What a load of bollocks.
I'm sick of this crap being thrown onto men. For all those who aren't sure what I'm talking about, check out the following link to an AdelaideNow story:
http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/full-court-of-the-high-court-rules-elderly-man-must-face-trial-for-rape-in-marriage-allegations-dating-back-to-1963/story-e6frea83-1226373677500
Pretty much, this poor bloke is accused of raping his wife back in 1963. His lawyers have tried to have the case heard as what the law would have been in this era - and failed. The Full Court of the High Court has ruled that he must face trial.
My question is .. why does it take 50 years for this woman to make this sort of allegation? If it's so important to her, why wasn't the allegation made 20 or 30 (or more) years ago?
I think some people (male or female) can move on from relationships that didn't work out, but others like to keep being a victim, so they have something to fall back on as an excuse because their life hasn't turned out as they wanted..
I'm sick to death of opening the paper or reading online of another bloke that's been accused of rape or sexual assault and they suddenly find they have to defend themselves against serious baseless accusations (usually by bimbo's who go out and get drunk, have sex with a bloke, then wake up next day, and think "God, how will I explain this to my friends .. I didn't even find him cute - ahh ... I know, I'll accuse him of assault or rape .. that way, I won't be seen as a loose bimbo".
Of course, once the lie starts, then you have to continue with it because if you own up to the lie, all shit hits the fan.
But, it's difficult for a bloke to report his wife/girlfriend for assault or rape. He faces ridicule by his mates, work colleagues, and possibly other people with whom he works ... "You mean.. she wanted SEX, AND you turned it down?
Why is the instance of men making complaints MUCH MUCH less than women? Who knows?
I personally think that a number of women have no problem with what happens in their relationship/marriage to a guy. However, with their future partner, the following may be a prelude to accusations:
Woman: "Oh, there were times, I didn't want sex, but I did it to please him"
New Hubby: "Thats ridiculous, he should have respected you"
Woman: "It's OK, I suppose it's expected"
New Hubby: "No it's not expected, that is tantamount to rape .. I think you should take action against him"
Woman: "No, its OK, It wasn't that bad"
New Hubby: "Look love, you have to be strong... you should report it to the police"
OK for a woman to complain, but for blokes, it's seen as 'unmanly' or 'girly', however, it is still a serious assault, and the bloke should make a complaint to police against the woman.
Well, I say to the blokes, if you've been assaulted by a woman, and you were too sleepy, drunk or dozy to have sex, but were forced into the act, you have a legitimate reason to complain to police.
And to the women's groups that will complain, please bear in mind, not all assaults are committed by men. Those assaults are hidden by the embarrassment of a guy complaining, but at the end of the day, that embarrassment should not cloud the seriousness of the crime.

The defendant in this case has been reported as dying. Sorry if it offends anyone, but as far as I'm concerned.. too bad for the plaintiff. If she had had the "balls" to come forward a lot earlier, she may have seen this go to court. Her pissy lawyer said she might be "able to deal with it a bit better" knowing at least it had got to the court stage. She obviously wasn't too worried about it over the past 50 or so years to report it!!
You see, the real problem is that no-one wants to take responsibility for their problems and actions anymore. You can report sex offences 50 years after they happen and the court and police will suck up to you. Too bad. If you don't have the gumption to report it from the start, or at least from a reasonable time afterwards, tough luck, you lose for being an irresponsible. I'm sick of blokes taking the rap for stuff when it seems perfectly OK for women to force their husbands to have sex when the guy doesn't want to... society (and women) seem to deem that OK.. what bullshit!!!

Why is it that women can get away with assault when they want sex and their partner (unwillingly) obliges? But men are deemed bastards and criminals if they want sex and their partner unwillingly obliges?

Of course, what the woman will (conveniently) forget is to look at is the times she "unfairly" coerced her husband into having sex with her when he didn't want it.

PGA v The Queen 30th May 2012 HCA
ReplyDeletethere must be a story behind this story. We know PGA had the money to go to the High Court, but what has inspired his ex wife to persue this action after all this time? Jealousy of a good second marriage for instance? And why have the police spent tax payer's money? There is indeed a question of inconsistency and Public Interest there!
my guess is that this is a whistle blower reprisal
