In response to "Feminism, Rape and Unpretty Data"

No! You think Girl_In_Red is a Hit_&_Run?

Me, too. Can't imagine what kind of jollies a poster can get from such a post, I'd at least reply and make it worth my while.

[Horatio Gates]

no one believed me

You might be believed if you would have just posted this "rant" to the phantom article you refer to.

Oh, but that would be too easy and would make way too much sense!

I wouldn't want to be standing outside in that storm! Might that be Tucson AZ?

I wouldn't want to be standing outside in that storm!

lol - when I saw this image I thought I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that city........I can just image how that must hove sounded!!

We get some really awesome thunder storms here in Texas (especially in the spring) and sometimes my windows and the dishes in my cupboards actually rattle around from the concussion of the thunder clap! The close by strikes are deafening!

Still, I enjoy the storms ~ as long as tornadoes aren't funneling down out of em!! After seeing the vast and total devastation in the Oklahoma City area first hand a few years back I have to admit my fear of tornadoes runs pretty deep.

I don't know where this particular photo was taken - a friend emailed it to me quite awhile back. I wish I knew though - I'd like to know if the photo is actual (with all of those simultaneous strikes) or if it is a composite of some sort.

Were you referring to one of these threads ?

Rape Treatment Guidelines Assailed (Dilemma Alert)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1315543/posts

Also there is also a little something called "Date Rape." A woman drinks way too much and it doesn't matter if the man is also intoxicated. If they end up sleeping together, it is rape.
Crap.

If she doesn't say no and is not forced or surreptitiously drugged it's not rape.

You cheapen the horror of real rape by allowing irresponsible people to claim ex post facto rape after they change their minds later.

February 3, 2005 -- Kobe Bryant's accuser unexpectedly showed up at yesterday's pretrial hearing in her sex-assault civil suit, wearing a wedding ring, with a nervous husband at her side — and a baby on the way.

The bimbo, her druggie husband and their soon to be born crack baby continue their quest for the gold. This makes me want to puke.

Wow! This is how callous it can actually get I guess. I am vicious when I attack the Democrats on FR. But this is a different situation. This is a human being who at the very least MAY have been raped (I believe personally that she was). You guys are joking about her, posting things like "pearl necklace, calling me ignorant, etc. The only point of contention you have is statements made by the defense attorney. Before you callously attack the girl, why don't we see if what they are saying is true?

Welcome to FreeRepublic.com.

[RushCrush]

Since when does being a victim make you a knowitall?

[Conspiracy Guy]

Link to story in question?

[PilloryHillary]

I am sorry that you were raped and I CAN sympathize....but what article are you referring to? Be more specific, please. Oh, and welcome to Free Republic.......I think.

[Fintan]

I forgot what I was gonna say.

 

[SlowBoat407]

I don't see any record of the article on FR. (search is your friend). It may have been pulled, or you may have the wrong site.

I'll have my kitty check it out, too.

[RushCrush]

ROTFLMAO!

I need you to doctor up one of my kitty's photos. Perhaps with a pancake!

[PilloryHillary]

What....no responses to anyone? Cat got your tongue?

[Slings and Arrows]

Hi, troll.

Bye, troll.

[Conspiracy Guy]

MeekOneGOP is the resident Pancake King. Meek!

[Dashing Dasher]

The misspellings always give them away.

Are there no spell check buttons in Trollsville?

[Kate of Spice Island]

I know such rape is common and I'm sorry it happened with you.

What would you tell women to help keep them from being targets? Also, what would you want men to do?

I was sexually abused by my daughter's dad...three guesses as to how I got pregnant. I was very terrified of him.

Before moving back to the same city where he lives (and where the rest of my family is) I plan on buying a rifle. I am not scared of larger weapons, but it may look strange if I try buying the weapon of choice (M-16) so a rifle will have to do. Maybe that will give him the hint as to what might happen if he tries to come near me again.

[Hi Heels]

Do you know how to use a weapon? If not, the NRA has classes. Better if you know how to use it. Less chance of not using it properly and having it used on YOU.

[LongElegantLegs]

I'm pretty sure the article she is refering to is here.

However, Girl in Red, if you wanted people to take you seriously and understand what you were talking about, you should have posted this as a reply to the original article.
