That's great news, it's a disgrace it's ever been allowed as a defence

Such good news

I can’t quite put into words the contempt I have for lawyers who used this.

Such good news.

Good.

Good

Fantastic

This is excellent news.

Good.
Those who allowed it to become a thing in the first place need to look in the mirror.

👍

That is really good news.

About time too. It’s disgraceful that this was a) allowed as a defence; and b) not legislators against after the first case like this.

That's good to hear. Thank You to everyone who has been working towards this.

Some very good news. Well done to everyone in the "We can't consent to this" campaign for all their hard work.

100% agree

Excellent! Fantastic campaigning!! Well done Fiona and everyone involved (and also thank you to the MPs who supported this.)

About time! I'm not sure how it ever became an acceptable defence in the first place! There must have been at least a tiny window in the 20th century when killing someone female was viewed as seriously as killing someone male

Great news

Definitely, amazing work from everyone involved.

Yes. Brilliant news. Should never have been considered a reasonable defence at all.

Good.

I just came on here to post about this. So glad we've got some good news right now.

Excellent news

Good.
I've always despised men who use this defence and the lawyers and barristers who represent them in court because the woman is dead and unable to counter anything they say.
Anyone who believes a woman wants sex that's "rough" enough to kill them when it "goes wrong" is a deluded misogynist.

Well done We Can't Consent to This and everyone who's supported them.

Amazing news!
