We are in the midst of a social crisis at this time. It's a societal conniption.
And therein you describe your problem.
The crisis isn't a "conniption" of women speaking out; the ongoing crisis is rape culture itself.

Okay, I will concede that our culture has fostered an image of women that paints them in a lesser role--weak, fragile, and incompetent. However, the #MeToo movement, to me, appears to reinforce that stereotype: weak, fragile, and incompetent.And therein you describe your problem.

Agreed.Okay, I will concede that our culture has fostered an image of women that paints them in a lesser role--weak, fragile, and incompetent.
How are women who stand up to abusers and fight back "weak, fragile, and incompetent?"However, the #MeToo movement, to me, appears to reinforce that stereotype: weak, fragile, and incompetent.
Well, from that perspective, the "#MeToo" movement will help overall. (As long as you're not a sexual assaulter, of course.)I can't site the study, but I read most men prefer women who are strong and self-confident.
this is also common. she could have gotten into trouble more than the idol.
You’re 23. You’re an aspiring writer and the blog you write about gender, sex, and welfare from your roach-infested bedroom is nominated for a major prize. You get to go to a fancy ceremony. Your parents are proud. You put on your best shirt and try to look comfortable. All the other nominees are older, and most of them are men, and as you are stashing fancy food in your rucksack to take home and share, one of them comes over and whispers gleefully in your ear: How does it feel to be a hate figure?
You should have taken it as a warning. This is about the time when the death threats start.
It's not just the judge.what the actual fuck is wrong with that judge... I have no words.
An Anchorage grand jury indicted Justin Schneider, 34, on four felony charges including kidnapping and assault, and one misdemeanor count of Harassment I--offensive contact with fluids -- for the August 2017 incident.And he won't even have to be registered as a sex offender.
They do not consider strangling a woman until she loses consciousness, dropping one's pants and masturbating over her unconscious body and spraying her with one's semen to be sexual assault or even sexual violence.An Anchorage grand jury indicted Justin Schneider, 34, on four felony charges including kidnapping and assault, and one misdemeanor count of Harassment I--offensive contact with fluids -- for the August 2017 incident.

Apparently under Alaskan state law, Schneider’s actions didn’t rise to the level of a sexual assault, and he wasn’t even charged. You would think that a linkage would be made between his act to incapacitate and his act of sexual gratification, but since he did not engage in what Alaska considers sexual contact, the actions were legally viewed separately.

They probably dropped the the lesser two of harassment and offensive contact with fluids in exchange for a guilty plea on the assault. The kidnaping charge might have been hard to prove due to the fact that she agreed to go with him to the location of the assault. If Schneider had simply grabbed a breast or buttock during the assault, he could’ve been charged with second degree sexual assault and faced an additional 5-10 year sentence.I just want to know how the prosecutor felt it was acceptable to accept a plea down from four, given the crimes committed...
Unless the guy was under the influence of some potent psychoactive substance, I find it hard to believe he wouldn’t be prone to re offend in the future. There seems to be some missing or loose screws in that head of his.Grannik said he agreed to the plea deal based on Schneider's enrollment and progress in a treatment program, and an expert's assessment that the risk of him re-offending is low.
He misled her.The kidnaping charge might have been hard to prove due to the fact that she agreed to go with him to the location of the assault.
Well, we do not know if he did or did not. She was unconscious during a portion of the whole ordeal.If Schneider had simply grabbed a breast or buttock during the assault, he could’ve been charged with second degree sexual assault and faced an additional 5-10 year sentence.
It wasn't just that.What struck me about Schneider's behavior, other than the obvious, was the way he just walked away from the incident as if the two had just finished a consensual rape fantasy session.
It’s not about what his actual intentions were, it’s about what they could prove they were. Since he actually went to a location to pick up some items from another vehicle, he could argue that his decision to attack her was made at that location.He misled her.
Would she have gone there with him if he had not misled her?
It also shows premeditation. He didn't just pull over on the side of the road they were on to do it. He specifically told her he had to stop there for something, he then lured her out of the car and then attacked her. She consented to going there to pick up something. She did not consent to what he did to her.
Again, they could only charge him with what the witness could recollect. If there was another witness or security video to document the attack maybe such contact could have been shown, but there wasn’t.Well, we do not know if he did or did not. She was unconscious during a portion of the whole ordeal.
He tackled her to the ground, I am assuming lay or sat on top of her to allow him to strangle her, because she reported he was too heavy to push away or stop. To suggest he did not come into contact with her breasts or genitals during that phase of the assault seems silly.
While the attack occurred in daylight, the actual site of the attack may have been secluded enough to avoid witnesses. But the way he left the scene, it didn't seem he was too concerned about the act being reported to police. Really odd.It wasn't just that.
It was the fact that he felt comfortable and confident enough to do this in broad daylight. Then zipped up and went to work, as though nothing had happened.
He may very well have had some practice with this behavior. Maybe he was inspired by this particular genre of porn.And then the really disturbing aspect of this..
He knew when to stop strangling her so that she just lost consciousness, with his bare hands.
And this is where my eyebrows went up of their own accord. Strangulation is a very common form of domestic violence. And it is a very effective form of abuse and violence, and often accompanies sexual violence, because of its effectiveness in controlling the victim through absolute fear of their lives.. And his goal was for her to believe that he was going to kill her. That is what got him off.
Maybe the wife was a willing participant in his fetish as well.My bet is that he does this to his wife as well.. Because there is no way that was his first time.
