Shit, is that awful woman his boss?

Headteachers are suppossed to be pastoral experts and able to deal with issues like this very sensitively!

@debrmck "Rape is not a tool to punish bad deeds." Tell that to men in prison.

Coerced sex is rape. Just because someone is not physically beaten or held down does not mean they have not been raped. If one does not feel that they have the free will to consent that is a rape especially if one is talking about a minor. By your standards a child who is violated has not been raped simply because the adult has said things to them such as I will hurt your mommy if you tell anyone. A discussion of who deserves to be called victim is denegration of all rape victims.

@debrmck Did I ever say that it was? I specifically stated earlier that no one deserves to be raped. However, I also believe that if you do wrong to others, it's going to come back and bite you in the ass 10x harder.

@superxx57 With that type of logic only good people deserve not to be raped. Rape is not a tool to punish bad deeds.

@PlatypusRising55 It doesn't matter to me, I was just informing you that being repetitive about Izzy being at fault doesn't change what Macs did. In my eyes, rape and coerced sex are equally wrong. Maybe if Macs didn't do such terrible things to other people, none of this would've happened to him. Hopefully, things will change after this.

@superxx57 1) The point of the thread is to make comments about the show. Why should it matter to you what I say to anyone else or how much I say? 2) I completely believe that blackmail is wrong. I think Macs is a manipulative jerk. Which I've said, repeatedly. 3) My point has to do with language and how it has meaning and not wanting to see something like "rape" get used so easily. 4) Everyone involved has been a victim and done some victimizing. That's how soaps are. No one is innocent.

@PlatypusRising55 No one deserves to be raped, just like no one deserves to be blackmailed. Say what you want, what Macs did was wrong period. Writing an essay to everyone saying that Izzy had a choice isn't going to change that in the slightest. My point in writing what I wrote is that after victimizing others, Mac now knows what feels like to be a victim, whether he deserved this or not. I hope he comes out a better person than he was before the incident, and seeks redemption for his actions.
