No, but she certainly acted as though he was.She never said he was “the bad guy” or even “a bad guy”.
What a weird comparison. The guy didn't jump on her or do, well, anything at all. He's also not an unknown -- she said herself she's known him for years. I don't know any spiders personally, but if a spider I did know hopped onto my arm (say, a friend's tarantula or something), no, I wouldn't immediately assume it intended me harm and squish it or brush it away.How do you feel when a spider jumps on you? It might be poisonous and it might not. So do you just let it run over you or are you inclined to get it away from you?
Feminist tripe. No, women are not often raped. Perhaps that was just a poor choice of words but it's a subtle detail that deserves calling out. Rape is exceedingly rare in first-world nations. Look it up.That’s just how it is. Women are often raped by somebody they thought was a decent man. Look it up, most rapes aren’t a stranger in an alley in a balaclava. It’s a “friend”, a co-worker, a client, etc.
As far as most rapes being perpetrated by someone the victim knows, it's true in the general sense but not for the reason you're implying -- that even well-behaved men are secretly rapists waiting to spring the trap at the first opportunity -- it's more because rape is rarely a "crime of opportunity" unless the rapist knows the victim. People rarely willingly put themselves in positions of any kind of vulnerability around strangers, whereas they let their guard down (at least a little) around people they're familiar with.
Plenty of opposite-sex friends, coworkers and clients successfully co-exist in shared spaces (public and private) without raping each other. It's absurd to teach women (or anyone for that matter) that every person they ever meet, work with, befriend or date is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
lol well at least you admit you're putting men "on trial." Most of the time it takes a lot longer to squeeze that nugget out of "allies."Exhibit A for the prosecution.
