Witch hunt? Weinstein is a creep that deserved this. This is obviously crap. I wouldn't call one person rightfully being exposed as a predator, and one old guy wrongfully being accused a witch hunt. Although I could very well be out of the loop on something.
Bring him to justice? A 90+ year old man for touching her ass? Are you kidding? He shouldn't have done it but what real harm befell this woman as a result? Does she have PTSD or something? Seriously get real. She needs to toughen up just a little.
I think part of my problem is a definition of sexual assault that includes touching an ass. On the spectrum of bad things this ranks very, very low. It kind of delegitimizes horrific things that are firmly in the realm of sexual assault.
Touching someone's ass, even on purpose, is not rape. For a crime to be committed you need the mental capacity to know what you're doing is wrong. This is why, for example, we don't throw 5 year old kids to jail if they touch an adult's ass.
Yes, if the mentally handicapped person has the mental capacity of a toddler, then no, he/she wouldn't be punished, for the same reason a toddler wouldn't be punished.

This type of thing is really going to drive men to not want anything to do with women. This is a very toxic environment.

Not my post. But if manning up is good enough for men, why not for women?

A rapist with dementia wouldn't go to jail either.

They'd get treatment, or if they're a child, nothing would happen. Context is important. Google mens rea.

If she's being "sexually assaulted" in the provided photograph, why is she smiling?

"And any woman, ANY woman, is now suddenly more powerful and wields more power than even an ex president of the United States."
This is the most frightening part. Absolute power and control over any man they choose to bring down. Any man.

So editorializing is fine, just we have to check with you first to make sure it doesn't make the sub look bad? Did I get that right, Mein Führer?
