Absolutely! It's his vile attitude of trying to play the victim 'I thought she'd agreed...' No, she didn't. A drugged, unconscious woman is not capable of saying so.

Glasses are great! You will forever look supremely intelligent.

She is incredible. She shines a light on the failings of not just the French rape laws but also on what the dregs of society will do when they think they won't get caught. I hope she manages to find peace and the scumbag is punished.

Monochrome photograph taken looking up at a limestone sculpture of two male figures wrestling. Dark tree line behind and pale sky overhead. Taken at Studley Royal Water Gardens which is a World Heritage site in Yorkshire.

Sculpture is of Hercules and Antaeus. Hercules is the hero and the dominant larger figure. Son of Jupiter and the mortal Alcmena, Hercules is famous for his strength and adventures.

Antaeus is the smaller figure. King of Libya, son of Gaia (personification of Mother Earth) and Poseidon (god of the sea). He was notorious for challenging strangers to wrestling matches they would never win. He would restore his energy by touching the ground (Mother Earth).

Hercules wins this wrestling match by lifting Antaeus up so he couldn't touch the ground to replenish his strength.
