We Do Not Live in a Rape Culture in the U.S.!

[Sososinaxoxo]

I cannot believe what the leftist are serving today.

The news is buzzing with this Christine Blasey Ford case.

It's getting a spark from the media.

Two words for this.

Oh boy!

Okay, let's dig in to my favorite meal called

Left wings...

1. "We need to end rape culture!"

What rape culture?

Last I checked rapists are arrested and sent to prison.

Rape is not praised here in America.

It is not supported nor is it rewarded.

By anyone with emotion intelligence anyway.

Rape culture does not exist here.

Rape is not normal and it shouldn't be.

2. "Always believe the victim first"

I believe the victim when there is evidence or any reliable type of proof that it happened.

If not than it will be very difficult for me to help you.

Sometimes the sex is completely consensual.

But the next day the woman or man will get embarrassed, or maybe they cheated on their lover, and now they claim it was rape to save face.

These things happen.

It's awful how a false allegation can ruin someone's life.

We do not live in a rape culture.

Rape can happen.

I was actually sexually abused as a child.

I know how it is.

The thing is everyone does have have a word and a right to say no,

Just don't lie.

When you lie it makes it harder for other actual victims to get help.

Because with some of these false allegations it makes it harder to believe them.

No, one believed me.

I never asked for help.

I got justice for myself, and I feel damn good about it.

I want other actual victims to do the same.

Thank you for reading!

Tell everybody and their mama about this take! ^_^

[SirRexington]

While I doubt there has a rape 'culture' there are definitely places in the US where it is rather high. Alaska being the worst and then basically every southeast state, I should know, I live in one. I've known so many women who have been raped, they never told anyone and I still don't understand why. But it happens.

It's theorised that 70-85% of rape is unreported. Worse, about only 3-18% get convicted, any number of reasons why but that's not the point.

So is there rape epidemic or a rape culture? No, of course not. But we still need to take rape more serious. They includes women who don't come forward as soon as possible.

[Sososinaxoxo]

I agree but my point is that it's not rewarded.
It's awful that it happens but the rapists are still punished unlike other places.

[SirRexington]

What?

[Sososinaxoxo]

What?

[SirRexington]

You said that you agreed, but that "it" wasn't rewarded. What is "it" and why should or shouldn't it be rewarded.

Then you said that it's awful that it happens but that the rapists are punished unlike other places.

1: it sounds almost like they shouldn't be based off of how you worded your response.
2: what are the "other" places you are referring to?

[Sososinaxoxo]

Rape is not rewarded here.
I'm talking about in third world countries.
Women aren't even allowed to get a proper education and rape is not even wrong there.
That's what I'm talking about.
I meant that rape is awful.
But false allegations are even worse.
#Stoplying

[SirRexington]

I'm sorry, I hate the MeToo movement an it pisses me off the when feminists shout their "wamen can't lie, cis patriarchal scum" but actually being raped is worse than being accused of it. Is it slander? Yes. Is it potentially career ending? Yes. And that is bullshit. But actually being forcibly raped? No. Thats worse.

[Sososinaxoxo]

That's true my bad.
But I think it's equal.
You are ruining someone's can you imagine the death threats they get a day? All for what a lie.
I'm speaking up for those who can't.
Just tell the truth and if you can't than don't say anything at all.

[SirRexington]

Definitely something we have seemed to forget

[SirRexington]

Thank you for MHO!

[Sososinaxoxo]

You're welcome!

[jacquesvol]

@Sososinaxoxo Ah? Rape is not rewarded?
That's good news.

[Sososinaxoxo]

@jacquesvol What?

[Sososinaxoxo]

You need to worry about what's on TV land old man leave me alone

[JimRSmith]

Thanks for posting this.

Nowhere in the West is there a 'rape culture', although Angela Merkel, in her overarching stupidity, did her level best to import one.

[JimRSmith]

Thanks for MHO

[Sososinaxoxo]

You're welcome! ^_^

[jacquesvol]

@Sososinaxoxo
Here are stats: www.rainn.org/statistics/criminal-justice-system

[ClassyMe]

Omg finally somebody with fommon sense. Good for you! To be fair some of those same SJW who cry "rape culture" are the same ones who would lie about rape because they didn't need like a guy or they would freak out because the sky is blue and is too "masculine" for them. There is literally no "rape culture" in the USA and has never been one before. These people don't know what rape culture is. They should look into the Congo if they want to know about actual rape culture.

[Sososinaxoxo]

Thank you!

