An intersting angle. I dont remember how old that boy was. The fact is that when an adult male has sex with an female teen everyone cries murder even though the b!tch may have boobs big as melons while when a grown woman has sex with a teenage boy he's considered ... Lucky. Ours is the most sexist society on earth with the true vicim being the man, not the woman like the minority groups like to represent.

I recommend you do some research on other societies throughout history and even modern times before you go about saying the modern US is the most sexist society on Earth.

Maybe someone else will tell you about abused husbands and how they hide in their closets unless something dramatic happens, like those shootings that make it to the news. Think about how you abuse your hubby on a regular basis, yeah.

A man can be raped by a woman. The law no longer uses the word "rape" but instead specifies sexual assault in many forms as well as the lesser crime of seduction.
If a man says no, no means no, regardless of what the body says. You fail to consider that a minor cannot give lawful consent, whether male or female and regardless of whether or not they enjoy it. In fact, many rape victims need counseling to overcome their feelings of guilt at enjoying the rape more than sex with their spouse. Sexual contact may result in orgasm whether it was consensual or not. That is why this is not an allowable defense in a rape trial.
I'd also like to point out that many boys are fooled into thinking they must have been born gay just because they enjoyed the sexual contact of the molesting pedophile. This keeps them in shameful silence, thus the notion of "born gay" is a tool used by pedophiles.

Props to kedwa30 for introducing a note of nuance into what has become an acerbic discussion.

1. You refute a certain implied reference made above. For sake of clarity, I will plainly articulate that alluded-to principle: “If she / he enjoyed it, it isn’t rape.”
There are many degrees and methods of coercion; they do not all entail brute force. The offender could be as subtle as Mephistopheles. The victim might even derive considerable enjoyment from the act. But the fact remains that some factor, such as age or unwillingness, makes the act not completely consensual.

2. You refrain from generalizations about how corrupt / sexist / unjust some particular ethnic / religious / national / cultural group(s) / custom(s) is / are. Nothing and no one is singled out for rant.

3. You refrain from ill-wishes and personal slurs against any of the particular participants of the discussion who might disagree with you / others.

I call this commendable, worthy of emulation, a class act.

An erection does not prove consent. The body responds to being touched, not who's touching it.

At deepsight if you have sex with anybody under the age of majority it's statutory rape regardless of gender. Several female teachers have been convicted of it in recent years...As for the age of the kid I believe he was a teen ager because I believe Karl said something about the kid working at his father's mill in the summer or something like that. Don't quote me on that because I haven't seen the movie recently but I'm pretty sure he mentioned something about that...

"point taken".

Was this meant to be funny...

reply

By your reasoning, if a woman were to become wet during a sexual assault, which happens far more often than you would believe, then she would be implying consent.

Couldn't tell you how much I wanted to be that lucky as a kid. The answer is simple. MEN AND WOMEN ARE NOT NOW NOR WILL THEY EVER BE EQUAL. the quicker you learn that the better.

I thought that Karl had said the boy was 'about' his own age. I don't know what that means to Karl, it could be 1 year older or 5 years older I suppose.

I didn't have the impression that Jesse Dixon was a young boy. Karl's dad worked for Jesse's dad who was said to be mean old man. I thought Jesse was an adult.

Karl said at one point that he made "quite a bit of sport of him down at the schoolhouse", which led me to believe he was within a few years age.

I tend to agree, I thought similarly. But I suppose it could also mean that he was older and just hung out outside the schoolhouse. Such as hanging out with kids that were young and impressionable, or looking for targets such as Karl.
I remember there being older kids like that near our high school. Druggie losers mostly.

I live about 15 minutes from where the movie was filmed. The small towns around here that have a school lump several grades into one building, and K-12 is all on one campus (use same library, gym, cafeteria). So the boy could have been a senior and still be at the same campus or possibly even the same building.

reply

Karl says in his opening monologue that Jesse Dixon used to make quite a bit of sport of him down at the schoolhouse and take advantage of the little girls in the neighborhood. In a little one horse town all grades might have attended one schoolhouse. If Jesse Dixon was cruel, he might have humiliated Karl when Karl was eight or nine and Jesse himself was seventeen or eighteen. If Karl was, say, twelve when he caught his mother making whoopie with Jesse on the kitchen floor, Jesse might have been anywhere from nineteen to twenty-one years old. That's the impression I always got. Jesse was a late adolescent or a young man when Karl murdered him while Mrs. Childers was in her early or mid-thirties.

reply

Didn't Carl's boss say of Jesse Dixon, "Aw, hell, I always wanted to kill that ol' boy myself?" I gather "boy" was not used to describe a child.

No, Jesse Dixon wasn't Karl's age... Scooter from the Repair Shop said he hated Jesse as a kid, and Scooter was probably in his late 20s/early 30s when Karl began working there... which would make Jesse Dixon about 18-20 according to the timeline (assuming Scooter was a few grades below Jesse, which it seems like he would be.. a freshman in high school bullied by a senior).

I am watching this again for the millionth time right now, so I'm just thinking as I go...

reply

I think Jesse Dixon was about 18-20 who hung around the schoolhouse to mess with the little girls there. Remember Karl said he took advantage of the girls around the area so he was pedophile not a child.

I always get pissed off whenever Karl tells the story of his mom *beep* Jesse, the fact she's doing the son of her husband's boss and the fact that Jesse was a rich *beep* It almost justifies Karl's actions to me, to kill them both.

reply

Karl said the boy was 16, four years older than himself. Pedophilia is an attraction to children, not teens.

reply

"I killed my mom and a good ol' boy named Jesse Dixon" is how he explained it to Linda.
I could be wrong but 'good ol' boy refers to an adult male no ? I'm from NY so if I'm way off base, pardon my ignorance ...
