This is the exact same shit we bitched about a few months ago. I understand this is /r/mensrights, but this shit isn't right regardless of gender.

I think it's fine to post this, as it bears on a previous posting regarding David Eckert (HuffPo), and thus means that we need to recognise that that previous posting wasn't a gendered thing. And you're right. It's not acceptable.

Having said that, the reaction in the comments is most certainly gendered. Oh my goodness. If you look at the HuffPo one I linked, the joint top comment has a joke "Did they at least let him know that his prostate was healthy?" The other joint top comment says "I agree that this was forcible sodomy and I hope he gets a huge settlement. So tired of police abuse." The tone is rather mannered, I'd say.

If you look, however, at the one linked here, the top comment is this:

they should all be accused of what they did - rape. they raped this woman. every single person involved in the procedures should be charged accordingly.

Other comments are similarly outraged. It doesn't mean a lot because they're different websites, and may have very different readership (although I wouldn't say HuffPo's is known for not being outrage-junkies). It will be interesting to see if this gets to the HuffPo, because then a direct comparison will be possible. The cases are pretty close to each other in terms of the detail.

Yeah, it isn't right. But it has nothing to do with men's rights.
