BULLSHIT.
That whole theory that if she was drinking or dressed in a particular way means that it's okay if she is raped implies that if you show a lot of cash you're asking to be mugged. Let's take it to the next level, if you're a straight guy and you unknowingly walk into a gay bar does that mean that if you get drunk and you're showing some "plumbers crack" it's okay if the entire bar pulls a train on your ass? I see no difference. Some gay guys might even think that if you went into their bar you obviously were intrigued and possibly subconsciously interested.
To the lady who was victimized, I apologize on behalf of men. I know that doesn't help and won't let you sleep any better, unfortunately that is all I can offer. This lady obviously has some cajones, and I'm proud of her. She went to court and I assume had to deal with a defense lawyer who was the definition of legal weasel. Unless this attorney was a paragon of virtue he was going to make her relive the ordeal hoping she would break and decide that it would be better to just drop it. Do I know if he did this? Nope, I don't. I hope I'm wrong, if someone does know please let me know.
I will be the first to say that not all rapes are true rapes. I remember in the nineties reading about some rapes where the lady decided afterwards that she shouldn't have had sex and thought that meant it was a rape. Some child molestation is not truly molestation, I'm not going to get into the laws about age of consent and such but if two people are dating and it's fine and then one has a birthday and it's illegal that is not statutory rape or child molestation to me. This however cannot be described as anything else. The guys are minors, they knew what they did was wrong, treat them as adults for the punishment.
I do believe that child molestation and rape (I consider them to be the same. Attacking someone that cannot protect themselves) needs to be punished and be punished severely. If we know this person did commit the crime and can prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt, put a bullet in the back of their head. Anyone that commits those crimes cannot be rehabilitated and anyone that gets their jollies from doing things to a child should be removed from the gene pool. I'm not going to get into the mental health aspect of it either. These rapists were not insane or from some culture that thinks rape is okay. That actually wouldn't fly here either but someone would try it as a defense I bet. Some people think that castration (physical or chemical) is a better punishment for these crimes. Nope again. Some scientist mused that the greatest sex organ is the human brain, I can't say I disagree with him considering my observations of fetishes (you would be amazed what you can learn in a topless bar) and such. As such if the penis is not working wouldn't some rapist decide to use a proxy of some kind. Some might use drugs, some might use sex toys, some might use who knows what and in what manner. If the brain is the greatest sex organ then give them a .45 caliber castration to the back of the head.
The other part of the punishment goes to those people that believe that they deserved it. Still nope. Whenever we hear someone say this maybe we need to disagree with them so that the idiots that hear and believe them will have less stupid thoughts in their brain.
If my daughters want to wear sexy clothes am I going to stop them? That depends. The seven year old that wants to dress like the "prostitots" she might see at the local school will be told no. The fifteen year old that wants to wear a miniskirt and crop top, maybe. That will depend on where she's going, how short the skirt and top are and the child in question. Will this be more work that some blanket rules? Yepper, being a parent is work, deal with it.
In this rant I always implied that rapists were only men. That is not true. To anyone that says you can't rape a man, you're an idiot. Some men have been raped by men some by women. Some women have been raped by men some by women. The gender doesn't matter, if anyone wants to rape anyone else, I believe they need a bullet in the back of the head. I've heard that the first man to call a rape hotline was laughed at by the lady on the phone. This is third hand information that I hope is wrong. I truly hope that nowadays the response would be better.
My rant is over for the night. I know that rapes will continue to happen, that is just a statistical fact, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try our best to lower the number. One person at a time is better than "she was asking for it". That's it for tonight, this topic sickens me enough where I need to walk away from it for now.
I'm going to wake up my daughters and tell them I love them.
