Julian Assange: Innocent until proven guilty and all but it reeaaaally doesn’t help your case when you make statements like the ones above.
The only people who object to:
“his restricting her freedom of movement. The violence consisted in a firm hold of the injured party’s arms and a forceful spreading of her legs whilst lying on top of her and with his body weight preventing her from moving or shifting.”
“Assange deliberately consummated sexual intercourse with her by improperly exploiting that she, due to sleep, was in a helpless state.”
“Assange, who was aware that it was the expressed wish of the injured party and a prerequisite of sexual intercourse that a condom be used, still consummated unprotected sexual intercourse with her. The sexual act was designed to violate the injured party’s sexual integrity.”
are “radical feminists”? Really?
Is it that hard for some men to appreciate what bodily integrity means, what violation of boundaries means? Women are verbally and physically harassed ad infinitum it seems but groping only becomes a highlighted issue when men have to experience unwanted physical handling – Gate Rape anyone?
Until charges are made and a trial is had everything is “he said/she said” at the moment, but to put myself in the position of one of the women in question you’d better believe I would feel violated and am pleased to see that Sweden is enlightened, not radical.
