[QUOTE="GlobalMan, post: 977812, member: 9728"] I don't think insisting "rape" victims go the police to pursue justice and being dissatisfied at the (very poor) outcome of a trial is trying to "have it both ways". They are not contradictory. Going to the police is the right thing to do and is a [i]minimum[/i] requirement if a "victim" is to be taken seriously at all. No more, no less. Doing so, however, and achieving a conviction of the male does not mean that the story she told and the slant given to it is any more credible necessarily. Nor does it mean that there can be no complaints about the outcome simply because she went through the legal process and not just trial by twitter post. Injustice is injustice no matter through which process it was achieved. [/QUOTE]
