Because what is the alternative? Just think about it. When she was assaulted all the way there is simply no part of her body she could show (after your logic)
I mean no inch of her skin. So a "normal" woman in her position would react in the same way: Just not giving a damn about it.
Actually i can look at her "large breast" and still not think about her assault/rape. Is her chest area sending out signals? Yeah. Guilty as charged. But being attracted to her is not the same as depicting a gruesome sexual attack on her. These are two different things.
A while ago the SUN even published an article about a talking Panda somewhere in Europe. But they failed to bring some Evidence to back that one up. The talking Panda they wrote was able to give numerous advice to people. In one case he even ended a war. Strange.
They very probably did everything, you are right. I myself believe it was the worst case scenario for our brave reporter. Very likely her chest area was also repeatedly assaulted. I am just glad that after a year she is not hiding her sexuality and they did not destroy her feeling as a woman. She is healing. The (psychological) wound scabs scar well.
I feel uncomfortable reading this: Grown man who seem not to be able to deal with a very attractive woman and behave like in frigging elementary school. I guess she and her colleagues must start to regress to be clothed in burkas and veils? Then the men can talk about "frigid" women once again. Whatever you do you simply cannot please everybody it seems.
She is very blessed. She looks very feminine. And very at ease with herself in that picture.
I try not to get too distracted by boobs with a woman. A woman once jokingly told on VIVA TV that men kinda see women with better developed boobs as overall more attractive and do not bother to check the rest of the body: Face. Overall figure. Legs. And so on...
I thought that this was a myth. But then i read the Aerosmith Bassist INterview and i thought: Oh Holy Cow. Even a master in "bedding" millions of groupies has not the in built defenses in dealing with boobs. A low cut top is all it takes to conquer a 60 year old veteran rock star and intimate guru of the bedroom arts and turn him into a whiny over-apologetic crybaby.
What do we "normal" guys do then? We are DOOMED. Just trying to keep all in perspective. Thank you for not shoe-ing me outright. You are the best.
Oh! Now she's just taunting us with that cleavage! Taunting us! Next year, she'll just be completely topless.
Ahhh she is just having Fun with her husband at the dinner! She is not taunting anyone. And i doubt she is doing anything extraordinary next year so rein yourself in.
But i have to admit the pic is beautiful. Very sexy, elegant and stylish. Who would not be the man at her side?
"Nothing excuses the Cairo sexual assault on CBS TV reporter Lara Logan, 39, the former swimwear model but she does have form for dressing provocatively in inappropriate locations.
In 2002, she was rebuked by British military officers in Afghanistan for flashing her cleavage."
Only conservative bullshit victim blaming again. And she was never a professional swimwear model anyway. She did it only like once. Geez.
She had a very low-cut top on. Im like, Okay, this is sort of, Get the band nervous with your cleavage and make them say stuff. And if you go and watch the interview, you wont see that. So Im like, Ahh, thats how they do it. They show their boobs and get you to talk about stuff. And then, there you are. . . It works every time.
Yeah the groupie-hardened top model consuming Aerosmith Band-members are going soft in their old grandpa age and are afraid of some boobs now. They get all emotional when boobs are involved. Gimme a break!
Yeah! I find that disturbing too. I mean come on hello? Is that not slightly...well uhm...weird? I assume nobody is talking about how the dead brides are dressed when forced to do their wifely duties after their death!
Good luck in replacing "honor" with the values of reason, restraint and respecting another ones privacy.
It was even difficult in Europe the transition between those two extremes and the Europeans had time and a culture of advanced reasoned thinking on their side.
What chance does a people have that lives in a remote mountainregion far away from the centers of modern abstract thinking?
If she can still hold her head up high after the surface of her assault video, not only would she be highly respected and a hero to all, it will show the world how pick yourself and live through any personal tragedy on any level.
I KNOW that - if something resurfaces - she will hold her head up high.
Because she did nothing wrong. That is not her shame to carry. It really is not.
This is known as the "Goy Mezuzah". In order for the shiska to be "Kosher" the husband has to defecate inside her mouth. She is supposed to spit it out afterwards. It is an important part of Jewish culture. You should encourage your sister to be understanding.
It depends what tone she used and how she said it. I didn't hear the interview.
There are numerous clips of Ms. Logan reporting from the Middle-East with a head scarf. She wasn't dressed that inappropriately for Cairo -- certainly not so much as to provoke a riot.
Sure, she could have exercised more caution (she COULD have warn dark glasses and a fake mustache) but... she was there for an hour or more surrounded by men who didn't rape her in spite of how she was dressed. The CBS footage shows thronging crowds of men around her NOT raping her or touching her at all. Obviously, those men, those hundreds and hundreds of men, were not outraged by her appearance.
