    I have two questions.

    If a female wear a thong, is she consent to sex?

    In the event that you are sincerely asking this question, I genuinely hope you never happen to be alone with a woman in any way shape or form, forever.

    Should I take offence to you only quoting part of my post?

    What the fxck are you on about? I'm questioning why would someone think if the female is wearing a thong that it is ok to rape them?

    You want to hold back on your personal analysis.

    All they need to do is read back through their own posts and see the hypocrisy I'm talking about.

    Amazing when one question the role of the thong in the rape case that some say I shouldn't be alone with a female.

    This has become a really ugly thread..

    Liberals always seem to get so personal when faced with alternative opinions.

    As do conservatives. So it's not personal when someone says 'you must be great craic on a night out'?

    I dont usually stoop to the level of Matt Coopers Journalism but last night I had to make an exception.

    A high court judge appeared and he made a relevant point and I'm paraphrasing here.

    If a man is charged with the crime of rape, and is acquitted, formally, its as though no crime has been committed. (certainly not been proven)

    If you extend that logic one step further, if you accept that no crime has been committed (or proven) how can there be a victim?

    If there is no conviction there is no victim as such. If there is a conviction then justice has been served.

    Victim blaming is an utter nonsense. In the eyes of the law you are either guilty or not guilty and the courts verdict stands.

    If the case had been poorly handled they'd have a point but then it wouldn't be victim blaming. It would be pointing out incompetence or negligence. But they didnt actually discuss the case on its merits. She waved a pair of knickers in the air and we all have to jump to attention.

    The system isnt easy for anyone but youd never hear Ruth Coppinger acknowledge the fact that a man has been found not guilty of rape according to the law.

    Recently we had a proposal that we have female only applications for third level professor jobs.

    Where was Ruthie when this happened?
