This is outrageous!
Feb. 26th, 2008 11:55 amHigh Court upholds Katsav sex crimes plea bargain
( Body of the Text for the Linkphobic )
I really have no idea what to say about it.
I'm so angry I don't know what to do with myself other than to say that this is so wrong, unjust and so full of shit the brown is oozing out of this whole situation.
I'm loathe to use this word for fear that it will insult other men, but this man got away with it. Really he did.
He's not going to jail, he didn't "commit" rape, the major "alleged" sexual assault crimes were dropped and all he's left with is a sexual harassment charge and a "non-violent" assault.
Did I mention that there is no fucking justice in this world?
I heard, at the time when this was all over the News, that he was being slandered and he even accused the media of persecuting him and mentioned the word "Lynch".
I think of "A" who had her identity revealed at some point (which goes against the victim anonymity law) and how she was called a whore and a prostitute and how she brought it on herself and all the regular victim-blaming spiel and thought "is no one going to say anything about abuse of power and position".
Because this is exactly what it is - say, he really didn't (though I sincerely doubt it) rape those women - someone came forward and accused this man of forcing himself on her, with the expectation of compliance.
Yes, in the eyes and minds of these men in high position it is expected of women to comply to their whims and wishes, after all, almost all the women they are surrounded with around the office are there to serve them.
How dare those women not be available sexually, that unthinkable that they not want to submit to my power and dominance. How dare those women complain, they should be greatful I find them attractive and want to sleep with them.
This is, quite obviously, said with great scorn, sarcasm and anger.
