We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Rapists deserve the whip or cane
Rape is about domination and low self worth. They need to be locked up to protect the public, put in therapy and rehabilitation if possible.
That can come afterwards
I was thinking of fran over the weekend. Something my wife said reminded me of the show.
“In January 1985, two armed men broke into Drescher and Jacobson's Los Angeles apartment. While one ransacked their home, Drescher and a female friend were raped by the other robber at gunpoint. Jacobson was tied up and witnessed the ordeal. It took Drescher many years to recover, and it took her even longer to tell her story to the press.
It's under the "Personal Life" section.
I was a kid when "The Nanny" was on, and it definitely didn't fit my interest at the time.
But going back and watching it years later , I developed some respect for Fran Drescher. She really is an impressive woman and comic.
I'm with you. She's especially great at physical comedy. Reminds me a lot of Lucille Ball in I Love Lucy. Not to mention, she's a complete 90s fashion icon.
Her later work as president of the Screen Actor's Guild showing solidarity and striking with the writers made me a fan before I ever watched the show.
Wow great comparison I never thought of that.
Same with DS9s Nana Visitor I hope the men that did that rot in hell
You should have put the body of the post in the title. I thought you learned that they exist.
That being said I didn't find what you are talking about in the linked article.
Damn, did OP just divulge inside knowledge?
yeah she's also antivaxx. and also this
in 2018, Drescher attended a fundraiser gala for Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces (FIDF), which raised $60 million.[66] Drescher received the COVID-19 vaccinebut opposes vaccine mandates
Wait, how is getting vaccinated but opposing the government forcing people to get vaccinated "antivaxx"?
Sounds to me like she just wants her bodily autonomy to be respected... unsurprisingly, given the title of this post?
And you get upvotes too for this weird comment. Mega weird.
she's also heavily anticapitalist, is a cancer survivor and outspoken advocate for women's early-screening for gynecologic cancer.
and she's also ordained as a minister to perform lgbtq weddings.
its almost like humans are complex creatures and have both flaws and strengths.
and that besides, why are you bringing up your points when this is about her being raped? that's quite disturbing to me.
is the point to say she deserves it? I'm trying to think of another reason why and coming up short.
