I find it odd that despite the fact that he pulled the same shit with multiple other women, you're choosing to fixate on her behavior instead of his.
Both men and women can become physically aroused while being raped. I'm not sure if there are stats out there for men, but in women it happens about a quarter of the time. Some people's genitals will just do that involuntarily. Arousal does not equal consent.
People aren't always thinking clearly when confronted with a predator. Sometimes people are just sort of shocked and freeze up. That's why "yes means yes" is so important and such a better catch phrase than "no means no." We need to stop conflating not fighting back with consent.
Just as rapists target the drunk partiers, they also probably target people with mental health and/or substance abuse issues. These are two groups that are less likely to be believed.
My point is that judges are perfectly capable of upholding rape culture. Just because the judge believes she made a false accusation, doesn't mean she did. That judge could very well be a sexist, racist Islamophobe.
People want to stop rape, particularly the people in our judicial system. I'm genuinely sorry you don't recognize this.
Judge's opinions can be fallible too. Remember the judge in Montana who blamed a 14 year old for being raped by her teacher? http://www.thewire.com/politics/2014/…
It kind of sounds like they're mostly targeting women of color/immigrants for this. Am I right in assuming this? Any British Jezzies who have been following this here?
Because a simple "no thanks" always works on creeps. Thank the gods you're here to give us this brilliant solution.
Youneek and forduckssake (who are possibly the same person) are already shitting all over the place. Flag and dismiss everyone!
There's not enough stars in the world for this post. And there's not enough "fuck you" in the world for the "just go to the police" crowd.
Even when a man is the one behaving badly, it's still somehow always the woman's fault isn't it?
Men and women don't need to stop interacting in general, but I think you should probably cease any interactions with women. You clearly think men aren't capable of connecting with women in a way that isn't creepy and predatory.
It's like the Always Sunny episode in which Dennis goes to a pro-choice rally to pick up women.
Ooh. A condescending dig at Jezebel commenters. So creative!
Nobody is trying to claim that Michael Brown is hero. Actually, what we're saying is that a black person shouldn't have to be prove himself to be perfect in order to not deserve being murdered by the cops. By pointing out that we shouldn't protest Brown's death because he wasn't a saint, you are a huge part of the…
Did you just compare cops who shoot unarmed people (or just enable it) to rape victims? Fuck you.
Apparently shoplifting cigarillos is deserving of the death penalty but as long you're white, no amount of unethical behavior is enough to discredit you.
It's cute that he's pretending there's no racism in Venezuela. Therefore being part Venezuelan means he can't possible be racist. There's anti-black racism in South America too.
