Besides, Elastigirl would kick his a$$ if he did anything like that.
I think the thing I am having difficulty with in this case (and I can't believe how much time I've wasted being bothered by it) is trying to separate my disgust for the media from what has become a disdain for the accusor. I don't know if this woman was raped -- and I shouldn't pretend that I do -- but I can so much more easily put myself in position of the accused lacrosse players and the talking heads have just continually pounded these guys.
One of the woman attorneys on tv last night said that something awful happened at that house because they cleared out when they heard the cops were coming, like this was some type of sign that something awful happened there. I've been at a number of parties in college where we fled because we heard the cops were coming only because people were underaged drinking. Why stay there and get caught when you can flee?
I'm also not sure that we should be plastering the alleged victim's face all over the news (which obviously they aren't) but it's pretty scary when any woman can accuse me of rape and I'll be incarcerated and paraded around as an accused rapist whether I did it or not. I can't remember something that has made me want to throw the remote control through the tv screen as much as watching some of the reporting of this case.
