First...thank you to all that have responded to my earlier post. I felt like I should thank you all individually, but I'd just be saying the same thing over and over so I decided to get it all done in one fell swoop. =)
I am glad that there are others out there that will support me, believe me, and not say that there's nothing wrong with what I feel has been done. I thank you all more than you'll ever know.
Tegan Tells her Rapists: Go To Hell.I felt like this would be a good thing to post here. Hopefully it won't bother anyone. I'm glad she stood up and said "You know, this isn't my fault!". She's awesome.
Accused molester claims boy, 12, began sexual contact.Winter claimed that after two to three minutes the boy turned and placed his hand on Winter's groin. Winter said he moved the boy's hand away, saying: "I will have to think about all this."And just WHAT is there to think about with this?
You just don't do it! No thinking required!
He was trying to stare me down, intimidate me, and I stood up to him, looked him in the eye and told him there was nothing he could do to frighten me, and that he only showed his own weakness by needing to scare someone to feel important. He stammered and eventually walked away with his head hung low - I'd deflated his ego in front of all his coworkers without having to take any cheap shots. It was excellent.
And I always get infuriated with the "seductive child" alibi. It's such bullsh!t, you know? You can say no to a child! It's easy! They understand! yes... I'm sure that it exists somewhere that a child will spontaneously become interested in someone else's genitalia - but 99% of cases it's because a child was already abused and thinks that's what they need to do to be loved, etc. It's so easy for an adult to just say no! gah! ::rants and swears a lot:: There's nothing for him to think about aside from planning his defense, really. bastard.
And, GOOD FOR YOU for doing what you did. That took some guts, too. I know it helped for you to do that, get a little of your own back.
Yes, I was pretty pissed when I read that article and got to that part. Like a 12 year old is capable of knowing that they want to seduce someone? Like they're able? That's just jacked up. The fact he had to think about it was just....ugh.
*hugs*
Yup. It's not difficult. I've done it; when a 17-year-old boy kissed me at a New Year's Party (and quite well, I might add) and wanted the evening to continue, I told him to look me up once he was 18 (age of consent in Florida).
On the other hand, why the HELL are they only identifying the men by thier initials? I want full names, addresses, pictures, and every other piece of identifying information on them to be available publicly.
