Re: What if the gender roles were reversed?
It should be attempted murder. The law need to be changed. Cut such a vascular area is not like cuttin off an arm. He nearly died. It is so horrible. I can not believe that the producers allowed those women to speak so carelessly of this crime.
But why is it so easy to make fun of this and why is the reaction of so many women unsympathetic. There seems to be a deep fount of hostility and anger towards men. I think it is because of the crimes against woman and children reported in the media.
The utter lack of laws to keep pedophiles locked away forever. The impression is that the lax laws seem to be because of male control of the judiciary. These men get light sentices and they are known to be incurable .
. Why is there no war on child moleters, sex offenders? Women have been instrumental in getting strong rape laws enacted. It was an uphill battle. Domestic abuse, difficult to get male dominated law enforcement to prosecute men who abuse women. The sex trade, manipulating underage girls into porn.
The tourist industry that caters to men traveling to South East Asia to have sex with enslaved children and young boys and girls. If any one cared about this depravity it would be easy to stop. There is the perception that any law that involves curtailing male sexual freedom is difficult or impossible to enact.
There is also the preception that Men seem to be very protective of thier sexual entitlements even if it is harmful to others.
The porn industry objectifies women and has abusive practices but it is those factors are either minimized or denied. There is very little sympathy or concern for women who face the unrealistic sexual expectation by men who get their sex education from porn. It's called spicing things up. It hard to accept that it is not code for act like that porn actress and not yourself.
I have read very unsympathetic comment by men when women accuses a man of rape or sexual assault. The same for the release of private sex tapes of women released by a bf - I have never once read a any critisizem of the bf but but a rush to see the tape and glee at the humiliation of the women. They are called ****s for making the film.
There is no reason to be find attempted murder funny. The fact that there is laughter may be emblematic an apparently intractable differences in our perception of what is acceptable sexual behavior.
It is frightening to consider that if you are a woman or child and you are unlucky enough to be targeted by a sexual predator that your life is forever changed. But the predator gets a year or two in jail if he is caught and he gets out to distroy more lives. This effects the life of every woman on the planet thorougout her life.
That may be the reason some women are so unsympathetic. It may be the feeling that if men had the same worries about being sexually violated as women, they would be more interested in enacting laws to protect the vulnerable. Just a thought or two . . Posted via Mobile Device
