    “okay but women not wanting to date men is just overreacting” - a sentiment we see even here on fucking Lemmy.

    Fifty different men. He also trained these men how to rape their wives.

      “okay but women not wanting to date men is just overreacting” - a sentiment we see even here on fucking Lemmy.

      We’ve dodged a lot of the usual garbage from Reddit over here, but that one definitely stuck around. The only negative comments I’ve received on any of my lemmy accounts are guys furious when you point out men are more violent partners. Like they just cannot admit that as a society the ‘boys will be boys’ mentality was used to allow a lot of awful behaviours like rape. Hell, Revenge of The Nerds has a rape scene in it and people only recently started to speak out against it.

      So, sorry for the downvotes, but at least we all know it’s a bunch of insecure men. Maybe they’ll learn, maybe they won’t, but you have allies here in the mean time.

        Personally, I have raped exactly the number of women in my life that I have wanted to. 0.

        Just because you are a man, it does not automatically make you untrustworthy, but it is prudent to exercise caution with all people in general—we are unpredictable apes.

          yeah I have since amended to really just people in general. Another thing people need to remember is that unfortunately people tend to be screwed by the people closest to them. We are a sad little species.

            We are a normal species. It is not unusual for animals to pick on the weak—just look at how many mammals eat the runt of the litter.

            The lesson, I believe, is to take your own protection seriously, and not underestimate the potential of people around you due to familiarity. Hope for the best, be prepared for the worst.

      I was thinking it really wasn’t that bad on here as you described, but I just read some other comments under this post and I was dead wrong. Disappointing.

    Many defendants arrived at the hearing with their bags packed ready for prison. One of them was in tears as he hugged his companion before entering the courtroom.

    Aww, boo fucking hoo. 🖕🏾

    Y’all ever notice how much male sexuality is performative for the benefit of other men? I’m not saying that they’re gay, they just seem more motivated by peer approval and status than touching a girl.

    I recently saw an interview with a stripper who said that the dudes who wanted attention from the girls used $100 bills and were discrete, while the dudes who tossed 100 $1 bills were more interested in the attention of their buddies.

      There’s a weird thing with “conquest”, pulling the ladies, and being somewhat deviant that’s tied to manliness and straightness for some reason.

      Another interesting thing, in that same vein, is asexual or lesbian women that just go along with being in heterosexual relationships with men because it’s ‘normal’ or convenient.

            It does decrease sensitivity to consequences and decrease empathy. It also results in dominance seeking behaviour. It’s why what happened to the victim, is done more often by men than women.

    Her face in that thumbnail, so happy, and I think a bit at peace too. True complete peace with the horror that she’s faced will be a long time coming, but she’s channeled that immediate rage into justice. And started a larger movement to combat the ingrained misogyny in their (ours?) culture. It’s way too short a sentence for him, but he probably won’t make it out alive.

    I want my wife to do me like that but I don’t want her going to jail for it. I’d there a way that we could all have more and better sex and not go to jail? It would fucking suck if all you wanted was so easily reachable and achievable without harm to anyone but totally illegal. Like what if reading too many science books actually was illegal and you could go to jail for that?

      Well the main difference there would be between this case and sex between you and your wife I’d hope would be there was consent between you two.

      Do tell sir, how what this woman went through wasn’t ’harming anyone’.

      You want your wife to drug you and then let 50 men rape you?

      Well, if you consent to that, then nobody will go to jail and all will be well.

      Unless the drugs are illegal, I guess. Use legal drugs and write your consent. Have a lawyer look it over. Then, have fun!

    A real shame. With that many assaults, it really should have been a longer sentence.

        depends on if they had chosen to sentence him for 51 crimes or one crime with 51 incidences. They should have sentenced the husband to 51x20 years, or 1020 years in prison.

          That’s not how it works in France at all. You get prosecuted on all charges, but only condemned for the most grievous offense. So for a murder+assault+trespassing case, if found guilty of all charges, your sentence would only be for murder.

          As all condemnation it takes context into account, like the assault + trespassing, but if there were limits on murder sentences then you’d only be sentence-able to that crime’s legal sentencing limits (there are none for murder, which is the only crime that has no sentencing limits).

            The US prison system is made for maximal punishment instead of giving a chance for redemption.
            The idea is to keep the prisoners away from society for as long as possible… And got further twisted by for-profit prison as the longer the sentence is, the longer they keep their slave… Sorry, prisoners, for cheap labor.

            Looked it up: “French sentencing law generally forbids consecutive sentencing”

            Today I learned. My bad, thanks.
