Rape: Cause Célèbre – Who Knew?

October 12, 2009 by threadingwater

I was all jazzed up to recycle my annual anti-pink ribbon, shop for the cure lollapalooza because, darlings, it’s that time of year again and we can all use this timely reminder to Think Before You Pink ~ when I stumbled over this fine article by Kate Harding on Hollywood rape apologists.

Like I needed one more reason to hate Pedro Almodovar.

    As others have written, one only has to read the child victim’s testimony to the grand jury at the time, to know that it really was “rape rape”. I have read the testimony, that is very accessible on the internet. I have also avoided any Roman Polanski movies since I learned of his crime in the 1970′s. He had a plea bargain, and ran. Soon he will be back. Good.
