Subject: RE: BS: Irish Rugby players rape case
"However, rightly or wrongly, they were found INNOCENT in law. "
I'm not arguing that Rag - I am suggesting that the law regarding rape has long been proven inadequate to protect women - the number of convictions and the fact that the vast majority of rape cases have shown that.
It was the man's public behaviour that is now being questioned - not the verdict
Simple thing you might be able to help me on
Paddy Jackson described the young woman as "a slag"
Can you think of a male equivalent to that term that doesn't express admiration?
"snail - slut, slag, whore, cert, ride, public bicycle, easy lay...... I can think of dozens of female versions - can't for the life of me think of one male version
Maybe it's to early on a Sunday morning yet
