Know what’s funny? 50 Shades of Grey has been culturally accepted and embraced worldwide, and it is a book/movie that eroticizes the ramification of a pedophile woman abusing a young boy. The focus is not on the pedophile act, but just stop to think about it for a second: Would it be accepted with men around the world jerking off to a story about a woman who was turned into a nymphomaniac because she was constantly raped as a child?
You don’t even have to mirror the story. You could use even more gruesome antecedents as examples; the principle is that eroticizing the tragic consequences of a trauma is ****ing rotten, and people would have acknowledged this if the victim were a female.
Don’t forget the candle light vigil for the poor strong woman who was so brutally treated by her evil and manipulative man. She was confused and also unstable emotionally and had an eating disorder too! Meanwhile the man who ran her over is in prison getting death threats from other men who get off on violence. Posts bail? Gets more threats from dudes waiting for him outside his home to beat him up.
They could have charged her with something like attempted murder, but they played it down because of her courage. I doubt she was really drunk. If they had charged her with a more serious crime, it would discourage women from standing up to these kind of men. No doubt, he would have kept this behavior up if this so called INTOXICATED woman did not confront him and take him to the streets.
It’s only courageous because you agree with the punishment. If she had done the same thing because she found a suspicious text from another woman on his phone, I doubt you think she was courageous.
But regardless, she was intoxicated and probably in a fit of rage. Even if the end result was justified, there is no doubt that she wasn’t fit to make such a determination. She definitely committed several crimes.
In no way am I defending what the guy did, but is it actually death penalty worthy? Because that’s what she was trying to do. Had she actually succeeded, does that mean every person who’s a child molester should die?
I want to lol at that, but this kid was 12. Welp, I am writing a story about bliblical Mary, who probably wasn’t too far from that age when she had Jesus.
To answer your question (and you’ll probably call bullshit on me), yes I’d want him alive. Other than self-defense, I don’t want to be the one to judge who lives or dies. But asking the victims what should be the just punishment isn’t the proper thing to do. Death penalties and obscene fines would skyrocket.
She was courageous because she stood up to a criminal, which is the same reason they were lenient with the charges against her. Receiving a text from another woman would not make him a criminal, therefore, running him over would not be acceptable or courageous. That would be like calling the woman in China who cut off a man’s penis twice courageous for the text she found. Like I said, they played down the charges hard because she stood up to this man. What kind of message would we send to people challenging these villains if the woman got charged with something hefty?
So if a woman catches her boyfriend doing something illegal, she should try to kill him with a car? So if he was embezzling money, or selling narcotics, and she tried to kill him, it would be courageous? I doubt it. But if you do believe that, then you are a very irrational person, and just another example of why vigilantism isn’t true justice.
Also, I’d like to point out the hypocrisy here. There are laws against trying to kill people with a vehicle, and against drinking and driving. The women herself is a criminal because of what she did.
You sure seem to be setting up a lot of special rules and exceptions to rationalize your opinion. Maybe you should stop and try to figure out why that is?
