Feminist reaction to kesha contract trial shows why it's scary to be accused of rape.

That's the thing tho. He's not making millions of her. So long as she refuses to release music he will not make a penny. It's clearly a control thing for Dr. Luke. It's out of spite.

And Dr. Luke is not innocent. He may not be guilty of rape, but he certainly isn't innocent.
What I believe is, is that if someone is at war with you and it's affecting your finances and livelihood than all is fair that comes out of your war chest.

You need to understand that it's a different game for celebrities. If it was any pedestrian case, it would definitely be too much. But if Dr Luke didn't do it, the chances of him seeing an indictment is zero. The worst that will come out of it is that his reputation is ruined, it will affect future business endeavours, but he's not gonna go broke like Kesha. She could end his career tomo and still be sitting on his millions.

Apparently he's going. I'm guessing this entire issue is all sorted now? Apart from the rape allegations, surely she'd maintain his guilt.

precisely. if you're going to use "innocent until proven guilty", then don't assume Kesha is guilty of lying.

This is ****ing ridiculous.

There's no way a man's life is being ruined over this. All his hard work, all gone. His reputation worse than anyone's.

There was no proof. Kesha said under oath it didn't happen. Yet because of the feminist-run twitter, Sony give in and plan to drop him. I do hope this is only mere rumours. The worst thing they could've done, basically saying to twitter "If you feminists moan enough, you'll get what you want". This is disgusting. If he's not guilty, like all the evidence, or lack thereof, suggests, then society really is ****ed.

A women, can say you raped her, and your life's ruined. Yet we supposedly live in a patriarchy. My word. I hope everyone that has campaigned for Kesha is happy, ruining someone's life for your own selfish needs.

Someone is actually saying to me he has to prove he didn't do it, that is what feminists want guilty until proven innocent.

I'm so considerate when is comes to opposing political views to me, because it's all opinion and I respect that. But the majority of feminist ideologies are so idiotic that they're potentially damaging to society.

All we need is a famous women to pretend to be a feminist, and debunk all their myths live on tv, on a really popular chat show or news channel. Then they might finally accept it.

Feminists also ignore male arguments against feminism, which is beyond stupid but you can understand their reasonings. If you're dumb enough to think all men are oppressing you, you'd probably also ignore them telling you they're not oppressing you.

Microsoft have now dropped Luke, even though there's no evidence that he did anything.

So now basically, if a woman wants to get out of a contract, they just say they were sexually assaulted?

Sony is the name of the music label. Microsoft is not a music label.

disgusting behaviour from sony.

So appalling, holding someone to their contractual obligations and even worse offering her someone else to work with. The shame!Posted from TSR Mobile

I meant for dropping dr Luke....

I didn't even get past the first page of posts before wanting to scream. This is actually a rather disgusting thread and some of the things I have read are incredibly ignorant.

Those who are saying "Oh, a woman only has to say rape and a guy is in jail, life ruined" I'd like to tell you that statistically, sexual offences have THE lowest conviction rate in criminal law. It is incredibly difficult to prove, and the strong victim-blaming attitude that the vast majority of society still hold is a contributory factor.

I support Ke$ha. It is so hard to prove rape in a criminal court, especially given the standard of proof that is required, both in the USA and UK. It's one victim's testimony against the defendant's, and it's up to some very intelligent advocates to test the credibility of the witness and the defendant to sway the jury's decision. A civil court has a much lower standard of proof, (on the balance of probabilities) and so, the fact she has gone to a civil court, to get out of her contract, is a much more achievable aim, and you cannot blame her for trying. Nobody but Ke$ha and the producer know's what really happened, so it is not our place to call her a liar or him a rapist at this point. However, on the balance of probabilities, that judge should have relieved her from the contract in my opinion, the judge would not have needed to give any damages to Ke$ha from the producer or sony, it would not instantly brand the producer a rapist, it would just allow Ke$ha to be released from a contract, which really isn't that terrible. (I'm doing a degree in law, albeit how I think the case should have been decided is my opinion and I appreciate that)

Also, the posts I read that were disrespectful to feminism, you are strongly confusing misandry with feminism. They are two completely different political concepts and you seriously need to educate yourself in order to give an opinion that is worth listening to. And saying that feminists aren't logical? That is a huge generalisation and one I strongly disagree with.
