Let your daughter accuse someone of sexual assault and see how many of these questions you ask.
Men have been sexually assaulting women forever and a day and getting away with it time and time again.
Still today.
In 2019.
Rape 6 months, rape 3 months, rape community service.
And on another note, if it was a black athlete instead of white a$$ Luke, you would be saying he should be banned from the sport.
Kudos, fellas, you managed two kill two major civil rights issues with one white male stone.
Idiotic.
I went to Beale in my early 20's. Drank too much and was leaving the street with a buddy. Some dude came up to us and asked if we wanted to go to an after hours house party. We said sure and followed him.
He said it would cost some $$ to get in and I pulled a $50 out of my wallet to show him I had money. He jumped me, punched me and tried to take my $50.
He didn't but I had a nice shiner and some sweet scrapes on my legs from where they met the pavement during the tussle.
The next day I was at work (waiting tables in shorts) and had the bruised face and scabbed up legs. EVERY person who asked me what happened, and after I told the story, responded with some version of "What the f$ck were you thinking."
You would seem to call that "victim shaming" as "no one should be attacked just for wanting to have fun."
Bottom line is everyone is responsible to a degree for what happens to them. It doesn't mean that person "deserves" what they got (I didn't "deserve" getting jumped) but people don't need a pass for putting themselves in crappy positions.
It doesn't negate the culpability of the offender, I just hate seeing the terrible takes like you do about how one should talk to their daughters.
If I have a girl, I sure as hell will tell her about how HER bad decisions can lead to horrible consequences--especially if she's in the company of unscrupulous boys/men.
It's not fair but life isn't fair. We can talk all we want about "boys changing" but this is real life and that ain't happenin' captain.
Coward's response.
I would have taken my $50 back, black eye or no.
I have also learned that cavemen can't be told a f@%king thing, so reason won't work with you.
Maybe you and your constituents can rewrite the Constitution a few million more times.
How is any of that a "coward's response?"
Why do we have "stow it don't show it" all the time during xmas?
Should we rather have "Parent's teach you boys better" and then just leave out crap in plain view "hoping" every single person in the fuggin world has grown a moral compass?
Of course not. You put your crap in the trunk. AND if you or a family member of yours left crap out in plain sight, the first thought wouldn't be "oh, those hoodlums mom's should have taught them right" it would be "what the hell were you thinking leaving that in plain view?"
Life sucks.
Buy a helmet.
You completely dodged the how long would it take you to admit you got banged in the popper by Mike Tyson deal.
Like a coward.
I haven't seen anything on this case and am mostly referring to other incidents if that isn't obvious.
The clock is the only thing we can't stop.
Everything else is subjectively reprehensible and can be stopped, prevented, or otherwise diverted.
Boys will be boys is boys be will be boys bullsh!t.
And that's not the way it HAS to be.
You are putting the weight of the responsibility on the victim not the aggressor and the person you consider the weakest in the situation.
A woman isn't "asking for it" 24/7, jeebus.
You invite a dude up to your room.
He walks in.
You are Luke Walton.
Do you put your tongue down his throat, grab his a$$, and push your erection up against him?
FTR, if I am a female, I am not going up to Luke Walton's hotel room in any way.
However, if I do go there, and he comes at me, and I say No, No means No.
At any point.
And EVERYTHING after that is RAPE.
No matter what.
