I don't like how this show ended. She wanted to go to court. That's how she was going to get closure, and she allowed herself to practically be re-victimized by other men overruling her personal decision, and all because they were worried about image, and how she would make THEM look.

I think this episode ended just right. Pitch-perfect. There is a dire moral here. A dark, brutal moral. But a nessicary one.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON'T TAKE ACTION. Turn the other cheek and walk away. And yes, she might have been embarassed up there on the stand--but justice has a price. Everything of value does.

At the end of this episode--you may draw your own conclusion. But at the same time, all it says is, "This is what happens when..."

@MissLadyDoolittle Oh. And Mike and Archie should be bitch-slapped for acting like Gloria's pain is a reflection on their manhood.

[MissLadyDoolittle]

That cop should be fired.

The laws are differenct now. Rape shield laws have helped remove some of the tactics the Detective described.

Jeez, MIke; "I know what's best for my wife"?? Gimme a break!

@Joyness333 It's amazing how it is still today. So much has changed, but I still think women are just a reflection of mens' masculinity. Many girls hide because of facing ignorance & judgement. WE ARE responsible for victims in our communities! We should care for their pain and help them because it's right. My family turned on me when I reported him to the police. Duty to yourself is important! "Be true to thyself." My husband stood by me and supported my choice. He proved to me he was a man.

All of that talking and hollering Arch and Mike did, all Gloria needed was to be comforted and held. They were selfish and hollering, knowing she was emotionally fragile. Moreover, why was Mike's big mouth open, he is ONLY her husband, he isn't the victim. It isn't his decision to make. What kind of crap was that? I am all for a husband being the leader, the head of the home, but that bullying they did was disrespectful to her raw, on edge feelings about her OWN experience.

@Joyness333 Then in a later episode, she verbally brow beat Edith, in a disrespectful way, for doing exactly what she herself did. I didn't care for either ending to either show, although I LOVE this show beyond words...smile..Gloria was a hypocrite for being free to make her own decision but verbally abusing Edith in a later episode. I know it is only a show. chuckle

This still happens today. People blame the rape victims a lot of times for dressing too sexy or acting too sexy. An 11 year old girl was gang raped in a small town in Texas earlier this year, and the town is blaming the girl for it! They said she dressed sexy and she is trying to defame the town and all of their young male citizens. Blaming the victim for the crime is still a sad reality in our society and a shameful act by the morons who do that.

@TrentH190 Yeah but it's of its time. And really shows you how far things have come. The cop was absolutely right in describing how women were treated in court for sexual assault at the time. Not that it WAS right, just what the state of affairs was. Can you imagine how shocking this episode would have been at the time it aired? Wow.
