What motivates the outrage over Julian Assange's Political Asylum?

17. They are WRONG because the women themselves don't call it rape, nor want charges.

This is slut shaming of the most misogynistic sort since its a transparent power play in order to shut down Wikileaks. "Sweden" is wrong to push a case in defiance of the two women who do NOT want a part of this, its a classic paternalistic state telling the women they don't understand their own sex lives so big daddy's gonna step in and work it for them! What the fuck?

It demeans and belittles every other rape case where the women are screaming for justice and can't get it. Rape kits sitting for years if not decades unprocessed. Sweden has the worst rape prosecution stats in Europe but decides to go full bore on this one - the one where the women say it isn't rape, nor did they want charges.

Have you sat in on a rape trial where the women are willing to testify? Its humiliating - strokes, penis size, vaginal lubrication, positions, licking, spitting, how many times anal, what kind of sex toys.... Now you want these two women to have to testify in public about their private sex lives despite their express desire NOT to?

Its a sick voyeuristic's dream of a public shaming and nobody on DU should be a party to forcing, yes FORCING, these women into this very public rape for a disgusting international power play REALLY designed to shut down Wikileaks.