[jacquesvol]

Sososinaxoxo wrote rape is not rewarded...

[Sososinaxoxo]

@jacquesvol Yes, and it's not rewarded!

Nice mytake

[MikeAndMolly]

We don't live in a culture that glorifies rape, but there exist sections of our country which overly sexualize women and downplay the significance of consent.

We live in a culture where certain types of blurry consent are considered ordinary, where getting a girl drunk is a "tactic" and not a crime, and where women are assumed by friends, family, and random strangers to be lying about it unless there is undue evidence.

I personally know about over half a dozen rapes that happened while I was attending a particular university, which I only went to for one year. I know far too much about those cases to discount them as anything other than rape.

No one was prosecuted for those crimes.

My sister, my girlfriend, and my best friends mom have all been sexually assaulted. I know none of them talked about it or even thought of pressing charges for years afterwards. I know they all faced people who didn't believe them when they shared their stories. I know they all faced people who thought they could tell them what to do or how they're supposed to feel about it.

I know three men who have all told me stories about their "sexual exploits" that include examples of blurry consent and occasionally border on sexual assault. I know that it's not uncommon to talk about "grabbing them by the pussy" and that that really is how a lot of men talk in "locker room" style environments when they're trying to sound macho.

I know that sort of atmosphere and collective attitude has an effect on how we treat women in private, that it makes a man less likely to take a girl's reluctance at face value, that it makes a man more likely to push boundaries and try to argue instead of being respectful.

I know that many or even most people who are being harassed or assaulted don't really register what's happening at the time. I know that violent responses don't always occur to those people, or work even if they do occur to them.

I know that this isn't just a few monsters ignoring social values. It's fathers and brothers, best friends and acquaintances, it's that nice guy who walked you home, then walked a little further and stole a kiss or a grope or both, because he thought you owed him.

It's the way we tell people to just stick their chin up and carry on.

That's rape culture.

[ATuairiscean]

I agree and disagree with you - I believe a lot of issues have become swamped in this left/right divide with both sides claiming the other side has gone over the top - The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
A look at some of your points
(1) I think the true meaning of the term "Rape Culture" before it was misconstrued for their own ends by both sides is around the issue of consent - "She/He dressed like a stripper, of course She/He wanted it", "She/He has dated 35 Guys/Girls of course She/He is a goer", "She was drunk/stoned, she didn't say yes but she didn't say no either" - It is a subtle redefinition of context but important. Also a somewhat reluctant partner "C'mon, C'mon, C'mon everybody has sex, don't be a prude, nobody is a virgin after 17". "Tired, headache for F***'s sake I'll be quick"
That said everything you also said is true.
(2) Always believe the victim - I am in much more agreement with you here - An allegation has to be taken seriously but somehow investigated fully by the system with measures in place to believe the victim and innocent until proven guilty. There are measures in some jurisdictions of granting anonymity to victim maybe the same for accused and closed investigation/court (basically no reporting) until verdict is given.
(3) Your last point is so true that false allegations hurt genuine victims. This is the dilemma do you start from a base that every allegation is possibly true or possibly false, I think every reasonable minded person would say you have to start from "Possibly True" maybe as I mentioned earlier how it is processed is more important the more under cover the better for the innocent among the accused.
As with a lot of my topical answers in shall we say "Grey Areas", I give cold logical ideal answers and either side can rip my answer apart by giving nightmare scenario examples but in the main we have to protect the majority that is why I say start from the base of "Possibly True" for all allegations.

[WalterRadio]

Kavanaugh is the victim in this media circus. Ford should go to prison for defamation.

I will note that Ford has not accused anyone of raping her. She claims she was being wrestled with and thought she might be raped. She does not claim she was beaten. She doesn't claim anyone put a knife or gun to her. The substance of the accusation is trivial.

But that doesn't matter. The man-hating feminists on the left are out to destroy social cohesion and civilization along with it.

Liberals believe that women (and also blacks) are too stupid to take responsibility for their own actions and therefore should be treated as little children and held accountable.

Their whole pro-abortion drum beating isn't about "choice", as women made their choice. It is about getting out of the responsibility and avoiding accountability for their choice. Oh, but no such privilege is available for men and they will scream bloody murder if someone suggests men should have the same privilege.

There are women who are raped in the worst sense of the word. Their attackers should be sent to prison and caned. But something close to 90% of rape "victims" were accomplices in their own crime by voluntarily consuming alcohol or drugs. You don't leave the keys in your car running in Chula Vista overnight and expect it to be there in the morning.

