“your statement is so incredibly offensive to rape victims– and to all women [...]”

It’s not just incredibly offensive to women, it’s incredibly offensive to anybody who has a body.

One’s body is one’s own domain; if Peg Yorkin doesn’t realise that, she should really be spokesperson for a different kind of association.

I am so glad you addressed this because I’ll bet too many of us are seeing red on this to be able to see the pc screen now. Excellent rebuttal. Thank you for doing this!

@Kathmandu: I am all about Roman Polanski incurring additional “interest and penalties,” if such a thing were possible.

About the “it was so many years ago”:

Yes, it was. He’s been evading justice all that time. When someone flees the country to avoid paying income taxes, the IRS doesn’t say, “Well, it was so many years ago, we’ll let it go”; they charge interest and penalties, to make sure that delay is not worth it.

Peg Yorkin is a hypocrite. It really makes me sick.
