen.

Examples like the rolling stone mess will continue to be brought up forever. In reality they should only be brought up until people stop claiming that alleged victims are never lying. I suspect that may also continue forever as well, so ....

He’s dressed appropriately. The ‘problem’ is a windbreaker and khaki’s doesn’t cover up for being overweight as well as a Brioni suit.

Is it? I don’t know. The average age of virginity loss is under 18 so it seems odd to me to set the age of consent over that.

Canada is 16 (with near age exceptions for people below 16). That’s a relatively recent change under the Jezebel-hated Steven Harper. It was 14 till the Harper government changed it. And no, that’s not 14 if close in age. That’s 14 with R Kelley would have been legal here 20 years ago.

There are a lot of married couples who are ... technically together, but basically dead marriages.

They’re anti-capitalist/anti globalist protests. They’d happen without him.

What many people seem to think ‘to drunk to consent’ means is not what it actually, legally, means in most cases.

That’s because its a bland knockoff of no particular cheese in particular. It’s not like you can go to Switzerland and just get ‘swiss’. I guess ‘swiss’ is supposed to be emmental.
