There were these two blokes talking about their "women" trouble. Apparently the first guys (we'll call him Sam) girl friend (will call her Jill) broke up with him and wont answer his calls. He apparently has been calling multiple times a day and can't understand why she would give him her cell phone number if she wasn't going to answer. After his repeated attempts Jill's mom called him and "beat him up", yes those were his exact words, by saying that he should stop calling. His mate (we'll call him Brad) then started going off about how Mom's and Mother in Laws always get in the way of your relationship with their girls and they need to be told to back off. Sam then stated how Jill was just confused and didn't know what she wanted and he was getting confused and that he and his cousin were going to go and talk to Jill's mom and tell her to back off. Brad then agreed and went off more about how you (as the man) need to gang up on (bring friends with you, other family members, ect.) the mother in laws because they are just too overprotective. I know that this was just one conversation, and that they were not necessarily well educated people, and you can make all the excuses you want, but the truth is that I've heard more conversations like that then I would like to admit. I watched a girl go into labor on the train pleading to the baby "just wait till 6:00 then daddy will be out of jail".
A week after the Rugby case, nothing was stated about it in the news. They also tried to quickly coverup that the coach of the same team punched a girl, but you know he is a good guy. This week there hasn't been anything said about that. The Chasers, a fake news comedy group, kinda made fun of it, but not very effectively and only for 30 seconds or so. One of my friends thinks that this has been good because people have now talked about it (homosexual and women's issues) more then they ever have in the past. He also mentioned repeatedly that in order for the sex acts to not have been consensual the women would have had to say no and even though she was too traumatized or only agreed to have sex with one, but them more kept coming, the fact that she didn't verbalize no according to those who were there, then the sex acts were consensual. My question then is if the rapist never hears you say no, you are deaf and can't say no, they inhibit you from saying no, they drug you so you don't know what is going on and can't say no, you are too drunk to be able to say no, this means that you have consented to having sex with whom ever walks by. Women of Australia need to speak up, and until they do, men will think this is okay.