We need to step back and hold women accountable for their own actions. If a woman voluntarily went with a man to a private bedroom and they are drunk, it isn't rape. It is mutual stupidity.

If a woman falsely accuses a man of rape, send her to jail.

Stop treating women like kindergarteners.

[Rissyanne]

We need to start accusing all these liberals of rape.

[WalterRadio]

@Rissyanne
Let's start with Bill Clinton. Oh wait, he was accused of rape, but the Democrats who were in charge refused to consider it.

[Rissyanne]

Yes and they treated his victims like shit

[mobligator]

You simply don't know your history. In December 1998, Clinton's Democratic political party was in the minority in both chambers of Congress. A few Democratic members of Congress, and most in the opposition Republican Party, claimed that Clinton's giving false testimony and allegedly influencing Lewinsky's testimony were crimes of obstruction of justice and perjury and thus impeachable offenses.

[ShesAmerican]

No offense and all, but who are you to decide whether ‘rape culture’ is real or not?

Rape exists no matter where you are. Just because it’s illegal and abnormal doesn’t mean people are going to listen and not commit the crime. It’s kind of ignorant to assume that rapists get arrested. Yes they do, but not always. There are even cases where a rapist would be sent to court and get released after that, and believe it or not there are sick-minded people who support the rape culture.

And those people who lie about getting raped are completely wrong. They shouldn’t even part of the movement to begin with, and how can you be so sure if someone is lying or not? the people who are opposed to rape culture are mainly focusing on how and why rape victims should speak up and how to cope with their traumas. And some people don’t listen to rape victims right? Well that’s one of the purposes and they’re trying to change that to make people listen to their problems rather than just assuming that they’re lying.

[Sososinaxoxo]

Who are you to tell me what I should and shouldn't believe?

[ShesAmerican]

I never said that?

[Anonymous]

People who say that "rape culture" shit are fucking retarded. As for the dumb "my little dress does not mean yes" sign, I can't believe these retards still can't comprehend it. The whole "I want to dress like a whore with no consequences" attitude is beyond childish. Do we think short dresses mean "rape me"? No. But do rapists care what the victim wants? NO, thats why its called fucking RAPE. And just like having money doesn't mean "rob me", if you put on a gold chain, a $500 000 suit and a $2000 cell phone and start walking through the ghetto, chances are, your ass is going to get stabbed, shot and definitely ROBBED. Are we a robbing culture as well? No. But we are also not retards so that we ignore the fact that criminals exist. Always have and always will. And also, criminals will always do what they want to do. If you want to avoid encountering them, you shouldn't intentionally make yourself easy prey. For an example, I listen to rock music, always have. But I lived in a very closed minded shithole for years, and while I used to have long hair, later on I cut my hair short, because I realized that guys with long hair get beaten up far more often in that town. You gotta adapt to reality, for fucks sake.

[CubsterShura]

Almost all victims can't report a rape case because of people worrying about the guy first and people getting defensive like 'evidence first' like what evidence? Most of the time rapists know what they are doing and leave no evidence behind. And no victim would want to have semen on them for a second, they would jump straight into showering. For a small number of liars you will disbelieve a large number of victims who are in need of support? Very nice. Sorry but rape culture still exists if you have that attitude towards victims.

I'm not saying that I support liars or you should too. In fact a do believe that if a liar is caught, he or she could have the same punishment as the person accused was supposed to serve (sounds like too much but I don't care about these parasites of society who don't take a rape case seriously).

Think of a drunk man raping a girl, people would defend the guy saying 'oh he was drunk he wasn't conscious' but if a drunk girl gets raped people would slut shame the victim for being drunk cause she was obviously calling for danger by doing that thing right? It's great that rapists are getting their due punishment, however we can't say that we got rid of rape culture until people acts get rid of their sick mentality.

[Sososinaxoxo]

I 100% disagree with all that you just said.
No, I will not believe the victim first.
I don't believe anyone until the evidence shows otherwise.
No, one is worried about the guy everyone is worried about the victim.
That's the problem.
There are two sides to every story.
I have a good attitude towards REAL victims not fakes who want attention.
We do not live in a rape culture! That's a fact.
I've never heard of a rape case where a male actually wasn't doubted.
It's always the male who receives the bad attention by default.
Please don't serve me bologna today.
I'm already full from my wings! ^_^

[CubsterShura]

You said you want evidence. WHat kind of evidence? Everyone gets away with saying that they want evidence but NO ONE ever tells what good evidence a victim could provide. Like you tell us what victims can show to people? Like I said rapists leave no marks of rape and even victims end up showering immediately out of disgust, now you want them to stay with semen on their private parts remaining for some more hours? Cause seriously I don't think anyone would want to do it.

