Antiwomen's right, of course. In fact, I've noticed that he's never, ever, wrong.

The real issue here is neither the exploitation of this child by the execrable Sandilands and Jackie O and her mother, nor the alleged rape of a 12-year old girl, but rather the insidious feminist conspiracy against men.

Forget the appalling judgement and actions of Sandilands, O and her mother - wicked feminists like Tankard-Reist and Funnell actually set the whole thing up as part of their war against men! Just like other feminists set up the gang bangs and assaults against women by NRL players that Antiwomen claimed in another thread were really a dastardly plot by women to take over the NRL.

As Antiwomen has often told us, rape is something that women (and girls, from his latest) mostly invent as a way of attacking men.

Obviously the kid in this case is best off just getting over it and avoiding all that self-indulgent counselling crap. The rape claim was obviously bogus because she's asked for the investigation to be withdrawn.

On the other hand, maybe the poor kid just doesn't want to get raped yet again, by both the media and the criminal justice system.

Finally, I think Sandilands is finished. Not so sure about Jackie O.

Examinator:"you still seem unable to internalize that what took place and the show are wrong"

Do try to keep up. I'm pointing out that the fact that it was wrong only became an issue because the girl made the rape claim. If she hadn't and all had ended with giggles, no one would be jumping up and down about her "appalling treatment". Tankard-Reist and the rest would have kept looking for a better "victim" to hitch a publicity ride on and the girl would have been just as traumatised (or not) with no one giving a toss either way.

Nothing gets up my nose like the stench of sanctimonious hypocrisy.

I note the Pomeranian is still trying to work out what that thing is that keeps he can just keep in sight if he spins around really, really fast. Poor thing, someone should dock that tail.

Wow, you just can't get ya head around it. Amazing.

"I'm pointing out that the fact that it was wrong only became an issue because the girl made the rape claim."

FACT?. Sounds to me like YOUR OWN agenda driven opinion.

"If she hadn't and all had ended with giggles, no one would be jumping up and down about her "appalling treatment"."

Unbelievable....so she was treated fairly?. You're wrong there too. But that won't stop you, I'm sure. I can point you in the direction of hundreds of people whose main issue was with the initial point of the interrogation.

What an ugly soul you have. Where's your compassion?. I haven't come across someone as creepy as you in a long time.

Fractelle said, "not a shred of concern or empathy for a 14 yo child from A-septic". Hello Fractelle, I've noticed that too with what he's written here. He seems like a rather vile person.

Antiseptic.. you must be an excellent fellow if fractelle is criticisng you for "lack of empathy"...

I am an excellent fellow and I have been called the "OLO resident psychopath" for the same reason....

sometimes fractelle displays her lack of vocabulary by the limit and repetition of her slurs and insults.

But she is free to hurl whatever abuse she can dream up and I of course am free to hurl it back at her.... why dont you take a swipe too.. there is year round open season on lefties.

and re "The girl and her mother will no doubt continue to have a dysfunctional relationship."

from the little I have read/heard about the whole matter, the mother sounds like a right skank who, as a community service, should have been sterilised before she was old enough to procreate

MaryE:"He seems like a rather vile person."

Oh dear, another one unable to read simple English. The "vile" people are the ones who got their knees jerking as soon as they heard the word "rape". They're the ones who wouldn't have given a stuff if that word hadn't been used and they're the ones who are doing their best to create well-paying careers out of riding on the bacls of victims of all sorts.

If you support that sort of thing, you're pretty "vile" yourself.

StG:"you just can't get ya head around it."

LOL. I think I "got my head around it" pretty well.

It was all fine and dandy by everyone until the girl said "I was raped". The network approved of it, the mother approved, presumably the audience approved and the sponsors approved.

Well, the girl has stopped the police investigating, which is a pretty strong piece of evidence to support the theory that she made it up. Has anyone heard what the "lie detector" said about it? What could have been her motive in doing so?

Lots of interesting questions could have been discussed around this issue, none of which come from uncritically accepting the words uttered by the girl.

I find something in all this quite fascinating: never have I said I don't support the girl, never have i said I think the stunt was anything but dumb and puerile (not "abusive" per se, because we don't know whether the girl was coerced into appearing), yet merely for raising the possibility that she may have concocted the allegation I'm abused from pillar to post. I'm accused of lacking empathy, even being "vile" simply because I examined a possibility.

It sounds to me as thought there are a lot of would-be "thought-police" in this Brave New World of ours.
