Wow I’m disappointed by the online reaction to a 19-year-old man who went to police after enduring what he says is a sexual assault by 4 women.
Just when you think society might have evolved past knuckle-dragging cretins, out they come, suggesting the guy is weak or lying or any number of derogatory things. I personally know two men who endured repeated assaults by their wives and were too embarrassed to go to police. So the abuse continued for far too long. Doesn’t that sound like something too many women have gone through? The dinosaurs who joke about this guy or disbelieve him should be ashamed.
I listen to a lot of comedy. I’m what you might call a nut. And I’m pretty forgiving and as you may know, I don’t think that being offended automatically means I’m right. But there’s one comic in particular who literally just lobs out racial stereotypes and gets away with it because it’s in a comedy club. Lisa Lampanelli. On Celebrity Apprentice (the only so-called reality show we watch anymore) she was just awful, lashing out at people and horribly unfair and petty. You know the type of person who walks around the world assuming everyone’s putting her down even when they’re not? That’s Lampanelli. Listen to her at your own risk.
British physicist Peter Higgs would like everyone to stop calling the Higgs boson particle, “the God particle”. I’m afraid I’m guilty of doing just that as are most other media professionals. Higgs boson was theorized in 1964 and confirmed last month. It explains why sub-atomic particles have mass. The God particle nickname came about from two book authors in 1993 who wanted to call it the “goddamn particle” but their publisher wouldn’t let them. Higgs is opposed to the name because a) he’s an athiest an b) science has nothing to do with faith. I will honour his request from now on even though it will be a little trickier to explain Higgs boson. But, hey, that’s what writing is all about.
I am one of the people who have disappointed you (like that’s anything new!) Lol! The reason people are joking about this `sex assault victim’ is because he’s a guy. The majority of the people who think it’s funny are guys. That’s because as guys we know that it’s pretty much impossible for 4 fat women to get or keep us aroused so that any sex act can even take place, unless of course multiple pudgy partners happens to be our thing. Which in my case, it’s not. (shudder). More than once I’ve been a `victim’ of unwanted, overly aggressive advances from women in the past (very distant past) and at worst it’s a bit embarrassing but it’s always a great story to tell the boys! But not the police.
Well this sounds like it was more than just unwanted advances from pudgy women, Mr. Sensitivity. He says he was held against his will and perhaps unspeakable things were done to him. He is 19. Perhaps his body betrayed him.
Well, if his body betrayed him he got a free ride halfway home and a helluva story for his friends but he didn’t get sexually assaulted.