[Sososinaxoxo]

Not all rapists are that good.
Also there could be tapes on the security camera.
Maybe some residue on your clothes.
Report it as soon as it happens.
Why give him/her time to get rid of everything.
It's hard and embarrassing but you can't expect me to just trust you with no evidence.
No, rapist is that perfect something could have been left behind.
I don't believe anyone until I see proof.
You should have marks on your skin something.
No, matter how careful they are rapists make mistakes.

[Sososinaxoxo]

Also the victim not reporting the case is their on fault.

[Sososinaxoxo]

Own**
They chose to hold that in.

[CubsterShura]

You realize that they often don't do these things because of social pressure? Honey you are telling so many things but will you really do anything for a victim ever? Did you think for once what you would do if you were in a victim's place especially if the rapist is a well-reputed, rich, influential, or politically powerful person? Easier said than done, if reporting a rape case was so easily then it wouldn't have been a problem at all, and you facing sexual abuse before still does not make you right about everything that you say.

[Sososinaxoxo]

I was in a victim's place.
I am getting really bored with this now we just simply disagree.

[Celtero]

Yeah, your first paragraph is just wrong. There is plenty of DNA evidence left, even if there's no semen. Rape is very messy, and you thinking someone can just dust their fingerprints off their victim just speaks to how incredibly naive you are.

[Sososinaxoxo]

@Celtero Thank you I've been trying to get through to her but I'm afraid she's a lost cause

[CubsterShura]

@Celtero like you not understanding that not everyone can afford to get all these tests clearly make you very smart, right? So wait, every victim who can't afford these various tests cannot get justice, lol ok.

[CubsterShura]

@Sososinaxoxo Honey if you just keep telling someone to go to a place but give no directions to it because you yourself don't know them then don't talk about it, okay?

[Celtero]

Oh honey, I don't know if things are different in Bangladesh, but in most developed places you don't need to pay for a rape kit, you just go to the police.

[CubsterShura]

@Celtero I get it America is more developed but I wouldn't believe if you tell me that any victim can afford to report and get evidence and tests easily.

[Celtero]

Of course they can, it's the Justice Department's duty to enforce the law and punish the perpetrator. It's why we fund them with our taxes.

[CubsterShura]

@Celtero so you mean to say every area of the country has all these facilities including the remote areas and amy victim regardless of the situation can get help from police the moment she asks for it?

You are a smart person. If it was so easy to report rape then why does America has some of the worst rape rates in the world?

[Celtero]

No, that's not what I'm saying. Sure, under certain circumstances it can be hard, but I don't think most rapes occur in remote areas.

As to your last point, reporting rape doesn't prevent rape. So there's not a connection there.

[CubsterShura]

@Celtero the fact is, people rape and harass for anything because they know that they can get away with it. This is why child abuse is a thing.

[Celtero]

No, it's pretty hard to get away with rape as long as the woman reports it as soon as she can.

But yeah, it's definitely easier to get away with hurting children.

[CubsterShura]

@Celtero it isn't because many men who do these things have some kind of power or authority over the victim and the victim reporting can cause her troubles in the near or distant future.

[Celtero]

Those are just high profile cases... like Harvey Weinstein and Matt Lauer.

Most rapists are pretty lowly people, and don't really have much power.

And as far as I know Harvey Weinstein's trial is upcoming at some point.

[CubsterShura]

@Celtero this isn't always the case. It doesn't necessarily have to be such a high-profile person, just someone influential to the victim's family or the community or something and that's just enough. Sometimes they could rather be criminals with bigger affiliations. The main thing is, reporting rape and getting justice is not even half as easy in real life as the myTake written is suggesting.

[Celtero]

Yeah, I don't really want to talk to you anymore. Go on believing there's a rape culture in which women can't get justice if it makes you happy.

[Massageman]

Thank you for your take on this.
First, congratulations on being a survivor and hanging tough for your beliefs. You didn't just turn into a walking, whining pity party: you held your ground and you should be commended for that.
Second, our country needs to remember that people are innocent until proven guilty: ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat (“the burden of proof is on the one who declares, not on one who denies”).
Third, GaGers may want to read up on Katie Koestner who made the cover of Time magazine , June 3, 1991.

