I know it's not. It's a civic and moral duty. But that's the media spin and thats why men are comfortable sitting on the sidelines and taking the "this is an extreme aberration" stance.

Those headlines put the focus on the husband and ignore the other men.

It's like sex tourists sexually abusing children in southeast Asia.

In the end, sex trafficking wouldn't be a viable profession if there wasn't a market for it and very lax laws and very malleable law enforcement in regards to rape and sexual exploitation.

The husband in this case, is acting like a sex trafficker or a pimp, offering samplers (since there wasn't an exchange of money) , but the behavior and moral failure is exactly thrle same as a trafficker or a pimp.

And we either have to believe that none of these men picked up on that or they just didn't care.

Kind of like how pastor Bob goes to Cambodia on a Christian outreach program, gets led to the red light district by "God" and then makes a mistake in judgement that embarrasses his family. But he repents his sin so he has the Lord's forgiveness and it's all good now.

How many times do we have to see this same dynamic play out again and again and again?

And really. Where's the difference?

Revenge on the husband would be to be immured as a slow torture public execution after cutting his vocal cords so his screams will be silenced, requiring the press to be present every day so they learn how their framing further harms women and can whatbits like to be trapped and have your agency stolen.

The 70 to 90 men get to lay the bricks, and every day bring the food and water, just enough so he doesn't starve or die of dehydration so they can see in stark relief what they did to this woman in a way that they can finally understand because they can't ignore the humanity for self gratification. They get to participate in the slow destruction of another human being they can actually see as a fellow human being.

That's what real revenge would look like.

There's not going to be revenge. And no one is seeking it.

Accountability is not revenge.
