Yeah, because nobody has ever been raped with anything but a cock or bunch thereof.
You clearly don’t know any 14 year old kids. If 14 year old kids are taking clothes off of some other kid, whether male, female, alien, whatever, than it is sexual. And that means it’s sexual assault.
Do you really think 14 year old kids don’t know that removing clothes = sexual? You’re dreaming.
Yeah, it was bullying and humiliation. It was also sexual assault.
Are you serious?
A girl piled on by three guys and forcibly stripped against her will would be deemed a slut by other kids?
Tweens can be little shits but not seeing how that works.
Unfortunately yes. Tweens (and teens) aren’t known for their logical prowess. I know of a girl who was systematically raped by a family member who was beaten up by girls her own age (17, at the time) for being a slut.
As a heart attack.
Unfortunately, I have no doubt that this is exactly what would happen.
If you mean you don’t understand why children would behave that way then neither do I, but that’s the way it is. Young girls don’t live in the delightful rainbow and gumdrop world you imagine.
Maybe not an actual penis, but there are plenty of other objects the 14 year olds could have shoved into his anus, so penetration was a possibility.
By some other kids, definitely.
The fact that the girls videotaped it and put it online makes it sexual assault, whether they were planning that or not. They need to learn, if they don’t already know, just how dangerous it is to put stuff like that out there.
If you asked the girls whether a video of them naked on the 'net would be seen by a whole crapload of rather twisted folk, I don’t see how they could say ‘no’. The whole point of the video WAS for others to see, and thanks to them, now this kid is wank-fodder for who-only-knows.
Ask them if the punishment should fit the crime; they, too, could be famous! They could have their own Facebook page: “Watch young teenagers get beaten and stripped!”
But yeah, I think sexual assault could easily be argued, if not child porn. If sexting/disseminating photos without approval can be considered illegal underaged, then this certainly could be.
Not saying the girls thought about all of that, but FFS they should have.
OH god, YES! Kirk Cameron as Jean Beljean! CURTAIN UP!
And women can’t rape men, either.
Where are double standards when you need them–meaning why don’t we wink at female teachers seducing male students?
Just because men are evil rapists and murderers doesn’t excuse these girls. To their credit, they did stop. But anyone would be terrified in that situation since these girls seemed to have missed out on the whole empathy and impulse control part of middle school. They could have easily stomped on his testicles until they popped like grapes. The idea that a woman would be vulnerable in a different way with her pants off is baseless, aside from the whole potential pregnancy thing.
If it’s sexual assault, it’s sexual assault because of what happened during the actual attack, not because of what happened after. Not how anyone else treats the kid, not because there’s a videotape, not because of what they do with the tape. If they hadn’t taped it, and if nobody else knew about it, it would still be sexual assault, so long as tackling and stripping somebody is sexual assault.
Just for my own sake at this point - what’s bad about this situation is that he got attacked, not what other people might think or do about the fact that he got attacked, including hypothetical internet masturbators. The degree to which different victims might or might not get shamed, or the different ways people might treat one victim vs. another are all real things, but they’re incidental to the actual crime. It’s probably a boring thing to keep repeating - certainly more boring than putting together a bar graph of who is most afraid of cocks - but we’re talking about double standards. I don’t think it matters, in terms of the severity of the crime, whether a girl might have to deal something that a boy wouldn’t, or vice versa. Kids of one gender who get assaulted wouldn’t have to deal with the fact that their attack gets treated differently if we actually stopped treating kids who get assaulted differently because of their gender. It’s tautological to say there’s a qualitative difference between the crimes because of self-imposed differences in treatment.
He can’t. He’s got to enlighten us all. :rolleyes:
Seriously Dio, we don’t know each other as I don’t post often…but you really should shut the fuck up on this one.
You, nor anybody else, gets to determine what type of emotional damage this boy will receive from this incident. It’s the same reason that sexual harrassment is defined by the victim in a workplace environment. I’m not drawing a solid line between this and sexual harrassment, I’m just saying that it’s up to the kid to decide if he’s gonna let people know whether this fucked with his sexuality, or if it was just regular bullying. And he probably won’t be able to do that for a few years at least, until he understands how he feels about it.
Some folks on here say they understand the mother not pressing charges. By her interview she comes across as a complete disgrace.
“Oh I don’t want to ruin the lives of the girls. I want their parents to deal with it.”
Give me a friggin break. She cares more about the offenders than her own son.
The girls should be charged with:
A. Sexual assault on a child.
B. The production of child pornography and the intent to distribute.
Nothing will be done to those three animals. They will brag about their conquest in school and all their classmates and the female teacher will have a good laugh. You won’t find any leader of the feminist movement acknowledging the horrors of this action. No, they are way too occupied with getting men fired for calling a woman a babe. These girls are not a aberration. And, this offense is not unique. These three pieces of filth should be arrested and tried in public. If that boy grows up hates women he would be perfectly justified in his belief.
Zombie thread but does anyone know if anything happened to those girls or if they did in fact just get away with it.
I’m not sure, but I think we’ve just identified someone else who was pantsed by chicks when he was a kid.
Renzi obviously has some issues with women and may be one of those “men’s rights” idiots, but this sort of victim-shaming is EXACTLY the sort of cretinous horseshit the OP was talking about. You’re a moron.
Victim shaming? I’m making fun of a histrionic zipperhead. It’s not my fault neither of you have a sense of humor. Or scale. Feminists are too busy having men fired for calling them ‘babe?’ Why don’t you and Renzi toddle off to your He-Man Zombie Woman Hater’s Club and see if you can’t generate a little perspective between your two beanie little heads.
Oh wow, I’m most definitely not a woman hater but I’d totally join, as long as it was free, came with a tee shirt, and I never had to go to meetings or do anything to help their cause.
But holy cow, what an awesome tee shirt that club would have!
