    Not even close to a valid statement or comparison....I've said all those fuckers were evil...and I never said any of this shit was normal....I said I'd love to have had this happen with Sophia Loren....and that's the truth when I was 17....you aren't going to make me the scapegoat in this thread dude as much as you're trying....some pretty blanket assumptions on your part...I have empathy ...I don't promote or normalize abuse and actually resent the implication. I can however under this story question the circumstances. Not my problem.

    The kid claims trauma from Asia. Asia can claim trauma from Weinstein.

    The kid can't rape someone and blame it on Argento as his defense.

    That is the definition of normalization.

    oh, then I will rephrase it. You can get zero for your law advice. The only thing worse than no advice is bad advice.

    I know I said I was done but I lied......don't look know but you contradicted yourself.

    In post # 44 I said;
    ...."Asia Argento attorneys could probably argue that the root of the reason that prompted her to have sex with a 17 year old was that she was permanently "scarred and twisted" from being abused herself by,.........wait for it..........wait for it...............Harvey freaking Weinstein."

    You replied:
    "Any reasonable lawyer would make that argument inadmissible. It would give her carte blanche to do whatever the fuck she wants if she can always blame it on Harvey.

    I then asked you on what grounds would a lawyer make that "inadmissible"?... and asked you to cite a legal precedent... but you could/would not.

    In lieu of actually providing proof or citing a precedent, you instead replied;
    "It happens all the time. Not relevant to the facts of the case, being that she had sex with a minor. Harvey Weinstein's existence has no bearing on this at all."





    ...Now you claim; '"Asia can claim trauma from Weinstein."

    ...like I said, you're simply trolling at this point and are talking out of your ass.

    No contradiction at all. He said in all those posts that though conceivably both the kid and Argento can claim trauma, they can't use it as any kind of legal defense for subsequent bad acts. To wit:

    Completely consistent.

    The attitude that the kid was lucky to have sex with a moviestar when he was 17 is exactly the reason why male rape victims aren't taken seriously, and why female teachers who rape students aren't punished as severely as male teachers.

    If it was a 17 year old girl and a 37 year old man, there wouldn't be anyone saying "well when I was 17 I would have been thrilled to sleep with a 37 year old movie star." People would be disgusted and they would demand blood.

    Rape is rape. There can't be a middle ground. If there's a 17 year old kid who sleeps with a 37 year old, that's statutory rape. Doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl. Whether or not we would have jumped on that scenario when we were 17 is irrelevant. It's against the law, and there simply cannot be a double standard on how we interpret the law.

    And the heart of the issue is the perception by society that women can't be rapists, or abusers.

    It's not unheard of for victims of sexual assault to sexually assault others.

    If the statute of limitations hasn't expired she should be prosecuted.

    ...no, that in itself is a contradiction, and you need to keep in mind that if there IS a trial it would be ...........................in California.

    ...perhaps, but she lives in Rome...and besides, it's obvious that the kid is looking for money, not a trial.

    Even worse, this seemed pre-meditated.

    ...isn't it also possible that BOTH of them had agreed to this soiree beforehand?
