There is a lot that we can say about rape, but there is one thing it will never be is funny. Women throughout history have been treated as 2nd class citizens with rape being used as a method of abuse, control, belittling women. Women have fought for a long time for rape to be taken seriously. Finally we move to the point where rape is taken seriously.
But what is that worth when the guilt or innocence of a person is determined, not by the courts, but by the court of public opinion. Apparently for a few the issue of rape, and other crimes is determined by the celebrity status of the accused rather than the courts. So they devalue women and condone rape.
Sickening.
