And it’s true that whenever a woman acts like “a bitch” it’s considered unnatural and worthy of punishment, in a way that male anger just isn’t. Look at how annoyed everyone was with Kate Gosselin. And she was nothing out of the ordinary. Or look at how Hillary was chided for having “an outburst” when she rightly told someone at a Q & A session that she, not her husband, is the Secretary of State, and what her husband thinks is irrelevant to the discussion.

I’m sure that plenty of people said that Mike Tyson deserved to be raped in jail, considering his own history with sexual assault. Which is another story, or maybe it isn’t, considering how we trivialize rape – prison rape in particular.

She should be charged with battery.
Tyson should have been charged with battery.
I’m not familiar with the Wayne Rooney incident, but it sounds like assault and/or battery.

Though to be fair, I don’t play any of the involved sports and didn’t see any of the context leading up to the incidents and am not an expert in any aspect of it. But people lose control all the time, and the law comes down on them. And not being an expert, I wouldn’t actually expect the law to ask me.

As for people saying she needs a good raping, 1) the people saying this are jerks at best and 2) I’ll bet somebody said that about Tyson too (again, don’t know anything about Wayne.) Perhaps he could get his nice raping in jail, where he belonged after that incident (again, IMHO – the jail, not the raping) ?

But sure, take the extreme, anonymous views from a few jerks who say she needs a good raping, who publish her parents phone number and extrapolate that into society saying things about a woman’s image needing to be demure?

The few, anonymous (anonymity is key here) people with these extreme views do not represent society.

Does no one in the States watch Hockey anymore? How is this any different?

Oh, yeah…
