LaFave Case Double Standard Gets MSM Time
Submitted by anthony on Sun, 2006-09-17 08:45
I hope to see more articles about this obvious double standard. Watching The Today Show interview, I noticed the rapist (divorced by her husband) has seemingly kept the house with an impressive swimming pool. Can her ex-husband petition the court to force this rapist to take back her maiden name?

So? Everyone already knows this double standard exists
Pointing out the obvious may get people to pay attention to the story but some one has to stand up and say that the double standard is wrong rather then merely acknowledge it exists.
We need to achieve balance in this area. We need to put protections in place that keep men from being falsely accused, and we need to create real consiquenses for females who abuse people sexually.
While we are at it we need to get back to a point where sex crimes actually have a defenition. It has to no longer be whatever the "victim" says it is. That leads to miscarrages of justice.
This is going to be the hardest area of the law to change becuae it is so ingrained in our entire culture tha women cannot abuse some one in any way let alone sexually.
So we need to be prepaired to fight damn hard to get the changes tha must come for men to finally be equal in this area of the law
No Remorse of Course
The most disturbing part of this is how she openly denies any responsibility; moreover, places the blame on her victim and tries to come across as the victim herself. Imagine the outrage if an adult male maintained this “in-your-face” stance after having raped a 14 year-old girl! Contemporary society largely values good looks (especially when it comes to females) over good hearts and this is really the core of the problem! And boy does she know it! Here’s what the victim’s mother has to say about this arrogant piece of shit:

The live poll is astonishing
How can 1/3 of the people voting think that the punishment she recived (3 years house arrest, 7 years probation, listing on the sex offender registry) is a fitting punishment for the crime?

A Great Example of Wielding "Victim Power"
The LaFave case should be studied closely by all MRAs, because it's a textbook example of successfully using "victim power" that combines the legal punch of radical feminism with the naive social codes of male chivalry.
As the dismal comic Jay Leno joked -- "Where were teachers like this when I was in school?" (laugh track volume up, right?)
The basis of the joke is the still-dominant belief that a young man who is sexually abused by a women has actually been treated to a special macho right-of-passage... "scoring with the hot teacher."
There's also a strange double-standard at the level of sexual biology, because by and large we believe that to be raped means to be penetrated by the male organ, rather than to be aggressively engulfed by the female one.
Funny, I though the feminists had successfully argued that rape is not about sex per se, but is actually a crime of POWER AND DOMINATION.
But then, we also know it's logically impossible for a female to oppress a male, even if she uses her vagina as an assault weapon.
Does anyone know if LaFave's sentence included a prohibition against profiting from her crime?
One would assume, based on her paid interviews-to-date, that she will have a book deal and a TV movie before Christmas comes around.
Have you noticed that in all her photos LaFave has eyes just like the vampire chick who stars in "Underworld?" Only LaFave doesn't require special effects contact lenses to get the Vampira look down pat.
BTW, was she sentenced to any psycho-dynamic re-education as would be mandated for any man convicted of a simple DV misdemeanor?
Female child rapist superstar!
Just fucking sick, really it is a great example of how messed gender double standards are. Why, why, don’t lawyers ever cite these cases when defending men WHY?????
Not that even an attractive man would become famous for raping children, but if he did, society would no doubt be sickened, networks sued and every feminist inclined media figure would be condemning the whole affair till 2046.
Why isn't it obvious to the world this is WRONG no matter the gender…..i know why, but those reasons just makes me more sick.
sickening.
RE: A Great Example...
Yes, she is forbidden from profiting from her crime. Though I do not know if that means for the next 10 years while she is on probation or forever.
That just mean that her mom will sell the rights or something so that she profits indirectly (not that she hasn't already profited). Or she will land a new modeling contract (as repulsive as that thought is) as a result of her infamy.
As far as psycho-dynamic testing is concerned I cannot find mention of such a condition anywhere so I will assume she is not subject to that kind of condition.
I would guess that there simply is not programs or diagnostic techniques (phallometric testing requres the subject have a phallus) designed for female sex criminals. Though it would be nice if he had to get some of the blame and shame "treatment" males are subjected to.
But I guess punishing women in the same fashion as we punish men will never happen. In Canada famale prisoners are not required to even wear prison blues or oranges. They get to wear their own chlothes. Male prisoners get to wear their own clothes in prison in Canada once per year as a Christmas presant. So even when the girls get jail time, it's not the same treatment behind bars. Everything needs to change.
