Girl accuses stranger off Facebook of rape
- Thread starter Steedie
- Start date
I myself find it pretty strange that the same folks who'll state that less than 50% of allegations are followed through on also state that most woman are telling the truth despite the absence of evidence either way.
Woman may be shunned and dismissed when they make a rape allegation they cannot substantiate. Many of us have had experience with woman saying stuff when emotional they later back down from and some of us have experience with this even when we know it definitely is not true. I myself like to know before I throw either party under a bus.
Admitting there is another side of the story does not make someone a rape apologist, but failing to accept that some woman probably do drop their allegations because they know what they're doing is wrong does make you something just as bad. Trying to play down amounts because "you know" most people are telling the truth puts you on the same spectrum.
Anyway ignore herpderp, he's a white knight and will never really get it.

when they're beyond help is kinda the very last time you can put them in prison
for a high and mighty **** you're pathetically similar to the people you look down on when it comes to your views on mental illness.
It's amazing how simply from a tiny description of actions you've already established a full diagnosis. Good job ****wit.
you're aware Mademoiselle is a dude?

lol, best post i've read today.
I think your point might be flawed... male rapes do happen and false accusations of rape are, as you've said, very rare. I might as well go out on a limb here and guess that incidents of male rape are higher than incidents of false accusations of rape.
Where can I find this thread on mumsnet?
you'll find the reporting rate will also be significantly lower than female rape.
Again, there is no definitive proof of that. What was actually said is that the number of rapes accusations that are provenly false which the CPS believe it is in the public interest to follow up on is small. Presumably the numbers you can prove false that they don't follow up on are pretty low again, but those stats don't tell the whole story.
The logic failure everyone seems to be making is assuming every accusation made which isn't easily proven wrong is probably a true accusation. This goes against our culture, as in the eyes of the law we're innocent until proven guilty, thus all accusations that aren't prosecuted can easily be considered false accusations.
That seems to be a ridiculous accusation as I hope that most woman are resonable people and thus would imagine the majority of him vs her cases are probably true, but subscribing to the notion that men can be horrible and woman can't is accepting something that nobody has actually backed up as fact. Groupthink as it were.
It's anyone who doesn't toe the party line that all rape accusations are true, all woman are good, and most men are scum.
Thank you DUDE I understand now. I have never heard of that expression before.
Taken from here
"The simple answer is that a rape apology is any argument that boils down to the myth that rapists can be provoked into raping by what the victim does or does not do.
Such apologies feed off the old myth that rapists have no control over the sexual temptation they experience in response to the victim, therefore the victim could have avoided awakening the irresistible rape temptation by behaving differently. It’s classic victim-blaming".
Surely no one is that ****ing stupid to think that the victim of a rape is at fault or should be punished :-/.

No, they'll also call you a rape apologist if you suggest it's a bad idea for the weaker sex to go out, get wasted beyond belief, and then seperate from their herd.
Anyone who suggests that the same woman waking up next to a man the next morning when she doesn't remember the night before hasn't necessarily been raped and that the guy who could have been equally wasted isn't solely responsible for that situation.
Theres a pretty good chance that anyone who suggests you can have consentual sex without verbal consent is also a "rape apologist".
As I said, anyone who doesn't follow the part line exactly and thinks the issue might be a wee bit more complicated that extremely black and white.
Not a single person on the forum has said that afaik (no doubt they'd be banned if they did). What has happened is somebody has perhaps suggested that woman should still "be safe" (based on the above examples) when out and about and they have been accused of being a rape apologist.
The definition you're quoting seems perfectly resonable but the actual application is either wrong on purpose or they're the people using that term here are extremely ******* stupid.
p.s. np dude.
