Helen Mirren Talks About Rape....Again
Back in September, Helen Mirren gave an interview to GQ Magazine and admitted that she'd been date raped a couple of times. She also made a bunch of people burn their DVD copies of "Prime Suspect" when she said that if a woman goes to bed with a dude and changes her mind at the last minute, the woman shouldn't take the dude to court if she gets raped. Helen believes it's something that should be worked out between them. You know, with a game of rock, paper, scissors. Something like that.
Well, Dame Helen is talking about rape again! She really knows how to clear a room.
In an interview with a female journalist for The Sunday Times, Helen starts off by explaining why she would rather be interviewed by a dude than by a chick. She says, "No, it’s more that I prefer male journalists because there’s a streak of female journalism — the bitches — who are mean-spirited and nasty because you are another woman and want to make you feel crap. It’s very upsetting. I’m more careful when I’m being interviewed by a woman because, from experience as well as reading articles about other women, I know there is a little stiletto knife hidden behind the back."
Point taken. Helen then gets into everyone's favorite subject: rape.
Helen thinks a mostly female jury won't convict a male rapist, because women are sexually jealous of other women. Helen says that the defense team try to get as many chicks on the jury as possible " because women go against women." She went on to say, "Whether in a deep-seated animalistic way, going back billions of years, or from a sense of tribal jealousy or just antagonism, I don't know. But other women on a rape case would say she was asking for it. The only reason I can think of is that they're sexually jealous."
Vera Baird, a British politician, immediately responded to Helen's comments: "This is just such an ignorant thing to say, to suggest that the defense or prosecution have any involvement in the selection of a jury. I do not know what she is talking about, women hating women. This is a vast generalization based on nothing, but unfortunately it is likely to have a deterrent effect."
Please, please, please, Helen! You're making everyone cry with your personal thoughts about rape. If you're going to talk about this shit, then come prepared with years of research you have done, pie charts, Powerpoint presentations, etc...etc...
I would drink a cup of Helen's lukewarm bathwater, so I'm just going to hang my head and file this under: Not Today, Helen. And then I'm going to go watch the PUPPIES!!! They make everything better.

I'm surprised at her. Females are, more often than not, supportive of other women yet she prefers a male interviewer? Everyone knows men think with their peens and not their brains. And date rape? Happened to me 2x. Pro baseballers (who else?), both pitchers (one major leage, one minor league...both first initial D). A verrry unpleasant thing yet Mirren wasn't complaining. Does she strap one on at the end of the day?
Another classic example of a celeb who's had smoke blown up their arse for so long that they think everything they say and do is right however ludicrous and offensive (please see Angelina giving her kids knives). And defense and prosecution lawyers certainly do not have any say in the selection of a jury in the UK, its a random selection of people and therefore hopefully representative. People are only excluded from the jury if they know the victim or perpetrator or have been exposed to media reports which may prejudice their opinion. So I think the lesson from this Helen is, just because you've played a cop in a well-known tv drama doesnt mean you know shit about the legal system. My general view of actors is that they went to drama school rather than college on the whole and their lack of education frequently shines through in their many and varied ill-informed opinions. Plus my view is that women would be far more likely to sympathise with a victim or rape rather than judge her. Rape is pretty much every woman's worst nightmare and no woman would wish it on another however she conducted herself prior to it. So Helen, please stop talking out of your arse.
Shs just looooves her some date rape dont she?

Women can be hard on other women, that is true. It is unfair to neglect to mention however that men are also subject to feelings of sexual competition and jealousy. What does she think most bar fights are about? As well some of us are thinking humans who refuse to pander to our base instincts. We can override undesirable evolutionary impulses and treat one another fairly if we want to.

"Going gray is like ejaculating. You know it can happen prematurely, but when it actually does, it's a total shock." MAH BOO!!!
She's sorta right in some ways about the hidden knife behind the backs, but I'm sure there are plenty of all female juries that would convict most rapists. If the evidence were there, I'd have no problem convicting.
I read that defense attorneys in a rape case LIKE to have female jurors who are aronnd the victim's age because they can put themselves in her shoes and say to themselves "well, I wouldn't have done that..." and they DON'T like male jurors who have daughters especially daughters around the victim because they are likely to think, "If that bastard did that to my daughter, I'd kill him"...
However, prosecutors don't mind mothers of daughters from what I remember. So, I don't think it's a jealousy thing so much as we expect people like us to act a certain way, and when they don't, we question why they didn't and did that contribute to the outcome? I'm not sure women really do that more than men, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did. It's a form of prejudice but I don't believe it's motivated by jealousy or hatred, just environment/social norms.
Meh, in any event, she needs to shut her pie hole already.

I gots to agree with the men here (there I go, backstabbing the ladies!), Sheeps & Stockbroker. In America, the attorneys have a huge say in who's on the jury. And I've known many catty women: women who instantly give you the evil side-eye immediately upon meeting you, women who will flirt with your husband right in front of you, etc. Women have appalling behavior. (But not the lovely DL sluts!)