[Sososinaxoxo]

Thank you so much! That means a lot

[Massageman]

So sorry that this experience has to a part of your life. We will be praying for you.

[Benedek38]

For those who are interested: Rougly 10% of prosecuted rape cases lead to conviction of the defendant.
Between 2 and 10% of prosecuted rape cases are proven to be false allegations.
That means that in 80-88% of all prosecuted rape cases are unknowns - we don't actually know what happened, or we lack substantial evidence.

So when people say "the majority of rapists get away" - think about this. They are talking about te dubious 80-88%, where either side could be lying.

[Logorithim]

It's certainly true that false accusations of rape and sexual assault have serious consequences and also hurt efforts to get true victims of rape to report the crime (many, if not most do not).

[John_Doesnt]

You clearly don't even understand what rape culture is. Saying things like "rapists get arrested" just proves how ignorant you are about the issue. It's not about rape being legal or not, it's about people being okay with certain types of rape or denying that women are telling the truth.
We do live in a society where people say a woman is lying because she didn't come forward immediately after being raped. That is rape culture.

[Sososinaxoxo]

Who is okay with rape here?
Rapists do get arrested and are prosecuted in court.
If the victim will report it.
No, that isn't rape culture.
I think you don't know what rape culture means.
You just mean we should take rape more seriously.
But a woman coming forward years later is suspicious.

[John_Doesnt]

Rape Culture as defined by the dictionary:
rape cul·ture
noun
a society or environment whose prevailing social attitudes have the effect of normalizing or trivializing sexual assault and abuse.

I don't see anything in that definition of legality or arresting people.

[Sososinaxoxo]

When a rape is reported.
They hopefully find the rapist.
ARREST him and he is to be prosecuted if the evidence is there.
Is that true yes or no?

[Sososinaxoxo]

The answer is yes.
We do not live in a rape culture.
If a victim decides not to come forth with what happened that's his/her own price to pay it has nothing to do with society.
I will not believe any victims until the evidence is there.
With this whole Kavanaugh thing.
30 years? Really come on that's shit.

[jacquesvol]

@Sososinaxoxo you're dreaming about an ideal world

[jacquesvol]

@Sososinaxoxo
Look what happens to the rape kits which would prove guilt:
www.google.be/search

[John_Doesnt]

Did you read the definition? It says rape culture is where society trivializes or normalizes rape. You're making it trivial right now, so you are the rape culture.

[Sososinaxoxo]

Go away I don't care anymore XD

[jacquesvol]

@Sososinaxoxo that's what should happen, if there wasn't such a permissive culture about rape

[Sososinaxoxo]

@jacquesvol Dude seriously gtfo XD You're just flat out obsessed with me now go away.

[John_Doesnt]

@jacquesvol the male gender has been the unquestioned lord and masters of humanity since we first evolved. If we wanted to we could go right back to being assholes and making women our servants. But we don't, because it's wrong. The reason men are behind the #metoo movement is because we are using our brains and empathy to understand that society has been very unfair to women and things need to change. It's not just men that are to blame, it's other women too. Like the asker of this question.

[Guanfei]

Of course we don't live in a rape culture. Even those retarded feminazies know it. But it's an excuse working well to blame men again, therefore they'll use it as much as possible, then find another excuse. Because most of their arguments are exactly that: excuses.
Most of them, if not all, with biased statistics or even no proof behind it, and appealing to emotions instead of reason.
What's funny is their "believe the victim", but only if it's a woman. If a man claim he has been raped, then suddenly he's a liar and should shut up.

[Celtero]

We actually used to execute rapists... up until leftists said it was inhumane and cruel. (probably just because most rapists are leftist.)

But yeah, this whole Kavanaugh accusation thing is just using people's sympathies towards women as a weapon, and is a total disrespectful slap in the face towards actual sex crime survivors.

I'm sorry that you endured it yourself, but I'm proud and glad to hear you sought and achieved retribution. Other women should aspire to be like you.

[WhitePanther88]

I think we live in a victim culture

[JackJPershing]

We instead live in a Victim Culture, where many are offended by the most ridiculous things. Worse, these "victims" make sure that they keep whining till everyone knows how offended they are.

[markscott]

When literally 1 in 6 women is sexually assaulted, and a woman who dares go public with sexual assault allegations by a powerful person, and she is denigrated as being a political pawn, instead of an articulate, educated woman, who is telling her story of pain from sexual assault, then we certainly do live in a rape culture.

