We just need to not get drunk apparently, as genuine rapists will prey on us if we're hammered. Well, that's a relief. I thought there might be a bit more to it than that, but it seems not.

Did he get paid to share this wisdom? If yes, from whom? Angry

BuckingFrolicks2 · 19/05/2017 18:48

I refuse to read it.

They are thick as mince, but cunning as snakes.

Never a good combo.

Lottapianos · 19/05/2017 18:23

Agreed Madame

MadameSzyszkoBohush · 19/05/2017 18:17

Glitter both him and his fiancé are thick as mince.

GlitterGlue · 19/05/2017 18:13

He's a vile scumbag. Surely he's not serious though? Or is he as thick as mince as well as being a vile scumbag?

Lottapianos · 19/05/2017 17:50

That is a great article TheOnly. You can feel just how livid she is. Good for her.

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 19/05/2017 17:32

Excellent article here

Fliptophead · 19/05/2017 17:25

Men get raped too. I hope he's sober as a judge on his nights out so as to avoid being raped. and maybe to avoid him actually raping anyone again

Totallymyownperson · 19/05/2017 17:21

Aristotle - want to read a good article see the latest one from the independent by Victoria smith.

After the retrial he said in an interview he wanted to let the football do the talking now I wish he stuck to that. Even his supporters are telling him to shut up now. What a PR disaster

kittybiscuits · 19/05/2017 17:16

His girlfriend's family bought witnesses to get him off. Nice.

PoochSmooch · 19/05/2017 17:11

I didn't say that I agreed with what he was saying, just that it wasn't wrong (or right) simply because HE (an unarguably bad, bad person) was saying it - it should be judged on its own merits.

I'm not sure if it's your posting style, but as it was me who misinterpreted/didn't get your earlier comment, then I have to say that I don't get this one either. Because it still sounds like you agree with his premise, or at least think it shouldn't be dismissed out of hand. Which is kind of astonishing, given that he's portraying himself as a victim here...? And is in fact, very near the top of the list of male public figures who should never, ever be venturing the slightest public opinion on women and rape just as the merest nod to being a decent human being.

Ceto · 19/05/2017 17:10

Just had a thought. He essentially got off because the jury wasn't satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that he didn't genuinely believe that the victim wasn't consenting. Does he now accept that, whatever he believed, she simply wasn't capable of consenting? And has he therefore taken any action to show contrition, such as paying compensation or even telling his supporters to leave her alone?

FlaviaAlbia · 19/05/2017 16:53

This is his sick notion of revenge isn't it? Against the police for believing him guilty of rape and against the woman he raped, probably for just existing. It's just an attempt to cause her further pain.

He's the lowest of the low.

Spudlet · 19/05/2017 16:47

Fuckity fucking hell. The only advice he should be giving is to stay away from him. Damn right he knows what he did. Angry

Someone earlier used the analogy of wearing a cycle helmet being akin to staying sober and not dressing 'provocatively', but that's not quite right, is it? I wear a cycle helmet in case I hit a pothole, not in case a driver deliberately makes the choice to aim their car at me and run me into the ditch. It's not as though rape happens by accident - 'Oh sorry mate, I didn't see you' Hmm The rapist chooses to rape, and that choice is theirs alone, and not something their victim can control in the slightest.

AvonBarksdale99 · 19/05/2017 16:34

Can I just point out that my earlier comment was misinterpreted - I didn't say that I agreed with what he was saying, just that it wasn't wrong (or right) simply because HE (an unarguably bad, bad person) was saying it - it should be judged on its own merits.

BeyondStrongAndStable · 19/05/2017 16:13

Indeed :(

ChocChocPorridge · 19/05/2017 16:04

Crone Island just gets more and more appealing doesn't it.

kittybiscuits · 19/05/2017 16:02

If they steer away from cunts like Ched they will be less likely to be raped. That will have to suffice until we have a criminal justice system which is fit for purpose.

BeyondStrongAndStable · 19/05/2017 15:56

How not to be raped - stay away from Chedwyn-Evans-The-Rapistâ„¢
Easy peasy

QuentinSummers · 19/05/2017 14:08

Just like a lion picks off a limping antelope in the Serengeti, a rapist may be more likely to target the drunk girl who will pose less risk to him.
Yeah, so basically your rape prevention advice is don't be the limping antelope, let some other girl get raped. What about when you are the limping antelope by virtue of being the only woman around? Or by living in the lions den without being aware?
Because a mans need to rape is just like a lions need to eat.

AristotlesTrousers · 19/05/2017 09:48

Wish I hadn't read this - what an awful article. Sad

What bollocks is he on about when he says "A lot of work needs to be done in relation to consent because I definitely think that the police have an agenda to find ways to charge people and the easiest one is the drunk one."? Because surely the opposite of this is true.

What a disgusting individual he is.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 19/05/2017 09:21

Also, apparently 12,000 men in England and Wales are raped a year (compared to 85,000 women), and yet I never hear this advice being directed at men. It's almost as if we don't think there's anything morally reprehensible about men going out drinking, so it doesn't occur to us to advise them to stop it

Interesting isn't it? Often MRAs and other associated misogynists hard on about how men are subject to just as much rape and violence blah, blah, blah as women ... yet they do only think that women should be the ones to curtail behaviour.

whoputthecatout · 19/05/2017 08:46

One of the most horrifying things about this is that the poor woman never even reported the rape. She reported a lost handbag. Then the whole thing was taken out of her hands completely. She had no control over what happened to her and became a spectator in her own life. The stuff of nightmares.

boldlygoingsomewhere · 19/05/2017 07:24

I think Ched Evans is a danger to women. He has no idea what consent is.
