Outrage after girl's thong used as evidence of consent in Irish rape trial
DUBLIN -- Protests have flared across Ireland this week triggering a viral campaign online after a defense lawyer showed a 17-year-old girl's thong or G-string in court as alleged proof of her consent in a rape case.
The outrage has included a female lawmaker brandishing underwear in parliament and women posting pictures of their thongs online with the hashtag #ThisIsNotConsent.
"It might seem embarrassing to show a pair of thongs in this incongruous setting," said member of parliament Ruth Coppinger -- pulling the underwear from her sleeve against the objections of the speaker on Tuesday.
"But the reason I'm doing it -- how do you think a rape victim or a woman feels at the incongruous setting of her underwear being shown in a court?"
She was referring to a rape case in the republic's southern city of Cork, where a girl's underwear was shown to jurors.
Wait, so you think wearing under-wear in public warrants rape? The fuck..

st.patrick foresaw the fires of Ireland dim but really guys this is just ridiculous
Gavin Ross
What happened here? Fluid druid had sex, but she had no drugs in her system and no injuries, but lots of regrets, so a judge said her panties prove she wanted it?
> (You) >Wait, so you think wearing under-wear in public warrants rape? The fuck.. Yes. And ankle length dresses and bonnets Burqas and niqabs are acceptable, so long as they aren't sexy
Why do you Brits protest rape if a white dude does it but if a paki rapes you don't even mention it?

Eh, I’ve only been with a handful of women, but from my experience if they are planning to get lucky they don’t wear the granny panties It shouldn’t need to be said, but of course planning =|= consent Would like to hear the rest of the case
That Irish judge just has a fetish for women’s fecking knickers so je just made this ruling to get women everywhere to show off their thongs. It worked! He’s probably fapped himself into a coma by now. Based.
What IS consent? Are they trying to say that when a man fucks a woman, they are at their mercy? Thanks god that I always had mentally stable girlfriends and married the last.
At some point you guys better have the thot sign a fucking contract before the act lmao.

Wearing thongs does. They are thot underwear, women dont wear them for comfort they wear them in case chad decides to have spontaneous sex with them.
Oliver Long
10 year olds wear that shit in the U.S. And the ride has only just begun.

Leave it to women to not understand what kind of arguments could be used that involved a lady's underwear. These skanks presume to know everything that could be said in that court room. The narcissism is insane, we need to start locking women up or something.
Here's an example argument that anybody else who isn't a knuckle dragger with a moderate amount of imagination could envisage: The defense argues that the underwear added to the interpretation of something said that was not quite heard correctly. Suppose it somehow aided in the accused's interpretation of a statement that indicated whether he should continue into the path of sexual intercourse.
Sifted through 20+ news sites, both European and American. All of them have the same exact story word for word. And nobody says what the actual evidence that was presented was. The jury came back with a unanimous verdict that the guy was innocent after all, even the women didn't believe this THOT.
The underwear could possibly be the deciding factor in whether he believed he had her consent because it made her seem more likely to desire sex.
Carter Jenkins
She wishes she was raped.
James Gray
chick rescinded her consent two days after intercourse, like always
Ryder Cooper
Nigga have you been in a liberal city lately and seen how kids dress?
The shit parents let their 10yr old daughers dress up in would be a hanging offence a few decades ago.
Landon Bennett
is that a macv sog photo?
Zachary Stewart
The lawyer was probably making some reasonable if not strained pilpul kind of argument about how it made his client believe she was more inclined to fuck him.
Who fucking knows, these assholes have hours to sit around thinking of this shit. I'm just a retard on a taiwanese rice cooker catalog commitee IRC
Angel Wright
useless cunts
James Ross
I don't believe you.
Andrew Rivera
Maybe "not your fault" but you are still gonna have had your shit pushed in.
Dylan Walker
Yeah, it reeks of manufactured outrage disingenuously misinterpreting what happened.
Christian Cruz
OMG a woman's actions have meaning?!? PATRIARCHY!!
Xavier Smith

Brody Bennett
Yes. At least in Germany.
Joshua Ward
>women fully consent to posting their risque panties online for all to see You have no idea how much this pleases me
Brayden Davis
I believe so
Well youre retarded. Ive literally overheard conversations about women complaining about how uncomfy their g bangas are.
Jack Howard
Is it that or might he have raped her
Connor Thompson
This. You can tell it’s fake news by the fact that no one knows the details. Because the details would show that there’s nothing to be outraged about.
Owen Powell
HE has a goatee for fucks sake you fucking retards! I am so ready for the hellfire, IDGAF if I am still here when it happens or not..
Well according to a court it wasn't rape you brainlet.
Colton Johnson
And it was probably the most minor casual tiny point in the final conclusion at the bottom of the list of things under “she said yes multiple times and grabbed his dick and initiated sex” but they just pick the one tiny thing they can misinterpret to get outraged about.
>You can tell it’s fake news by the fact that no one knows the details. Because the details would show that there’s nothing to be outraged about. Damn leafy bringing the modicum of intelligence, bravo, Sir.
yeah! All women should be dressed in black binbags. As salamu my brother.
Zachary Parker
No way that fatty can wear a thong. It'd disappear in her rolls.
Nathaniel Bell
>its literally only other peoples fault if get raped >WHY DID I GET RAPED reminds me of peaceful Christians that walk through the middle east to prove they are peaceful too
