[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The outrage over this verdict is mystifying. They finally get it right and you mad?[/quote] People don't actually want rape to be punished. They want to act like they think it's a terrible, horrible, no good very bad thing, but they also want to equivocate that each rape is a snowflake and the special circumstances (a/k/a whether that particular girl really deserves compassion) must be examined closely. In the end, very few rapes should actually be punished in this metric: usually those committed by homeless or crazy people, by brown people against white people, or that also included a murder. The others usually get "well, at least it wasn't [XYZ]" treatment from people who insist they hate rape and rapists. Margaret Atwood nailed this dichotomy in the Handmaid's Tale - gin up outrage but don't actually punish the rapists, use it to target undesirables you wanted to get rid of anyway and call yourself a champion of women.[/quote]