[loveslongnails]

Whatever your opinion on "rape culture" might be, it's quite ludicrous and ignorant (actually) to label it "leftist" !! Are you kidding me? Seriously? RAPE is not left, or right, or conservative or liberal, or ANYTHING political. Labeling it as such is ridiculous and takes the focus away from the real issues at hand. Even in a "My Take", opinions should be based as much as possible on evidence based data, which is not always easy to come by, but there is some to be found on the DOJ site and in individual states sites. But for God's sake, rape culture is not an IDEA being foisted on you, or ANYONE, by leftists, liberals, or non-conservatives, so get off your holier than thou Conservative right wing horse and deal with issue, not the blame / name game.

[Sososinaxoxo]

What? And even statistics don't back this up.
XD I don't know what that last part was.

[Sososinaxoxo]

by the way I disliked your comment XD I'm petty like that

[loveslongnails]

I don't know what XD means... nor understand what you mean by "even statistics don't back THIS up"? Back WHAT up? And you're petty like... what? And you don't understand what part? Nothing I wrote is difficult to understand.

[Sososinaxoxo]

Hmm I'm bored now goodbye

[loveslongnails]

How can you be bored when you have soooooooo much to learn? LOL

[jmstarling]

That's an imbecilic response.

[Sososinaxoxo]

@jmstarling Thank you! ^_^

[mobligator]

EXACTLY! NEITHER POLICTICAL PARTY HAS A CORNER ON SEXUAL OFFENSES. Rape and other sexual offenses are not caused by a person political ideology its a psychological disorder.

[Xylem1992]

I dont agree with you at all. sometimes, mostly in small communities, the victim is too embarassed to come forward and say he/she, again mostly she, was raped.

how can you possibly provide hard evidence of rape? unless the victim is examined soon after, for you know a sign of bleeding or some sperm of the offender, which can be even more embarassing. So evidence, or at least hard evidence, isn't always there.

[Sososinaxoxo]

That's true but I'm still not believing anyone until the proof says otherwise.
You work all that out in court.
I'm talking specifically to women who claim false allegations on men or even women.
I will not defend liars.
My thing is I don't choose sides.

[Lance1965]

I don't know if it should be called a 'rape culture' but some people do try to normalize it. Look at the amount of rape porn that is out there. It is almost glorified by some people. People speak of rape fantasies as if it is normal. This is obviously done by people who have never been truly raped.

[zagor]

It is absurd to compare fantasies to reality. A lot of people play video games where they go around lopping peoples heads off. Does that mean they really want to exterminate a village? Do the people who watch Japanese loli porn really want to fuck kids? Only mentally ill individuals are unable to distinguish between what may be viscerally stimulating and the actual reality of an act.

[MarketData]

@zagor What you said.

[Kiran04]

The US, a country where accusing a man of rape can cause more damage than actually being raped. Who needs presumption of innocence or due process? You accuse him, we lynch him. The only rape culture we have here is the rape of the justice system.

[HereIbe]

I am reminded of people who claim we live in a "fascist" or "communist" country. These claims are made by people who have experienced neither.

[jacquesvol]

Man strangles and sexually assaults a woman, gets no jail time and doesn't have to register as a sex offender. Prosecutor calls it a "pass". Thoughts? ↗

[HereIbe]

@jacquesvol, prove that this means we have a "rape culture". SHOW THE STATISTICS, not a SINGLE CASE? Show the numbers. If we have a "rape culture", there should be TENS OF THOUSANDS of such cases EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Where are they?

[jacquesvol]

Such verdicts are typical

[jacquesvol]

www.theguardian.com/.../oral-sex-rape-ruling-tulsa-oklahoma-alcohol-consent

[jacquesvol]

www.theguardian.com/.../university-of-colorado-sexual-assault-austin-wilkerson

[HereIbe]

@jacquesvol, now, SHOW THE HARD NUMBERS! Show the statistics. HOW MANY out of HOW MANY?

You're too dishonest to admit you don't have the hard numbers.

[HereIbe]

@jacquesvol, prove the verdicts are typical. WHAT IS THE PERCENTAGE? Give numbers, you liar.

[jacquesvol]

Those rulings show a pattern and cops and DAs will remember them when a victim files a report and act accordingly

[HereIbe]

@jacquesvol, SHOW THE ACTUAL NUMBERS! The plural of "anecdote" is not "data". Show the numbers. Give me the hundreds or the thousands, not a mere handful that is so outrageous that it manages to make the press.

You can't, because you are lying.
