Italian men cleared of rape charges, because their female victim was "too manly and ugly" to be raped

I refuse to believe this — Italian justice is the MODEL of objectivity and rationality.

Today on Datalounge Court!

The judge is clearly a DLer.

[quote]The judges – who were all female – drew their conclusions from a photograph of the woman and because the defendants said they were not attracted to her, with one registering the victim’s number in his mobile phone under the name “Viking”.

No one hates women more than other women. They're vile.

Was the woman wearing tight, objectifying clothing?

What the actual fuck?! That is a barbaric reason for disbelieving the victim.

Now you know why I’m sick of seeing these assholes’ shit glorified in every medium.

After the ridiculous telenovela explanation they tried to use to assign guilt to the innocent Amanda Knox, I'm no longer surprised by Italy's legal failings.

And I suppose if it were a man they would have said he was too feminine.

OP, they’re not technically “wops” if they’re Italians living in their native country of Italy!

A retrial of the case has been ordered by the appeals court. The woman is Peruvian and was shunned by the town, forcing her to move back home. Sounds like small-town racism may have played a part.

I love R10!

Italy is as backward as the Middle East when it comes to women, and their court system is a laughable corrupt joke.

This is heartbreaking and barbaric.

Just a few days late for International Women's Day.

[quote]Italy is as backward as the Middle East when it comes to women

It truly is. Not enough people realize that.

Disgusting. #BurnPatriarchy

R16 Of course, you’re right, the ENTIRE country is as barbaric as the Middle East when it comes to women. You are truly too stupid to live.

How hot are the perpetrators? Pics? Hung?

I saw the thread in the recent threads list and I am still LMAO. That's some funny shit! And it was taken seriously! Italians gotz bad business, man.

Check out Italian Parliament. Is it any wonder Julius Caesar got shanked?

Where did Italy get this reputation for being so sophisticated and civilized? It’s never really been like that.

R18= Italian

You don’t have to be Italian to see that maligning an entire COUNTRY is pretty stupid.

Italy gave us Michelangelo, pizza and Connie Francis. But on the other hand it also gave us fascism, the mafia and news such as this one. It really is a very strange place.

Any photos of the lads?

If they’re hot and hung then justice has been served.

OP is such a stupid cunt crumb that he doesn't even know how to be a bigot!

Read R10, OP, you dumb shit.

I think it was Italy that wanted to pass a law stating that a woman couldn’t be raped if she was wearing jeans.

Chook was accused of raping a Japanese tourist, which is ridiculous...Chook HATES the Japanese!

How disgusting. Rape isn't about love or romance. It's about power. Even if they weren't attracted to her, they could have raped the victim to mock her, humiliate her, degrade her, or bully her in the worst way. To let the rapists off the hook...and then insult the victim's looks at the same time? Unthinkable.

Is it really so different from letting a rapist off with a light sentence because it would ruin his life as happened to the Stanford swimmer.

#hashtags are for idiots.

#What did the patriarchy ever do for us, except all of Western civilization?

This stuff happens all over the world. The point is that Italians are protesting the ruling.

I do have to laugh at Americans of all people pointing fingers at the justice system of other countries. The US that regularly sends people to life in prison...and often wrongly...for the most minor things.

In Australia:

In Canada:

R21 What is so odd or particular to Italy in that clip? It was heated yelling. No one was touched.

Have you ever seen the rows in in the British House of Commons?

What did the patriarchy ever do for us, except all of Western civilization?

Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Mussolini and so on. Millions of people slaughtered, tortured, obliterated. Men are a zero sum game.

Women? Backward as the Middle East ? Court system a laughable corrupt joke?

Tell us what you know R13 about Sharanda Jones.

"Despite the fact that this was her first criminal offense and that prosecutors were unable to produce any physical evidence that she had possessed, bought, or sold cocaine, Jones was found guilty on one count and sentenced to mandatory life in prison without the possibility of parole."

Full details, not headlines, please.

R37, in no particular order: education, technology, transportation, sanitation, public heath, engineering, modern medicine ... everything that elevates our modern lives above the muck - all thanks to the "patriarchy".

Patriarchy is fueled by female mate selection, regardless of how outraged lesbians get about it.

Patriarchy also brought us gay bashing and child rape.

Lots of try hards here miserably failing. Italy is a misogynistic shit hole. Deal with it.

This reminds me of the judge in "What's Up, Doc?" who says to Madeline Kahn after she claims she was molested: "That's unbelievable."

“THEY DONE IT!”

More outrageous when it’s a court case but same logic as that WeHo mayor saying there’s no way he harrassed that guy based on what he looked like.

Instead of talking about the patriarchy, let us remember that it was an all-female panel of judges that made this ruling, and yet it was a court that included men that overturned the decision.

yes, Italy is corrupt as fuck. Lots of match fixing going on in soccer.

Ask any summer language camp employee who the worst clients are every year, and they will tell you it's the Italian groups. Awful people.

r47 That's the highest order of patriarchy - where even the women have internalized the misogyny. So talk of patriarchy in this case is completely relevant.

Were the guys really Italian, or were they...something else?

Police, media, etc. In many European countries are ordered not to reveal the ethnicity/origin and actually go out of their way to actively hide it with comical results such as what I read in a German newspaper: the Munich man did this and that, I don't remember the details, and later in the article it was mentioned that he needed a translator in court.

Europe has become very Orwellian and the Muslim fetishizing left is behind it.

Bump

At least it is being protested. Incredibly stupid judges. Hopefully they will be charged in the next trial.

R52 the men in question are described as "South American". They are not Italian.
