You're not the first or even last person to try to ameliorate cultural bullshit on DU. Just don't try to NOW spin this as something different when you're called on it. You've got a whole contingent of DUers that will come 'round and bolster your position so just sit pretty and wait it out. I'm just the first one from this corner to call out bullshit on your (tired, frustrating and incredibly short sighted) position today.

A 16 year old rape victim was killed by her family for the "crime" of being a rape victim. Murdered. Killed. There's no way to bring her back no matter what "harsh" punishment anyone else in her family receives. They still live. No comparisons. No way to try to equivocate imho.
