Who is this PC nut?

[Juan Medén]

That’s the real point here. I don’t care how strong or weak the rape case is, when a judge starts controlling the vocabulary of the witnesses it is pretty evident that he is trying to control the outcome of the case. It’s like banning the words, “kill,” “murder,” “weapon” at a murder trial. It just doesn’t make sense. That is not a judge’s prerogative. Does he think the jury is incapable of detecting bs?

Its a state law, and has little to do with being PC. Rape is a legal term, as is sexual assault. As a witness she is not qualified to render that decision, that what the jury is for. It would be like Darth Vader becoming his own light saber. Its a color word, a buzz word. Ive asked three women that I know who have been raped and they said it wasn’t rape, just naivety and/or stupidity with a helping of entitlement and ‘poor me’ thrown in.
