Happy Days

I saw a re-run of Happy Days and I was shocked. In this episode Richie's Father made Richie take out the daughter of someone he knew. Richie had his friend take her out and took her to some secluded location in his car and ripped off her dress while trying to get physical with her. She ran away at night in a ripped dress hitch-hiking to get away from this monster. So what was the punishment? Oh he said he was sorry and shook her hand and everyone was happy. It is mind blowing how society used to accept sexual assault as just boys being boys.

Western women are fast turning into a breed that's essentially worthless to anyone that's not sociopathic. Tattooed ho's yelling about some long gone "patriarchy" that obviously would have sectioned them into some kind of mental health program.

What about all the lies and false allegations by women?

Happy Days...

"So what was the punishment? Oh he said he was sorry and shook her hand and everyone was happy."

Should the young man's life have been ruined? He was punished, he was made to apologize. What do you think the punishment should be?

The TV show sounds like it shows a mature, even-handed and non-institutional response to what is a matter between individuals and families, not an institutional problem.

Were any Sheriffs or Judges involved in the TV show, or did the parties to the issue amicably resolve it without the state's involvement?

yup...

You do know television programming is fake right?

Telling you a vision by programming you.

Old saying goes like this.

If you sit by the rivers edge , eventually your enemies float by.

All of the fake allegations from women are counterproductive and actually taking power away from the people ( all genders included) who actually need help.

... comes around.

Meh

Yes, yes, all men are scum, violent rapists and predators, the lot of them...
We'd be nowhere without a victim complex. Got a good rotation going. Race wars, gender wars, class wars, religious wars, generational wars, culture wars, rinse, spin, repeat.
Garnish with personal grudges, cognitive biases, virtue signaling, snobbery, pretense, neuroticism, prejudice and bigotry to taste.
Without the outrage du jour, there'd be nothing to post, amirite? You just want validation for your agenda, whatever that is today, otherwise you wouldn't have bothered.
Today's selection - sexism is always valid as long as you're hating on dudes. Supporting material is...an obscure episode (no verifiable attribution) of an archaic show from decades ago? Really? How about something more relevant? Either "Red Sparrow" or "Mad Men" would have been better, among many, many others.
Is this a Friday, or a Wednesday? Even day? Month ending in "y"? It all blurs together now.
Yawn. Boring. Repetitive.
I'm going back to my newsfeeds and subs. Hardly ever learn anything here.

Amicably?

How is that possible without knowing what the woman who was assaulted felt? Would bet my life savings that crucial human detail was magically absent from the plot.
