Nearly as stupid as suggesting that she would be happy for it to be made into a movie. If this happened to your mother or sister you would be singing a very different tune.

If you were one of the victims of Sinaga the Manchester rapist would you seek justice, I mean you were just passed out when you were anally raped so not traumatised just woke disorientated in a kindly mans flat feeling sore. So em just asking an innocent question here you understand but if you didn’t experience psychological problems after what’s the harm right? https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/01/06/world/europe/reynhard-sinaga-rape.amp.html

You’re not defending “real victims” CQD, and I’m disappointed to see you express this view.

KiKi III wrote: » I am not a fan of the term “rape culture” - I don’t think it’s generally a helpful way of describing how rape is understood in society. But when a man has admitted to rape in detail in an email to his victim and then pleaded guilty in court to the same crime, but men here are still somehow trying to claim he’s probably isn’t, I can’t think of a better term to describe it.

Punching someone once and punching someone 10 times are both assault even if one is more serious than the other. And raping someone as they sleep and raping someone violently in an alley are both rape even if one is more serious than the other. Attitudes like yours are the reason marital rape wasn’t even considered a crime until a few decades ago.

Funny that considering some of the posters on here were all over Making a Murderer and how Brendan Dassey's confession shouldn't be taken as an admission of guilt. But that's beside the point. How can someone be so traumatised by something they slept through.

retro:electro wrote: » Brendan Dassey was an intellectually stunted teenager who was coerced into making a statement without a lawyer. This guy, as far as I’m aware, is firing on all cylinders and admitted to rape in an email of his own free will. He also pleaded guilty. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to force but it’s a weak one. Why are you tying yourself in knots trying to defend someone who didn’t even defend themselves? Kind of sick.

cloudatlas wrote: » Both cases involve people who had no knowledge of the rape until they were told by police/ by the boyfriend so they didn’t suffer trauma until they were told and that negates the crime. Did she strike you as performative? Maybe he just wanted attention, to be highly regarded as a rapist in both Ireland and his native country? We have learned in previous threads that victims want attention, they want people to imagine them being raped by a stranger and to go through a lengthy intrusive trial where they are asked about their sex life for the attention so that could equally be extended to a rapist who wants attention and accolades for the rape, to be caught willingly and reap the obvious benefits of the high profile celebrity that will bring.
