Reading news articles like this one, make me absolutely sick to me stomach.
And then I find this one. Then this one.
But, if reading them was not enough, I then go on to think that these are simply the tip of the iceberg. These convictions are just five or so percent of rapes going on in this country.
And, on top of all that injustice, we are told it is our fault. We deserve it. Wear a short skirt, have a little drink, walk to the cornershop alone, flirt with men, enjoy sex… and – quite frankly ladies! – you are asking for it!
A young girl even said to the me the other day that she didn’t ‘realise’ it was still rape if a husband forces his wife to have sex.
I would like to know how this is the 21st Century.

How disgusting. I wish I could say I can’t believe someone only got a 9 year sentence for raping a dying child, bit I can believe it, and that says a lot in itself.

I’m so shocked- that rapist should be locked up for life. What sort of a sick fucker does that? And how on earth will he ever be harmless to women?

Fucking hell…what’s the betting the arsehole has a huge amount of fucked up porn on his PC? Ditto what Andrea said. And they’re only monitoring hime for three years? Cos he’ll somehow miraculously be safe after that.

I think this shows how much the legal system values female lives.

but the kid was dying, couldn’t be scarred too badly right?
When will (men) learn that these fuckers don’t change.
