One of the more interesting arguments presented by some of the supporters of Keith Alan Raniere is that, if the genders had been reversed, if the leader was a woman and men were branded slaves, this would not have been a criminal case.
Even if the men had been branded on their groins and gave collateral, the supporters of Raniere say, no one would take it seriously.
Even if men started crying, saying they are victims, people would say, ‘After all, you are grown adults. Be responsible for your own actions.’
The supporters of Raniere even simulate a discussion of what the prosecutor would say to a branded male who cried he is a victim:
Prosecutor: “So the Mistress lied to you and did not tell you the brand on your cock is her initials and not the symbol of the four elements. So what? You were the fool that lied down naked and let someone brand you.”
Slave: “But I was ordered to seduce the Mistress when I was not attracted to her and I had to do it because she had collateral on me.”
Prosecutor: “Too bad, dude. You put yourself in that position.” (more...)
