Spinster aunt has no time for you

I want to send you a heartwarming picture that will answer all questions women could have. How can I do that?

That sounds fucken creepy.

Back on topic: Is it possible to be named “Chad” and not be a fucken dickbag?

That’s just beyond words.

You know it’s bad when the jury has mostly mullets and GGW mesh rats.

“Rape by deceit,” while somewhat redundant, is a great little concept, why don’t they know about it in St. Louis yet?

There are 145 and comments, all but two kicking the paper’s and author’s ass. This is my pick for best guffaw enducing rant. It was quite cheering so for your viewing pleasure please do enjoy!

“fuckriverfront times says:

FUCK RIVER FRONT TIMES!!!! WORTHLESS DRAB. WHO ALSO SUPPORTS INJUSTICE. WHAT A FUCKING UNINFORMATIVE PIECE OF SHIT!!!! EVERYONE THERE WILL MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE WHEN THE FUCKING LEAVE IT. YOUR GOING TO TRY TO JUSTIFY IT BY SAYING OH ITS JUST A COLUMN AND IT NO BIG DEAL. WRONG!!!!!!YOU ARE LOWERING THE STANDARDS OF THE WORLD AND SHOULD BE BRUTALLY KILLED FOR YOUR MAKING THE WORLD A WORSE PLACE TO LIVE THAN IT ALREADY IS

Ps. The “brutally killed” somehow strikes me as especially apt. Makes me laugh way too hard as well.
Hidee ho!

An Israeli judge convicted an Arab of “rape by deceit” of a Jewish woman to whom he allegedly represented himself as a Jewish bachelor. The reason this makes sense according to the logic of the state is that Israel cares about Jewish identity, as a Jewish state.

America doesn’t care about women’s lives or bodies, except perhaps as male property (i.e., look at that poor missing white girl/woman on four networks for 24 hours! and her poor parents/husband!). Sexual assault is not a crime modern industrialized states have a stake (as they perceive it) in stopping.

Nor does Israel much care about the Jewish Israeli women who are raped by Jewish Israeli men during compulsory military service, or otherwise.

In future news, gay rape in the post-don’t ask, don’t tell U.S. military WILL be a crime the state has a stake in investigating, prosecuting, convicting, and sentencing as if it were a serious assault. Because teh gays threaten the state. Because without latent homosexuality, the sports-defense complex would collapse?

The illogic boggles the mind, but that’s the logic of the state for ya.

On the bright side, if some guy sues or prosecutes you for kicking him in the nuts, you can be acquitted on the grounds that his being out in public while bearing said nuts was giving consent to be kicked in them. You’ve got precedent on your side.

That’s extremely discouraging, not to mention repugnant. The photo assault, but even more the verdict in court, the whole ‘she wanted it or she wouldn’t have been there’ argument. And the weekly mag, damn that’s ugly, where the commenting readers are a ton more righteous than the rag itself. This is not the first time that righteous commenting readers have provided a slim mitigation to a grim tale.

I read the Jezebel article, and the managing editor’s (non-)apology, which was enough to gag a maggot. I’m not going to look at the “Ass-Clown” column because I do not want to give Chad-the-molester a viewing stat from me.

This case just screams for an overturn-on-appeal, especially in light of the remarks the jury foreskin made about her ‘probably being okay with it’, even though she can be heard saying ‘no’ repeatedly on the video. It makes me want to take a really hard look at the skill-level of Jane Doe’s lawyer, for starters…

This is the ultimate outcome of the “You wouldn’t be outside if you didn’t want it” world we live in.

Common law says it’s not a rape unless there are two witnesses (have to citizens, which meant male and landowner back then). Have we taken even a step behind that medieval code? A video shows a woman protesting, yet she was found by a jury to have consented.

Speechless. Seriously.

“Rape by deceit” is a great step forward towards the Twist-solution. (btw, it has been mostly used to convict Jewish men in Israel). We should have this as a legal concept in the US too.

“Implied Consent” lies in the mind of the beholder. Never go anywhere, never do anything, because there will always be some man who thinks you’re asking for it, and a jury in St. Louis ready to back him up. Amazing how what a woman says she wants is less credible that what a man assumes she wants.

As if implied consent is really good enough for something like having your naked body sold to strangers over and over again. That is seriously life altering and is damaging to a person who didn’t consent. Implied consent is for tiny things, like getting a vaccine or getting your blood drawn.

I hope she can appeal this somehow.

But nails, having your naked body sold to strange women over and over because they find you hot and want to masturbate would be great.
Men don’t get it. They envy Jane Doe her desirability, and wish women wanted to look at them the way they look at women. Being desirable sounds great if you’re an autonomous human being and not a sex class commodity. They only way they get it is if one suggests that it wouldn’t be such fun to be ogled and menaced by huge men they might not be able to fend off. It wouldn’t be much fun if most of the men in the world were checking them out, staring at their crotches, touching them up, standing too close, making salacious remarks and veiled threats. But that’s unnatural. That’s gay. That’s disgusting.
Homophobia and sexism both reek of men’s fear that they’ll be treated like they treat women.
And, yes, I hope she appeals. Could there be two such woman-hating juries?
Don’t answer that.

