RE: Should Guys Defend Aziz or Just Shut the Hell Up?
Human sexual relations will forever be a minefield on the battlefield that pits men against women. And then it's further complicated by the fact accepted attitudes of the time change over time.
Whilst no-one would ever (normally) want violence in a relationship, sexual attacks or simple bad sex, we have to accept that we all live somewhere on our very own learning curves. We all start off inexperienced nubes. In a Hollywood romance things generally work out perfect. But that's just fiction. With real life often nothing like that.
So, there will always be sex crimes (rape has been documented enough in the animal kingdom so - the rule of law aside - why should we expect any better of ourselves?). There will always be bad sex, too. And it's possible the person upset won't always be the woman, even (most times, it will be though). So, to a degree, we have to accept it as the seedy little fact of life it is.
Of course, that's not to say we shouldn't forever aim to minimise the chance of sexual assaults / bad sex from happening. We should keep up with the publicity and good people will no doubt ensure we do.
Ultimately, we're all responsible for our own actions. Well at least, when the accused. We should all try to ensure we're never the victim as well, though. By being vigilant. (This is in no way an attempt at victim blaming, I hasten to add. It's just we've got to be realists. Some rapists are unknown to their victims. Most aren't though.) The law will not always see justice served and it's got to be better to simply avoid the need for the law getting involved in your affairs, wherever possible? Obviously.
As I said, it's quite the minefield. Though if you're lucky you'll get to skip between those pitfalls with out losing an arm or a leg (so to speak).
The woman with Aziz certainly seemed to get off rather lightly, all things considered and, therefore, I'm not sure what all the fuss is about, there. That is, if there is a fuss, still. I thought it had totally blown over for him - and rightly so. Is he still being publicly vilified?
