"My husband was sexually assaulted on a plane" - airline staff and police does not treat alleged sexual assault seriously • /r/legaladvice

Rude awakening for a feminist. Someone should tell her that the reason her husband's complaints weren't taken seriously is in no small part due to feminist narratives about rape/sexual assault and their exclusion of men.

Sue the airline. These are people who pretend that having an adult male merely sitting next to a child is a danger of sexual assault and here they insisted on a sexual assault victim being sat right next to the person who assaulted them. There was an obvious and easy solution -- just move someone to a different seat.

Doesn't seem like /r/legaladvice is giving much legal advice.

I'm tired of these motherfucking rapes on this motherfucking plane.

I don't know what the police can do more in this case.

personally if i woke up to that i would knock the guy out and rely on the "He said he said".

because if you make that claim he sexually assaulted you and then through their investigation they find the guy is gay or has a previous record, it pretty much seals the deal that there is merit to your claim. (also there it reasonable considering there was no heated argument before etc)

i.e the police cannot prosecute you for assault because there is reasonable doubt.

in simple terms "when in doubt use it to your advantage and take the law into your own hands"

Why did the author need to make known she was a feminist?

oh come on. If we tried to report every single grope in history, we'd never get anything done, legal or work related.
