(68,868 posts)Very cute how you consciously chose to erase the humanity of the alleged victims from the story.
As human beings, they do not count to you.
So much so that you deny that they are even relevant to their own accusations of rape. it's Julian Assange's world, and those female creatures are just planets orbiting his sun.
Again, this is why you would be really, really awful in a rape trial--you'd be a ringer for the defense on the jury. You don't even acknowledge that the alleged victims exist, let alone that they matter and deserve respect.
Accused rapists are human beings, but you really ought to acknowledge that people who claim to have been sexually assaulted are human beings who matter too. It would be a start anyways.
But, I don't expect that from you. That's not how you roll.
It should really disturb you that it never even occurs to you that the women might not be evil scheming lying Mata Haris.
You just assumed that, without knowing anything about them.
So, again, in conclusion, please avoid serving on any juries where rape and believing a rape victim is an issue, because you're a ringer for any accused rapist in the defendant's chair.