It wasn't until a certain group of troublemakers showed up that there was a problem. A bad element. A distinctly hostile band of men. The most obvious theory is that these were supporters of the regime... not a group of random Egyptian men out to defend the Koran by raping a woman because her hair was uncovered. They didn't shout praises to the Koran -- they shouted that she was a Jew and an agent/spy -- so they were supporters of the regime.
Right! The horrible thing is that the US military aid may have been used to pay her attackers! Just imagine. Your taxmoney. Masked Truths Taxmoney. Piss On My Leg Taxmoney. Compassion Breaks Taxmoney
Not my Taxmoney because i am a European obviously.
Hey for all you know he could still be on Dial Up. I lived in the Shenandoah Valley up to 2007 and all that was available was Dial Up. There was not even cable around. I had to get a Dish for TV Service. So depending where he lived and DSL could be the reason for the difference.
Ahhhhh Stonewall Jacksons Valley! The Wilderness suited this old fox very well when he outgeneraled the blue-coats! *lets out a rebel yell*
Elizabeth Palmer and Clarissa Ward have to do all the hard work while Lara Logan gets these easy bullshit assignments interviewing the Polo guy and Aerosmith. She claims to suffer from PTSD so she can continue doing easy assignments.
She...CLAIMS...?
Are you outta your mind? Chronic PTSD is the most horrific post traumatic SOMETHING that can happen to you. She is doing "easy" assignments because she - rightly - assumes that one of her flashbacks could bring the whole team and her contacts on the other side of the border in severe danger. Not to speak of how known her face is in all the middle east. They would recognize her immediately in Syria. Now a no brainer question: You are a die hard vicious regime. How do you stop a dangerous journalist with a documented case of being gang-raped from doing much without killing her outright?
...
YES. Exactly. You do THAT. And She KNOWS that. Fully. Like CBS does.
I'll never understand men who feel insulted or taunted by the appearance of some cleavage. You'd think they would be grateful she's sharing her beauty. It's just some stupid way of casting blame. Just as many women are raped for being too prudish as women raped for being too "slutty" or whatever else. No matter what you do, a criminal will find a way to blame you for his batshit crazy actions.
It is a symptom that exposes a deep confusion in men how to deal with sexuality.
Let us be honest. In school or with parents: No man ever was prepared concerning sexuality. We are left alone with our hormones and our yearning after beautiful girls in school and we do not understand one iota about what it is all about. When we think too much about it in younger years we are chastised for it. IF we express our urges we hear comments like how pathetic we are. When we imagine things about Women and Girls we very wisely do not talk about it lest we get REAL troubles.
And then - someday - we are adults. Grown ups. We never learnt to deal with sex we never learnt how to deal with sexual fantasy we never learnt how to satisfy our urges without coming off like total idiots or creepy perverts. We learn so much stuff at school we never truly need but the most important thing how to deal with sexuality we only learn in terms of "avoiding" and "disease" and "birthcontrol"
The most cynic thing is than to wonder how people in this board are behaving. Well. They were let down many years ago. But of course they cannot talk about it because they would look like total losers doing so. And so the fantasies become more than fantasies they start to control people and someday you come to a board (like this one) and start to read gross and gory postings. Big Fucking Surprise!
I think that the Comments made by Clarissa Ward maybe the first "Dig" at CBS and Lara and maybe a way of saying that some are pissed that they are doing Lara's Job without the Title, and can be the Start of a Power Play for some whom are doing the Job and the Person with the Title is Stateside with the Better Salary and Prestige and Clarissa may want the job! Woman can be caddy when there is a Title is Concerned! This is the start of the Pressure to excuse the Phrase: S--T or Get off the Pot!
Perhaps. Women can be pretty brutal when it is about competition. Maybe even more than even men.
Once they stripped Lara naked and many could put their hands on her, this was their centerfold come to life. Groping, touching, fingering and handraping was first and she admitted to this. Her surrender meant she turn her body over to them without the fighting and stop resisting, which allow them to rape her with penis, in the same holes they were handraping (they had been inside her holes already). Forcing oral rape, they had to force penises in her mouth, this was the only reason they hit and beat her, whipping her body along with pulling her hair until she also surrender to blow jobs. After raping every hole to a cum fill mess, the mob stop using their penis, that's when the other humiliations was done to her, because she was a mess and all her holes were filled up, she was cover from her hair and body in dirt and fluid. The mob had to clean her off to continue, the women in black saw her as a dirty, fluid cover mess, that's why the first thing they thought of, was to water her down and clean her off, they even threw water at the mob, who only wanted to clean her up for round 2.
Very probably true. But your account - forgive if I am mistaken - reads a little like a rape account of its own. Look this is a fantasy you are describing that may correspond to the facts. But for you it is a fantasy. You have to keep that in mind. And you have to try to separate reality from fantasy.
