Members dragonflies Posted September 25, 2007 Members Share Posted September 25, 2007 From the new SOD, thanks to Donna at the Zen board: Ugh is she for real?!?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IMissAremid Posted September 25, 2007 Members Share Posted September 25, 2007 She really said this? After expending all that ink in her mag pimping the Rape is Not Romance crap from the Lumi fans? What a freaking hypocrite. I know I don't agree with you on much, but I am always down for a Carolyn Hinsey hate parade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stenbeck212 Posted September 25, 2007 Members Share Posted September 25, 2007 Maybe she'd believe it if Jax bent over and Irina jammed her gun in his holster. If her head was on straight, she would have chastised GH for dropping the ball when they had a chance to explore male sexual assault and deciding to put victim at fault.

Members dragonflies Posted September 25, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 25, 2007 Yep she actually said that. I bet the 3 million plus men in this world that have been raped will be glad to know that it's not possible for them to have been raped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members P.J. Posted September 25, 2007 Members Share Posted September 25, 2007 There's a double standard for male rape. I know Logan bitched about how no one blinks an eye when a woman is raped, but that rape never goes on for DAYS, with the victim bound, gagged, and handcuffed like male rapes do either. Ugh...*shiver* Jack's rape on ATWT was one of the most disgusting things ever. And the mags refused to call it rape. They actually put it in quotes---like it was misleading. "Rape". Any forced intercourse is RAPE. Idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 25, 2007 Members Share Posted September 25, 2007 To Hinsey, GH can do no wrong, is anyone really surprised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Southofnowhere Posted September 25, 2007 Members Share Posted September 25, 2007 Got this from Rainn.org: " Victims may be forced through threats or physical means". "In about 8 out of 10 rapes , no weaopn is used other than physical force". " Anyone may be s victim of rape". : Women .men or children, straight or gay."

Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 25, 2007 Members Share Posted September 25, 2007 THat's pretty reprehensible--especially since I've seen her get plenty mad about things that happen on "pretend" soaps before, and now to complain about what obviouslyshe's getting a LOT of complaints about, and pass it off like it's merely people whining when they should be having fun? And when it's about something as volatile, and personal as sexual assault--what the [!@#$%^&*]? Just because it wasn't portrayed in a very realistic way doesn't make it more forgiveable--fi anythign the opposite should be true, right? Wow I mean if someone threatened her that's pretty idiotic and bad form but still... wow I severely hope she wrote this article while drunk or stoned and regrets that it made it to print. At the least someonw with her experience must knwo that the tone she decided to write the piece in would simply rile people more up. Idiot.

Members Pest Spray Posted September 25, 2007 Members Share Posted September 25, 2007 That's despicable, frightening and sad. Are we that far gone in our socity from everything emotion and humane that we (and yes, it's a soap, whatever) can't actually recongnize something this violent? Every day, it's in newspapers that rapists are getting as low as 1 month in jail and a fine of approx. $1000 dollars. I mean, it's insulting. There was a case where a father raped his daughter for over 10 years and he walked for no reason. It's frightening that as a community there's such a lack of understanding what rape does to someone. There's such a lack of sympathy. And that goes whether it's fictional or real because it has to do with reactions. You can't teach empathy, and the way this world is faring, there's a danger that people won't learn it because people don't show it. I've never been victimized sexually, thank god, but I'd like to think that I'm empathic enough to see how devestating and how far beyond the physical violation it goes. Off the roll now.

Members Ryan Posted September 25, 2007 Members Share Posted September 25, 2007 Is Carolyn so blinded by her loyalty to GH that she allows her inner psychotic fangurl to come out and have the audacity to say what she did? My goodness. I have ALWAYS loved Carolyn, though I didn't always agree with what she had to say. This is just disgusting. How can SOD allow this woman to have a job? Why is this mouthpiece for the networks and sometimes select "critic" allowed to write the bullshit that she does? There's a woman who I'd love to see take her place....her initials are M.D.L.

Members Tishy Posted September 25, 2007 Members Share Posted September 25, 2007 This is disgusting. I can't believe that she said this. For the record, even in those circumstances that Jax was in, he CAN get aroused. It's not like he wants too, it just happens and he can't help it. Does anyone remember if she said anything when Julia raped Jack on ATWT a few years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted September 25, 2007 Members Share Posted September 25, 2007 Honestly......Carolyn's comments are along the lines of a man saying the woman wanted to be rape because she was aroused. I know it's "only her opinion" but it's a disgusting opinion to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted September 25, 2007 Members Share Posted September 25, 2007 Wow. I know she is outspoken but she should have kept her mouth shut here. What she said was offensive to not only men who have actually been raped but women as well. It was rape plain and simple and it cant be dismissed as such bc she doesnt get it.
