Wow.
And double-wow.
What is wrong with you guys?
I get that you like LJ, but do one of you guys know this woman?
DH, you stood on your podium and insisted that nobody knows that Larry did this. But now, you just know that this woman is some lying whore?
Really?
How do you expect anyone to take you seriously, if you can act like it's so wrong to be judgmental, then post this?
Just wow.
For the 'apples and oranges' theory, everything is different. If apples and oranges can't be compared to each other, then what can?
When you make comparisons about things that are different, you base your comparisons based on the way that two things are similar.
Apples have seeds. Oranges have seeds. Apples are fruit. Oranges are fruit. Apples grow on trees. Oranges grow on trees. A man forces unwanted contact on a woman. Another man forces unwanted contact on a woman.
Apples are red. Oranges are orange.
Yup, they are different. But this apple is bigger than that apple, so they are different too.
The concept of "apples and oranges" is really nothing more than a way of not discussing anything.
I suggest that we can compare apples to cats.
If there is some similarity between LJ shoving some woman by her face, and some man raping a woman, then the two can be compared. While, the differences overwhelm the similarities in degree, the similarities can still be shown.
I'd say that making that comparison is mis-leading, but not completely inaccurate, as it has some similarities.
I find it to be mis-leading, because of how extreme some of the differences are.
Kinda like comparing apples to armageddon. But apples and oranges have a whole lot in common.
