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.

Where does sexually provocative/inviting clothing come into play ? Couple that with just as provocative/inviting body language & the groundwork is done for setting up a bloke !
A few lightly brushing against moves & presto, it's sexual harassment !
First taking full advantage of getting attention & once that is achieved just scream rape !
An integrity-devoid lawyer will soon extort money from some bloke who fancied his chances with some cheap Broad !

I think some of the old blokes on this forum, dream of what might have been. The mysterious but alluring young waif, provocative clothing, the sniff of sensual perfume, the alluring glance, the inviting body language! Oh no! Just when it was all about to happen poor old Fred wakes up! Reaches for his bottle of pills for his out of control tricky ticker! The Wife Mildred screams; "FRED! you forgot to take out the garbage.... AGAIN!"

That we have people who run a mile when the issue of Shorten's rape allegation are raised is instructive. As I said, playing politics with this demonstrates that these are the true misogynists since they are prepared to use these women for political gain while pretending concern.

Unlike Paul et al, the ABC recognises the problem. It ought to be remembered that the ABC, in collaboration with the Victorian police force, worked assiduously to suppress all information about the Shorten allegations and then fought assiduously to ignore the story once Shorten had outed himself. So they recognise the obvious double standard here.

I was rather hilarious last night when the ABC tried to address the double standard. What, they asked rhetorically, is the difference between the Shorten case and the Porter case, that would justify their rank hypocrisy? The answer? Well Shorten's accuser is still alive. Somehow in the mind of these 'great thinkers', that makes the cases totally different!!

Its all about politics. The women are just the pawns in a push to help Albanese in a possible election year. Now they are pushing for an inquiry as though the police investigation wasn't sufficient. Why? To what purpose? Simply to keep the story bubbling along. The alleged Porter rape took place 30 years ago. The Higgins alleged rape 2 years ago. Yet it all comes out just as the ALP/ABC electoral fortunes look the bleakest.

Just coincidence I guess.

How the Liberal Minister Linda Reynolds deals with a complaint from Brittany Higgins concerning rape with sympathy and compassion. She calls the poor girl a "LYING COW". About time this incompetent minister came out of the closet where she is hiding and RESIGN!

Breaking news: People who preen themselves as being anti-misogynist and piously say that we need more women in politics, demand that a woman be sacked.
