By two different men that night.

is profoundly horrifying.

Nothing under life in prison would be appropriate.

What is really amazing is they caught both guys.

So glad they're going to jail. Such scum.

There are so many awful, violent males out there. Something is wrong with a significant percentage of men.

Rapists need to be castrated.
I know, they will probably delete this for being too violent, but I believe it might work. At least they couldn’t do it again.

Blow these fuckers brains out before they get a chance.

I don't have daughters. I know if I did I would have been a tough first-meeting-Dad with her date. But I really think that rape, under any circumstances, is a crime at least equal to murder, and I wish it were possible for American law to permit the victim or her father -- or any appropriate surrogate (an uncle, a family friend, a boyfriend) -- to determine the method of execution.

Father/uncle/boyfriend, not mother or sister…?

It seems to be a rhyme of ‘honor killing’ thinking, that it’s the job of the men to protect the honir of the female relatives.

Just an honest laying out of my feelings, my perspective. I did not -- read it again and you'll see -- say that "only men" should be involved in determining the punishment of rapists.

Yet, 'spite of that fact, I stand accused of . . .what? Misogyny, certainly. But also, curiously, radical-muslim misogyny. (It is not completely beside the point to mention that under the rules of honor killing, at least as I've read in the Western media, it is very likely that, in a case such as this, the family would have murdered the girl, regardless whether her rapists were caught.)

What I'm saying is that you are wrong and have simply -- and prejudicially -- attacked my comment for something that is nowhere apparent in it.

How patriarchal and fucked up is that world view?! Women are not possessions of men!

Also, there are plenty of single women and lesbians who get raped, as well as daughters of absent and abusive fathers, etc. who often get raped by the very same males or other male family members.

The world view you depict in your screed is not my world view. I have been in this often ugly world for enough years to know exactly the hatefulness, the filthy ignorance of that world view. It is the world view of everything that any decent person despises. It is not my world view.

If you knew anything at all about me, you would never have drawn such a disgusting inference from my comment. If you were in a rational frame of mind, you would not have made such a grossly wrong inference.

Simply pit, what I said was an accurate description of my personal feelings regarding the violent double rape of a young woman (rape is violent by its very nature). It was not in any way intended to be a universal statement. It was about my feelings, my reaction to this horrible crime.

And I offer no apology for it.

The one on their big head, or their little head?
I would think that blowing their balls off would do the trick.
