yeah, it turned out ok. Crown Attorney outright rejected the case because there wasn't enough evidence to support her case but people are crying about "injustice" and failings of justice system.... I am completely puzzled.
Giving an idea a name doesn't make it true and it doesn't mean everyone else automatically is forced to buy in to the assumptions of neo-feminism anymore than we are obligated to buy in to the assumptions made by any other theoretical framework. You don't get to start the discussion starting from that position.
Ahh, I see your point. I see no injustice, seems like the legal system sorted it properly.
Fucking A! Tell you what, brosef, I hereby solemnly swear to never again use the term "rape culture", let alone present it as a valid theoretical framework, if and only if the term "white guilt" gets the same treatment from everyone else. After all, it's just as nebulous a theoretical framework (more so, even) and there is zero reason why it should be given any credence at all. I'll even go first. I won't mention "rape culture" again. But the moment someone decides to dismiss my point of view by labeling it the product of "white guilt" (a cheap and pathetic way to contradict a point without actually making an argument), all bets are off again. What's good for the goose and all that. Sound fair?
Ah. So your problem is with the media, and with the public jumping to conclusions based on limited information. Didn't we already come to the consensus we all agree on this in the Zimmerman threads?
Your handicap, does it preclude you from owning a firearm or holding public office?
Clearly you're too clever for me. What is this supposed to mean? And you didn't address my proposal.
My exact words:
And what legal proof is there that she was under "alcoholic influence"? If she is slurry, falling down drunk in the video, that would help that case. Otherwise, if she is appears coherent, it would be hard to prove intoxication. It's not like she took a breathalyzer right afterwards.
There's no hard limit... which is why these cases are tricky
Hmmm... "all those" meaning whom, exactly? I appear to be the only one presenting an alternate point of view in this thread, do I fall into "all those"? Strange, I did specifically say that a woman who tries to take advantage of a drunk guy for sex could very well face rape charges. Is it wrong to say that men are more often than not the instigators of sexual interaction? Is this an unfair point to bring up? I ask again (because nobody ventured a guess the first time), guess who's trying to change this shit? (Hint: It sure as fuck isn't you.)
Wait a second... are you saying that if someone chooses to drink they are complicit in their rape? That if someone doesn't want to get raped, they shouldn't "choose" (yes, choose) to drink? You can't possibly be making a point that stupid, but that's exactly what your words are saying.
That case should piss you off. Pisses me off too. Guess who's against this shit? C'mon, guess!
Guess what? If both you and the girl knew what you were getting into and you weren't a complete asshole about it (say, by inviting your friends to watch or sharing pictures of you fucking her online), then the chances of her accusing you of rape are next to zero. And if you're not sure that the girl is on the same page as you? Don't fuck her! Holy shit, look at that... exercising a minimum of personal responsibility and common sense just potentially saved your ass from rape charges! It's not a fucking dice roll whether you end up with a girl who'll accuse you of rape, which is something many of you refuse to acknowledge. A girl's not going to accuse someone of rape just for the hell of it, because she has second thoughts about fucking or because she's bored or whatever. They're human beings, for fuck's sake.
rape kit is a way to go. alleged victim must go to the police immediately instead of wasting the school's time with these bullshit complaints. rape accusations after the said act (a week later) is extremely fucked up and nearly impossible to prove. You could but it's so hard that it's going to drag you down. All it does is attacking your reputation at that point.
