Saudi Arabian rape victim sentenced to 200 lashes

You know, I have a theory. Namely, that all the old men in power in such places are sexually-frustrated impotents, suffering from vagina dentata. Hence, they hate when women speak out or act as if they're better.

And so far, they aren't doing terribly much to make me think otherwise.

Wait, the old men have vagina dentata?

This story is so fucked up. She gets punished for being raped? Even if it was her fault, punishing her for experiencing such a traumatic and painful experience is fucking absurd.

Ugh. It was supposed to read "sufferring from the fear of the vagina dentata"

But I think the meaning was clear

A rape conviction carries the death penalty in Saudi Arabia, but the court did not impose it due to the "lack of witnesses" and the "absence of confessions," the justice ministry said on Tuesday.

Sucks for the victim that the word of woman has no value (it was worth half or even less than that of man in islamic law)

And offcourse the rapists themselves aren't going to witness against themselves

[Zablorg]

Gah, I missed out the words "complaining about". It is meant to read "complaining about being raped"


But you're right, it does seem as if those old hemaphridites have some serious issues. They probably all got rejected by their childhood sweethearts, and have developed a complete loathing of the female populous ever since.

"QUIET THE FUCK DOWN WOMAN! WE DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR HUMAN RIGHTS PROBLEMS!"

They don't give them all at once. They'll whip the victim twenty-five days a day every other day for two or three weeks, for example.

How progressive.

But remember, Iran is the real threat to human rights! Pay no attention to the Saudi woman being beheaded behind the curtain!

Yes! How dare we accuse the nice progressive Iranians of human rights abuses!

Oh, wait, they do that too.

If you wanna derail a thread with a red herring, you might want to do your homework first.

Have a very nice day.

What a fucking imbecile. Where the fuck did anyone even vaguely imply that Iran is not guilty of human-rights abuses, moron? The point is that the neo-cons hop up and down in righteous outrage over human-rights abuses in certain countries, but not others (such as Saudi Arabia).
