Thank you for your sympathy towards my girlfriend. I believe you're correct when you say that we have come a long way from blaming the victim, but we still have a very long way to go. Also, it's nice to know that a man cares about and is sensitive towards these things.
Getting hit with a rape charge is a terrible thing to do to a man.......um yeeeeeaaaaah, and being raped is wonderful thing to happen to a person? Morons.
Isn't it obvious that something happened to her by the bruises and the cuts? Wouldn't the comps be a little more willing to believe her when they saw that she'd been beaten up?
Oh how terrible, poor Elizabeth Montgomery. It's so hard watching her get treated terribly after her beautiful and family friendly lead role as Sammantha in Bewitched. This movie is truly old though, rape is dealt with alot better now, although you do get the odd wise guy police officer or pig headed man.
It was not until a law change was made on the "issue of consent", that the burden of proof was taken somewhat off the victim. Physical evidence is more the key these days, with the advancement of DNA . Thankyou to all the sciencetists for this. Without the DNA science, the laws would not have been changed. Has anyone noticed that they don't make films like this anymore?. Films that highlight abuse like "The Burning Bed" and "The Accused" have seemed to become less of a social issue.
fuck these police. they make me sick. for all i care they can go fuck eachother. gay fucks. if a guy ever raped me i would cut his dick off and shove it down his throat.
I think what they wanted to focus on here, was the rights of the Victim. Even though this movie is quite old, the rights of the Victim have not changed much. It is generally assumed that when a woman claims that she has been raped, that she is either lying or attention seeking. False reports for rape are less than 1%, but that does not change the way other people view or treat a victim. The comment about the Bra is a good example.
Oh, like half the shit on tv and cinema in the decades before that weren't "female-bashing." If anything, it was high time for the tide to turn, regardless of how ridiculously extreme it's portrayed on screen.
Seriously? Television alone: there were countless situational comedies in television history consisting mainly of the female housewife as the foil for the husband, basically illustrating her subservience. "All in the Family," "I Love Lucy," "Leave it to Beaver," the general lack of female leads until the latter half of the 20th century. Mary Tyler Moore and Cagney & Lacey are the exceptions, not the rule. You seem to be lacking in your knowledge of television history, at the very least.

So basically, you hate housewives. You want all the women to be angry lesbian feminists. Those shows you mentioned had men who went out and worked and provided for the family. Of course that is acceptable to you. Just don't expect the women to take of the children and clean the house.
Nope, I never said I hated housewives or thought it wasn't a proper job, I said those televisions shows conveyed housewifery as the only option women had in providing for the household. And it's hilarious that you jump to the conclusion that I must be an "angry lesbian feminist." No, I simply believe there's more to a woman's "usefulness" than being a housewife, which was rarely displayed in the shows I mentioned. It's fallacious to illustrate men as being the only possible breadwinners.
Furthermore, men are just as capable of taking care of the house as women, but why are they rarely "househusbands" in those shows? Because portraying them as such would've been portraying them as women. Those general ideals are enough to form a conclusion that women weren't treated especially wonderfully in those shows. Thus hearkening back to my original argument that the "strong woman" movie/show has its place, just as the "strong man" movie/show does.
My God, what a prime asshole this cop is! To suggest that she enjoyed being raped and that women get turned on by it is absolutely appalling!! This guy should not only lose his job, he should also get one good kick in the ass and the groin!
You got that right! What woman would enjoy being raped?! Look at her, she's brutally beaten for God's sake! When a woman says "NO" she means it! What woman would enjoy that?! I would have slapped his ass right in his face.
@stitchesful That's the way the film was made, back in the 70s, most cases of rape were treated like the woman was asking for it, and that is just downright sickening, not to mention degrading- THANK GOD that women have stronger measures to protect themselves from senseless acts like this one-
@christheone8773 Yes, thank God! But I'm not sure it had come quite as far as you think. I wouldn't know from personal experience, but I have a girlfriend who was raped sometime back in the 90's, and she said that she also didn't get much sympathy or help from the cops.
@stitchesful I am so very sorry to hear about your girlfriend - but to clarify the point I made earlier, I am glad that we are past the point where most cases of rape are the victim's fault - maybe not by leaps and bounds, but I think women are far more intelligent to make anyone think that it was THEIR fault (by the way, I am a 46 year old male)--
Hes saying "some women enjoy the idea of rape, and force." Yeah buddy it wouldnt be rape if she enjoyed it or wanted it!!!!

This is how the law used to treat rape victims. When you guys say "I hate feminists," think about the good things they have done for society.

I would've liked to ask this cop if HIS wife had been raped, would he ask her "was it sort of thrilling? Did you kind of enjoy it?"

The 70's were great. This is just a male-bashing movie. It's almost a parody.
