Darren Sharper admitted to having "non-consensual sex" with a woman. Really?

[redqueen]

I'm watching the goals from the Arsenal game this morning, and I'm so fortunate to see those words, again, on the news crawl under the game.

What is so hard to understand? There is no such thing as "non-consensual sex", it's rape. Rape culture is why so many "journalists" and others insist on euphemizing rape.

Oh, and the reason this piece of shit is in the news having his actions whitewashed again is because judge Renee Korn might have to let him out of jail, because holding him there is so "unfair".

No, I'm not exaggerating:

1. Even if

they voluntarily drink the booze and take the drugs, that doesn't automatically equal consent to sex. And last I checked "non consensual sex" equals rape. Period!

[cui bono]

2. In fact, it makes the person unable to give consent.

Welcome to DU.

3. Thank you for the welcome...

I've been here two years and this was my first welcome. I mostly read and don't post. The only other acknowledgement of my new-ness was when I was accused of being a previously banned person because I replied to someone posting a picture of a pizza saying "I love pizza." Apparently it's not a good thing to say even though it is my favorite food.

5. welcome

from a long time lurker, low poster.

In case you are mot aware on DU2, when a troll was banned. a tombstone appeared under their name. A pizza is posted accusing a poster of being a troll. Apparently it is ok for some members to accuse others of being trolls, but not others.

4. So then, Darren Sharper admitted he is a rapist.

6. Suspected of nine rapes in five states

But it's "grotesquely unfair" for his ass to sit in jail?

Oh... I forgot... he's a football player.

8. I had found an essay somewhere

On the word rape, and how often it's used out of context. How minimizes the word, lessens it's meaning, it's impact. You see it in literature quite often " they raped the Vast forest for profit" and the like.

So here we have someone who simply erases it. Plays with the word "consent" to make his crime look less.


We have here , at best, someone skilled in manipulation, my guess is a sociopath. And they will let him out. We know this.
