So wrong

Hmmmm...what's up with Italy? Thanks for posting this, A.

This is so wrong. A guy forced his step daughter to perform oral sex on him and received a lighter sentence than normal simply because she wasn't a virgin. He argued that her previous experience should be considered. Wwwwhhhaaaa? Since when is virginity a factor in determining the sentence for a pervert in a sexual abuse case?

And equally disturbing:
"In recent years [the Italian supreme court] has ruled that 'an isolated and impulsive' pat on a woman's buttocks at work did not constitute sexual harassment, and returned a verdict that a woman could not have been raped because she was wearing skin-tight jeans."

Right. I know that every time I wear skin-tight jeans, I'm just asking for it. And why should I mind if a co-worker pats my ass?

That would be me in a parallel universe. In this universe, here and now, I'll wear what I please and I'll promptly kick a guy in the balls if he grabs my ass. Sho' 'nuff. Let's hope that Italy gets its act together and stops taking the women's movement back to the dark ages.
