Blue Velvet said:I think it's called rape...
apple2991 said:Right, and my question is how is this any different? Does a man attacking/violating a woman's sexual organs against her will differ at all from a woman doing the same to a man? Do you think the legal punishment would have been more severe, were the roles reversed? How did her being a woman factored into the entire situation?
Point officially missed.
Blue Velvet said:Not at all.
I'm in no way condoning what she did, I've never said it was different or that any allowances should be made for her because she's a woman... Frankly, I don't know what the hell you're talking about. If anyone's missing anything, it's you and that poor chap in the story.
Calm down...

p.s.. why the hell would she stick a bloody ball in her mouth after ripping it off, and her friend who handed it back.. who would want to touch that?

I'm missing your point as well - how would a man have done something similar to a woman? It isn't possible to remove a woman's ovary with your bare hands while allowing her to survive.apple2991 said:I'm calm, and, officially, point still missed. How did you manage to take my question or idle wonderings which, if asked to anyone, were quite obviously to the entire board and not you, specifically, and turn them into me questioning something you never said? At no point did I quote you or claim that you were even remotely justifying that woman's behavior at all--in fact, I never said anything about you.
I was just proposing the idea/wondering what might have been the legal repercussions and/or reactions of people on MacRumors had the situation been gender-reversed. Sentencing more harsh or less? Things of this nature.

It's not any different in my eyes...if you're psycho enough to attack someone in ANY physical fashion for not wanting sex with you, jail time is in order.apple2991 said:Right, and my question is how is this any different?
