'kayso, here's the scoop: a rapist was acquitted solely because the victim was wearing skinny jeans. nope, not kidding. and this wasn't something that happened back in the 70's or something, before we all evolved socially and recognized the self-evident fact that even a woman who walks around completely naked is not necessarily 'asking for it', and has total control over where things go from that point... if anywhere. this just happened. the argument: the pants were tight enough that the rapist could only have taken them off with the victim's help. your honors, we present the following clip for your review. the victim, played by elizabeth mcgovern, is wearing a 1930's ball gown - the equivalent of a wedding dress with an undercarriage constructed out of strait jackets. difficult to remove, yes? yet robert deniro seems undeterred. and she's riding around in the back of a limo with him, after a grand night out where alcohol was probably involved, and it's obvious there's some chemistry and a bit of history there. so watch the clips - we'll wait. done? good. now: is there any doubt in your mind over whether ms. mcgovern at any time gave consent? your honors, we rest our case. |
