Because for far too long, they were denied their basic rights as human beings, they were confined to the kitchen, kept barefoot and pregnant by men folk who refused to understand that they were human and that they deserved respect, Graps, exactly as you are doing. You are the age old "male chauvinist pig" masquerading as a "sensitive, new age guy". Deep down you just like to keep women as a possession as our "Mens' Rights Activist" keeps displaying. You don't really care about women, except how they keep house and you satisfied.

If that isn't the impression you want to purvey, then rethink what you are typing. It is old hat and it is pointless. Women today generally are much better equipped than they were 20 or 60 years ago. Today, women are much more willing to report sexual assaults to Police and good on them. So they should.
Quote:I'd say that they put up with wrongful behaviour because they feel shame... not fear...
They are afraid of the consequences of reporting such a matter - both personally and socially. Shame that personally they will be thought of as "loose". Shame socially that they will be thought of as "easy". Both by the Police and society. Which is why the Police generally have women handle womens' business like Rape. Because big, bluff, blokes like you refuse to understand the sensitive nature of such matters. Tsk, tsk.
Quote:Where were this lady's family when she spoke to them about it?
TF is wrong with some of you people in this day and age? I know we live in a society where people have been cowed for forty odd years of political correctness and socialist control over your thoughts etc via a climate of fear for speaking out or saying anything that might offend some asshole who thoroughly deserves it ... but what parent would just let that slide?
Nothing to do with "Political Correctness" as you misuse the term. It is all about society which despite claiming otherwise, who judge women for what they don't do and what they do, do.
By all means read what this fool and fraud BullshitRoose has written above but then I urge you to listen to the brief talk by this woman and real academic Janice Fiamengo, called "The Big Lie of Feminism - TFF Episode 107". It really is a powerful talk mainly because its been thoroughly researched and put together and she knows and understands her subject and is genuine. Not like BullshitRoose whose intellect is woeful in comparison, who gets all his information from the popular culture and Tracy Spicer and couldn't care less about the truth of what he speaks just as long as it allows him to project his fake "Progressive" virtuous image.
