Quote of the Day

[Content Note: Rape culture description of sexual violence.]"I am not really a doctor, but I will tell you something: If a person does not wish to have intercourse, your body shuts lower. Your body won't permit that to occur unless of course lots of damage is caused, and that we heard nothing about this within this situation."—California Superior Court Judge Derek Manley, throughout a situation about "a guy who threatened to mutilate the face area and genital area of his ex-girlfriend having a heated screwdriver, beat her having a metal baton making other violent risks before carrying out rape, forced dental copulation, along with other crimes." It had been Judge Johnson's estimation the victim "did not set up a battleInch throughout her assault, because her vagina wasn't "shredded," and that he sentenced the attacker to simply six years, "saying that is what the situation was 'worth.'"In reaction, the California Commission on Judicial Performance chosen 10- yesterday to impose a public admonishment of Manley.He ought to be taken off the bench. For fuck's sake.
