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.

It's the maximum legal sentence, and 20 years is absolutely no joke

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. 🖕🏾

You can bring a bag to prison??

European prisons are different from American ones because they weren't modeled after slave pens

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.

Extrapolating this incident to male sexuality at large is idiotic.

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.

"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.

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.

EDIT: The other comments seem to have been removed

I can't imagine wanting/needing to rape my wife. There are so many layers to that I don't even know where to begin wrapping my brain around it.

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

[–] Mariemarion@lemm.ee 10 points 3 days ago (5 children)

He got the maximum sentence.
