"Legal" and "right" are two vastly different things in this case, and legalities can be changed.

Well, when you need to deal with the problem of men being unable to control themselves, who better to blame but women!?

Alternatively, when you need a good reason to burn inconvenient women to death, you can just say that women are incapable of controlling their lusts, and that's what lets the devil in.

Her texts were not flirty. His were repeatedly overtly sexual and inappropriate. It's really pretty clear, I'm not sure how you're not getting it and continuing to be his apologist.

I love your comment. I can't believe how many comments on this site are like wellll she was flirting and his wife found out so it's cool. Like what the fuck guys this is a feminist site.

if only she weren't so attractive! if only she weren't so pretty! if only she didn't wear such revealing clothes!

If I remember correctly, they weren't sending each other flirty texts, he was sending her flirty texts and she was ignoring it.

Wow, Iowa Supreme Court, what a dick* move.

I saw "We Shall Overcrumb Cake". That's a winner.

Your country is fucked.
