Too ugly to be raped?

Could there be vindication for a rape victim in Italy? The alleged attackers were acquitted based on the premise that the victim was too "masculine" to be attractive — but a high court overturned the ruling and is calling for a new trial.

    This is crazy mehn. Even if the person is masculine, is man on man rape acceptable?

    Rape isn’t about attraction even it’s about control.

    Attractive? There are accounts of two year old girls and eighty year old women being raped.

    Probably they’d say asking for it due to looking too feminine, or it’s a full moon therefore it was a hallucination.

    Stop media trial and bring perpetrator, if he is really one, to justice of the civil society not the justice of la la land where only beautiful and attractive people are supposed to the receivers of the justice, if they are being offended but not the ugly ordinary people are supposed to be fit for justice. Horrendous! The whole society stands offended by the Bogus decision.