Bushfire: I completely understand. But what are we to do in this instance? The most we can hope for is an appeal (which I guarantee is happening. There is always an appeal.) and a semi-coherent judge. There is nothing to “protest,” unless we can have marches against four-person-douche-canoe levels of stupidity. It’s frustrating as hell, but I can’t think of a thing to do about it, other than to tell everyone I know about the story because this kind of shit is not real news.

You know what is real news and gets national and international exposure? Chicks beating up on guys. We all know about that lady in Greece who set the man’s crotch on fire. Why? Because a man was the victim. That’s real news. That shit gets attention, possibly laws passed. Claiming implied consent in a situation that requires consent forms? When an assault is filmed? Possibly setting a precedent for every violent offender everywhere to claim “zie was asking for it”? Definitely not news. And anybody complaining is just a big old whiny pants.

The more I think about this the more pissed off I get.

@Speedbudget: it’s not that I have some sort of genious plan in mind. I’m just thinking that if men were scared of women’s reaction to being abused like this, then they might be less inclined to abuse. But women barely react. In this case, all the men on the jury and the judge and whomever else decided the woman “consented” are her abusers, just as much as the GGW videotaper and person who pulled down her shirt. I don’t know if there were women on the jury, or what their opinion might have been. But imagine if there was rioting, damage to the courthouse, threats to the responsible parties, fundraising for another lawyer for the victim, continued lawsuits, etc. Communities are so busy working long hours to support the megatheocorporatocracy they have no time or energy left to fight for justice. Or they are brainwashed and think nothing is wrong. Or whatever.

IBTP.

But women barely react.

Maybe that’s because for the last kabillion years, “reacting” has gotten us more abuse. Whom are you actually blaming?

Yes, a good, old-fashioned riot does sound good. I’ll bring a pitchfork.

And yes, there were women on the jury. Their opinions were much the same as the men: She shouldn’t have been outside with large mammary glands if she didn’t want to get assaulted. In my experience, the women are just as quick as the men to victim blame when it comes to rape and sexual assault.

Selina: I have the same problem. Just went to The Town Shoppe in New York City and found out my actual size is 34G. Who knew that even existed? But buying a properly fitted bra has changed things. They aren’t so prominent anymore. If you’re on the east coast, I recommend a trip.

Women’s movement.

Pardon me. I’m beat.

Maybe that’s because for the last kabillion years, “reacting” has gotten us more abuse. Whom are you actually blaming?

I didn’t mean to come across as blaming women. The reason for the non-reaction starts with a P.

Cycles,

You have no idea how often I have wanted to go up to those dudes with the low-hanging pants and just give them a good yank. They couldn’t run. Their pants are around their ankles. I could have a decent head start.

Hey, the next GGW, I right there with you! Now that sounds like some fun.

Cycles, that’s a brilliant notion. I thought about going to the GGW website to find out where the douchebags were headed next, then I reconsidered whether I had the sanity points to deal with what I was about to behold. I do not. Perhaps someone else can tell us where the next GGW event will be held.

And now, the good news
Published by Twisty on January 26, 2007.

GGW advertises their upcoming “events”. Rouse the locals and shut ’em down.

This reminds me never to walk the streets of St. Louis in anything less “modest” than a burqa, lest I be consenting to sexual assault. Which is a real buzz-kill, because I live here. I’ll be starting the revolution somewhere near Grand and Delor, if anyone wants to get a jump start.

For those asking for a calendar of upcoming ggw events, it looks like they have moved to facebook to keep track of their schedule. Here’s the upcoming week, busy busy little termites aren’t they.

Lovely, JREF fans. Phrases like “she had it coming” are about punishing women for their ‘sexuality’ (i.e. having female parts), not about a reasonable person thinking she willingly displayed her breasts to the public.

No JREF assholes, no one (male) will lose any sleep over this. But every woman who has read about this case surely will. “Behaving stupidly” and “choosing to toying around” (read: being female in public and having the audacity to think you’re body belongs to you) is now righteously punishable by assault? You guys would make the Taliban blush.

Cycles – I like your plan. But you know what’s missing? Video cameras. We need to film the exposed junk and sell the videos and profit from them.
Maybe it can be a whole new franchise. GGW Gone Wild.

Skeptifem (who I think posts here, too) is over there bravely trying to hold down the fort

Hehe, that would be Nails herself. And she’s always doing her best to bring enlightenment to the unenlightened. I salute thee, Nails/Skeptifem.

Hi Jill,

I have a question. This person Phiogistic rings a bell with me. I run a feminist bulletin board on yuku.com and a while ago I got a request from someone with that name to join the bb. I didn’t approve at the time because many people may know, I’m really not highly regarded due to my feminism and all my work exposing MRA’s. So I am incredibly picky about who I let in the board. Allecto is a member. If this person you speak of is the same phio then I will give them access to my board.

Sincerely
Diana Boston aka Sael Palani
