[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Hysterical” poster here.[b] I shouldn’t be surprised that grown men (I presume)[/b] try to bury the obvious sadism and trauma of this case in legalese because they think Don Draper is just so cool and “the courts took care of it”. All successful male predators have their cultural and institutional enablers (male and female)…and they always use the same tactics of contextualizing away the harsh reality and calling their critics crazy.

Sure, context matters. But only so much. War crimes are still crimes even if everybody else is doing it. Rapist priests are still guilty if they were victims themselves. All deserve due process and to have their own side heard. But to actual defend and look up to someone you know committed a series of violent acts with the level of personal anger described? Who expresses no remorse?

I hope that with Harvey Weinstein, Woody Allen, Cosby, Batali, etc., this pattern is shifting. These men ruin lives and get to go on and have amazing careers because it’s more important to you to *under* react and stay calm, cool and collected like your on screen idols.

Callous here - I am a 50 year old woman and the mother of two daughters.

Sorry, but a lot of this sort of thing went on in fraternities and those you are accusing are probably the dad's of your kids' friends, your lawyer, your doctor, your dentist, etc. I certainly hope the culture and fraternity culture has changed or is changing, but if you think Hamm is some kind of psychopath for a fraternity hazing incident where the details about it were presented by a lawyer for a plaintiff in a civil case then you are hopelessly naive.[/quote]
