I think the part that has me so very disgusted is how so many people seem to be falling back on the old "she was asking for it" argument. At 13 years of age, she'd been drunk before, she'd tried quaaludes once when she "was real little," and she wasn't a virgin. SO CLEARLY all of this excuses Polanski, really, because she was just a Lolita slut anyway. And I just want to bang my head against something (which I will not do, because while yesterday's headache is gone, today things in my head still hurt) because none of this eradicates the fact that NO. MEANS. NO. And I am so very thoroughly disgusted with how many WOMEN have taken this douchenozzle's side.
