Dear Rep. Sheila Butt: Elizabeth Thomas Wasn't 'Lost,' She Was Stolen

The state representative offers an example of how crappy we are to victims

Sometimes feminists use the term “rape culture” to try to distill down the way our society seems set up to give rapists as easy a time as possible, while making things as shitty as possible on victims, especially if one feels compelled to publicly accuse someone of rape.

We got to see that dynamic play out in last week’s council meeting when they praised a man accused of sexual misconduct and called his alleged victims liars, which, God, if there’s a more shameful moment in our city this year, I hope I’m unconscious and can’t witness it.

There is no legal complicity. As for what the victim wanted, or thought she wanted, seems to me that’s best left up to a shrink to sort out. I just hope the victim is getting competent psychiatric help.

The replies in this thread need to be nuked from orbit.

“I just hope the victim is getting competent psychiatric help.”

Given that modern psychiatrists think that GLBTQ and pedophilia are ‘healthy expressions of gender identity’ then I don’t have much hope that they’d actually help this girl.

What she really needs is a loving home that’s run by sensible adults.

Bet you all are just weaving the rope to hang him. GOOD! Hope they show that on live TV.

If it had been the daughter of a FReeper would been a whole other story.

As Detective Sgt Joe Friday always said “It happened to someone’s daughter”.

“Forgive me if I’m still wondering if Elizabeth Thomas was complicit in some way.”

Ha. Could be as simple as a bored teenage girl knowing that her dorky midlife crisis teacher is fantasizing about her and leveraging that into a huge adventure. And in her besotted teacher she found the perfect foil.

My neighbor was saying that years ago his then teenage daughter warned him to never give her friends a ride home without her being in the car. She told him that they were liable to claim that he had propositioned them because having an adult male hit on them enhances their social standing in high school. Maybe Elizabeth Thomas was doing something similar on a much bigger scale. Or not. Can’t say I’ve paid this story all that much attention.

I don’t know he’s charged with two counts with her being a minor

I’m not sure how kidnapping sticks given it’s pretty obvious she went voluntarily

But US attorneys love to overcharge

I don’t know if taking a minor with you without parental consent dictates kidnapping charge statute wise

I honestly don’t know but common sense observation shows she went of her own volition

Her family sit rep is very bad

I think we are seeing the fembots in the media running with women as victim as usual and kidnapping theme because it fits the narrative they promote

Like Hands Up Don’t Shoot and Religion of Peace and Gender Transitioning

It’s cuckoo land

We better wake up

I never would have thought up such a thing in high school where do these girls get such notions?

High school girls have a pretty bizarre fashion sense and you’d be amazed at what they will all do if someone convinces them it’s the popular thing to do.

When we used to say boys will be boys you can now say girls too

It’s crazy

I have three boys in this age culture

And know all their friends

Girls as young as 13 sendings nude and semi nude pics

But if the boys get caught saving the pic they get in more trouble than the girl

We’ve oversexualized girls yet found this neat way to continue to blame men whenever possible

I adore women and sexuality

No secret here

But social media and feminist notions of sameness have created a monster

You must not deal with 15 - 18 year olds much. 90% of my employees are that age. They make all kinds of decisions good and bad.

She is one of 10 kids in that family. Clearly needed a mentor.

That is pretty filthy of you to conflate fifteen year olds with eighteen year olds sexually.

I never went there.

I don't care how many people you deal with, the two are not the same and both the law and most other people make a distinction on that which you seem to be denying.

“I am always baffled by the way so many are willing to cut so much slack to females of this age but not to males in their mid-teens.”

It does seem odd. But maybe it’s where they live. In SoCal teenage girls can have the ethics of, oh, a Great White Shark. Fortunately they usually use this talent on each other and not the innocent.
