I don't feel sorry for him either; he made his own bed, blah blah blah.

That being said, it doesn't mean this was rape. And further, I believe he's entitled to know just what HER mental state was at the time of this little incident.

In the last six weeks, I have had the opportunity to see the "Domestic Violence" arm of the legal system at work up close and personal; my son's closest friend asked his wife for a divorce and she promptly called the police and told him that he had been beating her for a year. She made the statement "You will either stay married to me, or I'll put you in jail." I heard her say this; I told the magistrate what I heard; and he told me that even though he didn't believe her, it doesn't matter: once SHE makes the charge, he is REQUIRED to issue a warrant, even in the face of evidence proving she is lying.

So now he is facing a trial for domestic abuse, of which he is most certainly NOT guilty, all based on the word of a woman who has sworn to destroy him.

How is that fair? Where are HIS rights?

It's a damn cult, I tell you.

I don't think it's rape --- not when a woman does everything she can to get into some man's hotel room --- a man she never met before, and is getting into consensual sex the minute she walks in. No wining, no dining needed. She wanted sex ---- that much is obvious ---- she's maybe unhappy that it didn't lead to more or being bipolar, her perceptions of the event really did change in her mind.

I have a friend that was in a situation like that --- only he hadn't even asked for a divorce --- his wife was mentally unstable for some time and in an argument, she began beating on him --- he was scratched and bruised and bleeding, she had no marks on her, the neighbors called the police and even though they could see a petite woman suddenly claim she was being beaten --- but with no marks and a 6 foot man so they put the handcuffs on him. Luckily for him the wife quickly changed her mind within hours and went to the jail to get him out and then claimed he didn't really beat her.

You will either stay married to me, or I'll put you in jail." I heard her say this; I told the magistrate what I heard; and he told me that even though he didn't believe her, it doesn't matter: once SHE makes the charge, he is REQUIRED to issue a warrant, even in the face of evidence proving she is lying.

You didn't know this. It's amazing how many people act suprised at how the law in this country works. Mandatory sentencing, zero-tolerances, etc have removed all discretion from prosecutor's and judges. If a woman makes an abuse charge against a man NOT EVEN SHE CAN RETRACT IT. Isn't this what everybody wanted when conservatives joined forces with femenists to pass these stupid laws?

No?

Too bad.
