Russell Brand is being accused of rape

That's a good point.

I always assumed it would be more traumatizing if rape was from a stranger, but I'm not a girl so I don't know.

Thank you for saying that. And yes, you don't know, even though every woman is different in how they process being raped.

He didn't mask it, he legit matured and developed a lot.

He wasn't into spirituality back during his raping years. He was a heroin addict.

Considering how bad he used to be, I'd say he made a good recovery. Assuming he stopped the raping.

You're already convicting the guy. How about using the word "alleged".

@Leo Gura Good point; I felt that on a personal level to a certain degree.

 I’ve never been a heroine addict, so I couldn’t comprehend how that would amplify preexisting mental issues he has.

I just looked him up on Wikipedia… we both have ADHD. Interesting!

In any case, society is not mature enough to let people off the hook when it comes to serious crimes…. Unless you’re someone in power who specifically maintains and benefits the current structure.

Both matters 

Who did? REALLY matters

How it was done? REALLY matters

 

Yes, that's true but it still depends on the perspective of the victim.

When you’ve personally embodied the experience of hurting others long enough, you’ll begin to empathize and understand their situation a lot deeper.

Jesus Christ is prime example. There’s a very good reason he was hanging around with “sus” people.

It sounds foolish and dangerous, but only from the perspective of someone who believes that they are above criminals.

There is nothing mature about letting a rapist off the hook.

Well, you got me there. As someone who has no personal experience with sexual intercourse, I can’t speak authoritatively about rape or sex.

He finally agreed with you and you thanked him, isn't that funny?  Why would you thank someone if someone agree with your opinion? That's dangerous when you feel the need to be proven right.

I wasn't thanking him for agreeing with me, I was thanking him for acknowledging that it's hard to understand being raped from a woman's perspective. That's all prissy poo.

[Yimpa]

The mature thing for Russell Brand to do is surrender.

I agree with you ?

Notice I didnt say thank you for agreeing with me, nor did I just say thank you. I said thank you for saying that. Keen observation is the key to making distinctions.

It’s amazing to consider that everything Russell Brand has been projecting about the system is identical to his own psyche. 

But let’s not deviate into spiritual territory to much and go back to talking about rape (which is a serious issue).

Science and the pursuit of knowledge is the pursuit of being right. Why? So you can use said knowledge for personal and collective gain.

Nothing amazing about that as we cannot see anything beyond our own States of Consciousness. You can tell a lot about a person's psyche by the way they argue. 

[Butters]

I don't wanna go off topic but can someone please explain why women can have sex and then retroactively say it wasn't consensual? That's not how anything in life works, why would rape work that way?

The way you perceive someone is mutually dependent on your state of consciousness. 

There is a mature and an immature way to discuss rape and other serious topics that cause dysfunction in our society. (Not a black and white way to see it, but in a spectrum… but also black and white depending on context lol)

Which direction would you prefer society to go?

No the real thing is you felt thankful.

It's my nature. I'm very aware of the gifts being presented to me as I'm very open-minded and receptive to the Universe. The mind is what I have to watch for it's trickiness and self-deception. Thanks to Leo for making me aware of that. So, any opportunity I get to relate my thankfulness I will do so.

because they may consent and then the guy takes off the condom halfway through, forces them into a position they are uncomfortable with or finds that they feel sick and want to stop. So they are allowed to say ‘no more I want to stop cause of X Y Z, and then if the person continues then it’s rape
