You don't have to explain any of this to me.
I understand it doesn't have to look like physical force to be assault or rape. Save that explanation for the people that don't get it.
Getting kicked out of school is not the kind of punishment I was referring to (except when I specifically asked about getting kicked out of school). I meant real, legal system type punishment. And yes, I wanted it clarified that she got kicked out of school and didn't transfer out of embarrassment or some such thing. My premise is, people who are sexually assaulted or raped don't get kicked out of school over it. And I have a hard time believing the timeline of claims plays towards believing this girl now. She got kicked out of school but didn't claim it was rape at the time?She didn't claim it was rape when the video came out but does now.? The sexual assault case was resolved and the only punishments metted out we're the 3 of them all getting expelled from school?
Talk down to me anymore and we may have a problem. I'll admit when I'm being dense. Until then don't assume.
You were being dense or ignoring the part of the answers I gave - those are the 2 options, and you were the one who used the word "dense." I assumed it wasn't an offensive word to you. I answered your questions. Then you said I didn't. Maybe you didn't like the answers. Maybe they didn't answer the entire questions, but they did answer things you were incorrect about. I found your response to be rude, because I was merely telling you what I had learned of the situation and you came back with that, which imo is also inaccurate. You could have just said "thanks for the information." "Maybe I'm being dense but I don't see how any of those answer any of my questions. "
"I can't imagine a girl who had actually or even possibly been sexually assaulted would ever be kicked out of her school."
And why would I think I don't need to explain it to you when you say the above? What the above is saying is that you don't understand that it doesn't have to look like physical force to be assault or rape. Because people saw the video and she got kicked out of school, they must not have thought it looked like sexual assault. But that doesn't mean it wasn't.
To the bolded - they can get kicked out if people don't know it's sexual assault. Again, I think it should be obvious why I felt the need to explain to you why sexual assault doesn't always look like physical force. People viewing the video didn't think it was sexual assault, so in their mind they weren't expelling someone they thought was the victim of sexual assault. That doesn't mean she wasn't.
"The sexual assault case was resolved and the only punishments metted out we're the 3 of them all getting expelled from school?"
And again, if it was sexual assault they didn't realize it, but that doesn't mean it wasn't. Three times in this post you made statements that give me no choice but to think you don't understand that just because people viewing the video didn't think it showed assault, doesn't mean it wasn't. Just because it doesn't look like physical force, doesn't mean it's not sexual assault. In the same post you tell me I don't need to explain that to you. :dunno

You should probably elaborate on what you mean by "problem." Not really something I feel comfortable having said to me. And you're the one who said "maybe I'm being dense." This is the woodshed, in the douschebag hall of fame, and I'm using the word you said you might be. I think you're overreacting a bit. If you can't take someone calling you dense or saying you're ignoring them in this topic (when it's the word you chose as a possibility) I don't know why you're here. It's pretty mild.
