have a hard time with it. Ok, punishment. but this “looking over her shoulder” stuff is CRAP. He date raped her. He never stalked her again, he apologized in a letter and she said aha! I’ve got him. Now I see her point, yet .... I don’t know. I just think she’s had her say and now should stay out of it. Is that horrible of me????

So in your opinion it is alright to rape someone if you only do it once and then appologize? I bet there are a ton of women out there who don't agree with that thinking. She had her say and she should stay out of it? She no longer counts as a victim and shouldn't worry about this guy taking revenge on her? I would say you are not horrible, just being a basic liberal in your thinking.

Neither his words or the facts support your "accusation." This guy came forward, was charged, convicted, served time. Your outrage is contrived, and therefore very...liberal.

"I bet there are a ton of women out there who don't agree with that thinking. She had her say and she should stay out of it? She no longer counts as a victim and shouldn't worry about this guy taking revenge on her?

It really doesn't matter how many women or people agree, or not...she got her justice, and punishing him more isn't a moral imperative, however much you or she would like to frame it as such. While I wouldn't say she's no longer a victim, I think it's a fair question whether she's worn the cloak of victimhood long enough.

This is America, and she can say what she wants...it's a question of whether it's appropriate. And as far as revenge...she's gotten her justice, he's paid his debt. He's been living clean for 20 years, and this only became an issue because he came forward, and confessed to something she wasn't really even sure happened. While there's some change of revenge seeking, I'd say it's so minimal as to be irrelevant.

I would say you are not horrible, just being a basic liberal in your thinking...

I think your display of hysterical hyperbole makes you less than a credible accuser.

I might be. I don’t want to be. It just seems that she’s being overly involved in this process and i think it should be unemotional.
I know that my response is not popular. I might even change my mind, I’m not even positive of my stance myself.
Thanks for your answer.
