1. Why is it your concern instead of the courts? Why are you trying the women in the arena of public opinion?

2. You need this: “How Must She Behave to Have Been Raped“.

3. No, of course you weren’t raped, you idiot. You’re stating here that you were consenting. The partners who woke you up that way, however, were risking committing rape.

The whole thing STINKS of political manipulation by the US, UK and Swedish governments so that Assange can be held until the USian AG can drum up some charges and request Assange’s extradition to the US.

As soon as that happens, I’m betting the Swedish government will drop its extradition request or cede priority to the US.

As to the allegations:
I’m very troubled by his refusal to use a condom and agree with both women that Assange should have a full STD screening with any positive results reported to the women.

The rough sex one seems to be a she said/he said situation with the woman’s credibility greatly diminished by her late reporting and continued friendly association with Assange.

I have several pleasant memories of being woken by a morning rider after a night of consensual sex. Was I being assaulted then?

Julian Assange by his own evidence, by the things he says, is a jerk, was a jerk to these women. Most people would figure that if you’re going to be a jerk, if bad shit rains down upon you due to that jerkines, you deserved at least some of it. But what we are seeing here are strident efforts to make sure that the whole jerk thing not apply to Assange.

As is generally the case with cult leaders.

I hasten to add that I don’t actually think Julian Assange is trying to be a cult leader. Maybe, maybe not. But he’d being treated that way, and the young man is too naive and uneducated in the ways of the world to see this happening, and seemingly unequipped to say something sensible to the would be cult followers. The guy is NOT John Lennon.

Quote:

“‘Victim one’ bragged about bagging Assange, threw a party for him the day after he “raped” her, and only decided she’d been “raped” after finding out she wasn’t his only lover. Earlier this year, her blog also promoted an article about how to exact malicious revenge on the unfaithful. (That series of events apparently could sound suspect only to a woman-hating rape-apologist?) Once two jilted Assange groupies discovered each other, the women who’d previously stayed friendly with Assange even after their “assaults” (while thinking they were his only girl) got upset and decided to go to the police. And, even then, they didn’t go to press rape charges at first, they went to see if they could force Assange to undergo STI testing. After there wasn’t enough evidence to charge him with anything, and then after repeat tries got the charges thrown out of court, one woman escalated her claim and said that, yes, actually, she did recall that he held her down with his bodyweight when they had sex. The rape hysterics have been holding that part up as the new lynch pin in the case.”

There is quite a bit more to read there… Me, I’m just trying to ascertain the time line of events.
