(1,185 posts)Since she is gay, it's kind of a "double" rape. Who believes her is irrelevant. Yet, nothing was done. She "asked for it" couldn't be denied because she would have had to own up to being gay and that was before "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
And to all to apologists on this board, and especially the women and if that makes me sexist sobeit, solve the Franklin Scandal...google it...there was all kinds of real live evidence and it got completely covered up...forever. There were massive evidence trails at the time...it was 1988...not that long ago for some of us. This is child's play, in comparison.
I don't know about Assange, and neither does anyone else on here. Two women who did not press charges and are long gone. We're discussing something that NO ONE here or likely there knows anything about.
And as to Akin, well it's pretty clear that at the very least he's a soon-to-be unemployed idiot. And for whatever it's worth, Assange is holed up and will not likely be free for most of his life.
