Blaming the victim : Comments

By Brendan O'Reilly, published 1/3/2021

It would have been fairer to all concerned, if these complaints had been properly investigated by police and (if merited) tried in a court.

Yes, the 'innocent until proven guilty' worry and so vigorously defended by males.

Yet in trying to report a sexual assault/rape all women are judged and treated as if they are 'guilty' or at the very least, lying.

Have a read through the ABC's program on Rape and policing.

I wonder what discount the judge would give for a rape offence.

I reckon it would need to be a discount that fits the crime.

The bigger the crime, the bigger the discount.

But let's not jump ahead of ourselves. After all, rape allegations have to first pass the mandatory 'No Means Yes Test'.

I always wonder in such cases how many times the 'Perpetrator' was in actual fact the victim !

individual,

Yes, of course.

No, make that a No. or maybe Yes.

Whatever . . . . . No means Yes.

Or is that Yes means No.

Hmmm . . . . . . How about we just ask Jen?

Dear Mopi

Who is this mysterious "Jen".

An astral Sun Goddess?

I do hope she's rather like Fergie, here http://youtu.be/I7HahVwYpwo?t=1m3s

plantagenet,

Everybody knows who Jen is.

She's like the female version of Apollo.
