A list of \\\"partial aversions\\\" with lots of natter. This one needs to be cleaned up into clear straight examples, if any exist here. I can\\\'t see one. Mostly it seems like editorializing. ExampleIndentation: the first sub-example should be in a double star, the triple-star stuff is not sub-sub-examples and shouldn\\\'t be in triple stars. Double/triple stars are not the equivalent of paragraph breaks and we don\\\'t want examples going ThreadMode: this is an article, not a forum thread.
* {{Rape Is Ok When It Is Female on Male}}: The unit tries to disprove this common trope (after three Wall Street higher-ups females gang rape a male dancer after a party in one of their apartments to which they hired him [[spoiler: and two kill the one who repented * and* wanted to turn herself in]]), but Fin * still* cracked jokes about it and Elliot found it hard to believe. Also, despite dealing with this issue several times, SVU still manages to be surprised and confused every time it pops up. In general, the crew tends to be \\\'\\\'openly sympathetic\\\'\\\' to female offenders if the victim is male.
** They did it again when a woman seduced a slew of famous men, drugged them with GHB, and stimulated them with a \\\'\\\'cattle prod\\\'\\\'. The looks of horror on Fin and Stabler\\\'s faces were \\\'\\\'priceless\\\'\\\'.
** Slightly averted in the episode \\\"Head\\\". When an illegally planted toilet camera records footage of a young boy being sexually assaulted, the cops are shocked to realize the assailant\\\'s a woman (they can\\\'t see her face, but notice her manicured nails). It is treated with the proper seriousness and respect such a matter deserves, until we find out the reason for the woman\\\'s behavior [[spoiler: she has a brain tumor that is destroying her impulse control, a sympathy-inducing reason that I doubt would have been used were she male and/or her victim female]].
*** She also sexually assaulted Stabler which somehow started her sympathetic portrayal, can you imagine that happening if someone assaulted Benson?
*** Actually, there have been male perps with sympathy-inducing medical reasons for what they do - in one episode a horrific killer became somewhat tragic after it was revealed his brain had been destroyed by syphilis, and in another episode a male assailant was revealed to have damaged impulse control owing to head trauma caused by years of child abuse.
** Another episode had a variation where a college girl accused two other students of raping her. The crew arrests them both, but then find out that the girl was openly flirting with them and it was completely consensual. Charges are dropped, but the two boys she accused are left expelled from NYU, with one\\\'s parents rather reasonably demanding she be reprimanded. The crew of course are very reluctant to punish her for this, even before they find she has Bipolar Disorder. \\\'\\\'Baseless accusations of rape are okay when its female on male\\\'\\\'.
*** Every character\\\'s behavior in that episode was completely bizarre. Later in the episode, she attempts to kill herself by crashing her car. On a busy sidewalk. She injures about a dozen people and kills a 14 year old girl. Every single character is completely sympathetic to her. The same people who rant about how ridiculous every single male rapists\\\' attempts to use the insanity defense buy hers hook, line, and sinker.
*** They were expelled for having sex during school time which was against the rules. She was too, but it was easier to miss. [[InferredHolocaust Never mind the long-term effects the false accusation of rape will have on the boys.]] [[UnfortunateImplications One of them, who happens to be black...]]

Basically, she\\\'s not acting out of character, as this is a new starfire basically, think of her as the \\\"ultimate\\\" universe starfire. Much like the ultimate Hank Pym beat the living hell out of Jan unlike 616 Hank Pym when he just hit her once and partly not meaning ot.
