As Andrew Tate languishes in jail, a new celebrity anti-feminist creator is filling the gap. Unlike him, she's a woman. - Hannah Pearl Davis (26) has podcast 'The Pregame' where she debates with & criticizes feminists, praises Tate's teachings, & presents herself as a rare champion for a male POV. source

I Hung A Jury (TW-Rape)

TRIGGER WARNING - RAPE

Throwaway account for privacy reasons. DM's are off, don't waste time with the RedditCares, boys.

Middle aged woman, US based. I was selected to sit on the jury for a rape case last week.

I take doing jury duty extremely seriously. It is a very important civic duty and I don't complain about being called to serve. I served on a jury in a death penalty case in the past. I did not want to serve on this particular jury when I heard what it involved, but I was selected.

The defendant and the victim were both teenagers at the time of the incident; the defendant was being tried as an adult (three years later). No physical evidence, only the testimony of the two individuals involved and three police officers involved in the investigation(s) There were other things involved that we didn't get to hear about; one was brought up and the defense attorney threw a huge fit and got it struck from the record, others were alluded to but never fleshed out.

We had to decide based solely on our own interpretations of the stories and credibility of the witnesses.

I listened very carefully, without bias, to all of the testimony. I made my decision only after hearing all of the judge's instructions and then spending that night (sleeping very little) considering everything.

My decision? He raped her and he did it forcefully. She told him she did not want to have sex - repeatedly, before he did it and while he was doing it. She was stuffed into the corner of a back seat of a small coupe with a body much larger than hers on top of her. She couldn't get away. He raped her until finally he listened to her, stopped and took her home.

I was the only one of 12 who voted guilty. And I got abused for it. I was accused of ignoring the judges' instructions, that I had made my mind up before the defendant even testified. One (very) old man told me that I had to vote not guilty because everyone else had reasonable doubt (senile much????). Another old man talked over me every time I spoke. Several other people interrupted while I was trying to make points (if the one old dude wasn't already talking over me). Most of them couldn't understood that force does not have to include violence or even the threat of violence. Two of the WOMEN even insisted that her getting into the back seat of the car was consent, didn't matter that she repeatedly told him that she did not want to have sex.

Surprisingly enough, I held my temper. I didn't yell. I didn't use personal attacks in any of my arguments, despite being attacked repeatedly (I had a whole list of names I wanted to call them in my head). I very quietly and firmly told them I did not appreciate how they were acting and that I was not going to continue to discuss this if they could not do so as adults.

They could not. The old men continued their antics, but I worked for years in male dominated industries. I'm not a doormat. I stopped being a people pleaser a long time ago. IDGAF what they think about me. I knew I was right. I stood my ground.

The jury foreperson sent a note to the judge.

The judge made us come back after a lunch break and continue deliberating. We listened to a reading of the testimony again. I listened intently, with an open mind, trying to catch anything that might give me some reasonable doubt.

My decision was not changed. We attempted to discuss it further and it was obvious that they weren't going to walk over me like they were the other women on the panel. We went back to the courtroom and the judge declared a mistrial.

Afterwards, I spoke to someone from the DA's office. I told her everything, including the fact that I had strongly considered not coming back from lunch that day. Then I walked out to my truck and stood there smoking a cigarette. I needed some time to settle down before driving home.

I wish all the tradwife women and alpha male men could marry each other and leave regular people alone.

I constantly see “tradwife” conservative Christian women and “alpha male” Andrew Tate loving men complain on TikTok and Twitter about other people not following traditional gender roles. These women will complain incessantly about feminine men wearing skirts or being feminist or being generally immasculine, and these men will complain about modern women being unfeminine, blue haired, child-hating sluts.

So why don’t these two groups of people just date each other? They clearly have what the other group wants. They could just search “tradwife” into the TikTok search bar and find someone who fits the bill for them. Why don’t they just leave normal people alone?
