Punishing Males for Thoughts?

In the first case, if the man was arrested for expressing a fantasy about having child sex slaves, that would be a violation of freedom of thought and speech. But he was arrested for possessing child pornography. The chat he had about his fantasy is evidence of his character, proving both motive and malice.

The government claimed the evidence was relevant because the defendant's defense was that a disgruntled ex-girlfriend planted the child porn on his computer, and the "sex colony" writings, though not the subject of the criminal charges, are relevant because they illustrate the man's mindset. "This defendant wants nothing more than to terrorize children," a government lawyer said.

If a woman was charged with purjury for making a false testimony in a rape case, I bet you would all find it highly relevant if she had a chat on her computer said she wanted "all innocent men behind bars."

The poor boy was trying to express himself in a nonviolent matter and got punished for it.

1984 and Brave New World are here.

A thought crime is now a reality - if you are male.

Nice to see the downvoters explaining their disagreement.
