Attorney Cathy McCulloch had a client who was accused of eight counts of raping his own daughter over a six year period. The man adamantly denied that he had ever laid a hand on his daughter, but the girl gave a very "compelling interview" to police and shared explicit details of the crime.
Her client mentioned that his daughter's favorite book was Fifty Shades of Grey, and it appeared that she may have been using material from the book to give her testimony.
After picking up a copy of the book, the team found 17 different examples pointing to the racy novel as material for the girl's accusations against her father.
After just seven minutes, she broke down and admitted she had made up the accusations to teach her "strict" father a lesson. After the prosecutor re-examined the girl a second time, the father was granted an immediate acquittal.
I’ve heard a few of those horror stories. Very sad.
Sounds like the family needs one of His Arrogance’s beer summits!
” There’s also the decent guy syndrome, who sees the players picking up woman after woman with the worst lines ever...”
Pethaps Bernie was right?

I think there’s some truth to that, but I’m sure most women would deny it.
It usually takes a while to get their motor going, but when it’s nice and hot they can be as “filthy dirty” as any man.
I think they like “safe danger”.
After working in the system I seen those that were later exonerated they still had to fight to clear themselves in their own home towns.
- Dave Barry’s review of 50 shades of grey... (very funny)

I was going to post that if no one else did. I haven’t read the book, but I suspect Dave Barry did a great job.
Whether some of them do or not, I would not address it in public. I think it labels all women somewhat as fair game. “Well, they wanted it. They liked it. They enjoyed it.”
I’m not going anywhere near that. I don’t believe it is true for most women.
Bernie should know better.
I’m not buying into the safe danger theory either. Maybe you’ll get others to agree.
I’ve had two wives and a daughter I loved very much. I know that neither of them wanted to be taken by force, or the safe danger concept.
If some guy had address these concepts to me in conjunction with them, I don’t anything would have offended me more.
I too have a wife, two daughters and two granddaughters... And I don’t want to go there anymore than you do.
But when you think how many women go for the bad boy types even the abusive types, the irresponsible types, the ones that proudly carry signs that say “better a rapist than a racist” or dress like sluts, it makes you wonder as you search for objective explanations. Obviously just as not all man are sex fiends, neither are all women sluts, and I may be guilty of making it bigger than it is. I certainly hope so.

I think that too many of us think that the women out in the social settings, bars, dance halls, and such are the vast majority of women.
I’m not sure that is true. Some women like to socialize like that and many others prefer to socialize in small groups at their homes or at a restaurant, the movies and such.
So yes, you can find women like you address, but even then I’m not sure they want things you attribute to them. Yes women dress enticingly, but they don’t want nor should they be subject to physical abuse based on that.
If a woman is stark naked for some reason, that doesn’t give guys license. Well in one way it does, the guy should find some way to cover her, comfort her, and help her.
I’ve been in bars and dance places, and guys in there grab ass, and boobs. “Well, they’re here, so they know what their bargaining for!” That’s not true at all.
Guys can go out and not be abused. Women should be able to also.
A parent in that situation would be scarred for life. I would cut all ties for everyone’s own good.
I think women should take into account men’s nature - for their own protection.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to dangle a hunk of red meat in front of a lion and expect the lion to ignore it just because you want him to, and claim that you should have the “right” to dangle red meat anywhere you want.
That’s insisting on being stupid - and feminists have convinced a lot of women that they can act stupid and suffer no consequences. Reality says otherwise.
What is the Chewbacca Defense?
Hillary was smart to have removed “you have the right to be believed” from her website.
The child should be prosecuted for filing false charge as serious as this and give her the maximum jail time since it was her own father she did this to. 20 years would be a good start.
Dave Berry’s review is better written than the book but only slightly more amusing. Granted the book wasn’t intentionally amusing.
Sadly it’s not the worst written book to ever be a success or made into a (bad) movie. Yes the movie is even worse than the book, and while this is common, I didn’t really think they could manage it in this case. Hollywood always manages to lower the bar somehow.
Also of note, the series eventually has the attractive billionaire give up his life of debauched BDSM themed exploits for the love of a good woman, which explains why the later books were not so popular.
I have two. And each time...when they were born it was...instant love.
It would be a very hard thing indeed for me to abandon one of them for ANY reason. Very hard.
See what I mean? There is something wondrous about this strong, instant bonding that many parents feel. It is a two sided coin of great value. If the child has a sense of charity and respect, they won’t take undue advantage of that love. Your children are fortunate you are their parent.
“It would be a very hard thing indeed for me to abandon one of them for ANY reason. Very hard. “
It would be very hard and depend on the age,of course,but I could tell an 18 year old child to find other living quarters if that child’s conduct was totally disruptive to the rest of the family——and other measures didn’t work.
I would give him/her a hand to get started,if that would be best for all concerned.
