Why are you trying to twist my post into an assertion about Tweeden's authority over her body?
Because the issue is Tweeden's body. Her politics do not really have much to do with it.
That's dishonest. You do that continually. It's bad to do that. It's even a bit crazy - these are completely obvious lies, my posts are right there, what are you trying to accomplish?
Iceaura, you have determined that typing the word "it" is dishonest. So you'll excuse me if I roll my eyes some more at your claims of dishonesty.
And "everyone" is back. Hi folks! Missed you.
Aww did you?
Aren't you sweet.
That would be a consideration if you had ever managed an honest response to my posting. When my posting and your responses are right there for comparison, it's clear that you cannot be in the right - lies, slanders, and misrepresentations are never in the right. When you lump my arguments with EF's, for example, you're clearly having some kind of brain glitch.
When you argue and espouse the same ideology (sexual harassment vs politics) as EF, Capracus, Kitta, then it's pretty clear it's not a brain glitch.
There's a reason why many eyebrows are raised at some of what you have been posting, Mr "depends on the politics".
Granted that does not save me from being wrong on my own, independent of your lies, slanders, and misrepresentations - but it does improve the odds.
Aww, you think you are right.
That too, is very sweet.
The faction that called for his immediate resignation does not stipulate to that - not so but far otherwise, as they say.
Again with the faction...
What faction? Who is this faction?
Apparently the term reasonable confuses you. The theme of Franken’s prank is fairly obvious to a reasonable person. You have a busty professional erotic model who has made a career of feeding men’s erotic fantasies with her imagery. A likely common fantasy would be grasping her large breasts. Franken having the opportunity to simulate such a fantasy with the sleeping model in front of him, strikes up the pose and mugs for the camera. Just like this guy below.
You know, most people realise when they have overstepped the boundaries of "I'm sounding like a douche" and they stop. Not you though. Oh no, you don't just stride.. You run, arms spread akimbo, mouth open, tongue lolling, eyes wide open and nostrils flaring.
Living in a dense ultra-feminist fog, I imagine the humor of such imagery is lost on you, but believe it or not, many reasonable people do see it.
I'm sorry.
I don't see sexual assault as a joke or a prank.
I get it, you think it's hiiilaaariouuuss.
I don't.
I know, I know, it means that I'm in a "dense ultra-feminist fog" that I don't try and excuse sexual assault because the victim is buxom and busty and shook her tata's as a profession and well, the dude just couldn't help himself because an opportunity arose for him to put his hands on her breast and his tongue in her mouth without her consent, since ya know, she did put herself out there... But there you have it. You think a woman's body is owned by others, to be used as a prop, because hey, she shook those boobies for entertainment way back whenever. I don't.
And?
The photo shows he pranked her by simulating a boob grab. It was a prank of opportunity, he probably didn’t have a whoopee cushion at the time.
People often try to excuse sexual assault and sexual violence as a crime of opportunity. Funny that, huh? I mean here you are, using the same excuse and labeling it a prank.
The victim of the PRANK did not witness the act in her sleep. Like the rest of us she had to rely on the elements of the photo to determine nature of the act. The collective elements of the photo paint a picture of prank, not assault.
*Raise eyebrows*
Do you think it's not sexual assault if she is asleep?
The photo paints an image of a sexual assault, since ya know, she was asleep and he was grabbing her boobs. Since she is asleep, she could not consent.
I mean, you still have difficulty with this?
Or instead the act is characterized as a prank involving a simulated grab. Pranks by definition do not involve consent, and need not be considered assault.
Most pranks do not involve sexual assault.
Funnily enough, pranks that involve sexual assault tend to have women as victims. Interesting, no?
