I hope you realize that this literally makes you look like you are hedging your bets! Seriously, other than men who have already raped a woman, and men who REALLY want to rape a woman in the future, who would ever advocate for leniency for rapists?
I understand your point about false accusations, but false reports of rape are dwarfed by the reality of actual rape numbers! Between 16 and 20 percent of ALL women will be raped in our lifetime, depending on the methodology of the study. In particular, what was included in “sexual violence”? Some studies use the old FBI definition “forced penetration” but that definition means women cannot rape men, and they absolutely do! Women however, rather than using force and the threat of force, women rape men by Extorting them, (do it, or I’ll show the boss the real accounting numbers”, Bribery “If you don’t have sex with me, I’ll just tell your wife we are having an affair” Shaming “what are you, GAY?”, and Threat of Embarrassment “if you don’t, I’ll tell The entire school that you couldn’t get it up, and when we finally did have sex, you almost threw-up!”. So with approximately 20% of women experiencing sexual violence in our lifetimes, you need to stop and think… just exactly how many false accusations of rape are there each year? No on agrees on the percentages of rape accusations that are provably false, but federal estimates range from 2 to 10 percent. That may sound like a lot, and it is, but consider this, of the women who ARE raped every year and actually report it… ZERO percent are false!

That would mean there would instances where rape was okay? Now if your talking about false accusations and no physical evidence or something of that sort that would be more a lenience on preponderance of evidence. I honestly don't know what the burden of proof is right now I'm sure plenty of people do.
You are seriously having a Giraffe
just Google ‘how many men raped in US Military’. Do it and say how many it is. That is just Men in the US Forces.
Yes as @CrazyGirl2 says you have false accusations, however just remember you also have Attempted Rape, these don’t usually end up as stats either, an attempted rape also leaves mental and emotional scars and often almost discounted by society.
For a lot of girls (and guys), it’s ‘there but for the grace of God go I’ when they read or hear about a rape or sexual assault.
Yes false accusations should receive a better punishment, however not when a person is getting off on a technicality and EVERYONE knows the fucker is guilty but gets away with it, that is not a false accusation.
it needs to be very black and white, an out right lie.
Actually proven and convicted rapists should receive harsh sentencing.
How would you work such laws, exactly?
3 years less if the victim wasn't raped anal as well? Or maybe 2 months less if victim was drunk?
The minute you start taking too much mitigation in a proven crime, you reduce the deterrent and justice aspect.
Sure there are a lot of things that need to be worked on in justice for sexual crimes. But it's mostly at the police investigation and defence lawyer, level.
The sentences reflect on what is brought to court. Few rape cases make it to court.

I think rape needs to be split into two crimes. Rape is like grabbing a woman and ripping her clothes off and holding a knife to her throat and having sex with her as she screams no.
The whole i was drunk and i dont remember if i told my boyfriend i wanted to have sex or not, should not be rape, it could be a possible like misconduct or something but in no way should it even be associated with the kind of thing i mentioned above nor should it carry nearly the same punishments. The motivations the violence the results of the interaction are all completely different.
Its like comparing a driving accident to purposely driving a car into a crowd, clearly not the same thing even though they both involve a car.No, we really don't. I think that the punishment should be physical and extreme.
I think that false accusers should be punished heavily as well.It depends on the state. I feel like California should acknowledge the Romeo & Juliet Clause to protect teenagers from being prosecuted for Statutory R*pe if/when they engage in sexual activity. That's it, though.
Lenient rape laws? So you think rapists should be treated like it’s no big deal? WTF!
What if the rapist only raped men and raped you? Still feel like asking that question when craving justice?
yes because if they really cared about rape then why do muslim in the UK get away with grooming a raping little white girls for so long?
People like you are exactly why I carry.
One in five women are raped and that is just the ones we know about. I don't know what we have to do but something has to change and not at the expense of men's freedom (me too is a shitty movement).
no, honestly the rape laws are fine the way they are, if they were to harsh you more than likely see a negative to a extent response. To lenient and you also get bad response
Like? Kids having sex? I know if a woman agrees to sex drunk or not , then a week later she shouldn't call it rape. That is why marriage is a good thing , but liberals say marriage is rape now
Lenient? No, we need stricter sentencing laws for rapists.
Lenient? Why should rapists have any kind of lenience?
I think we need to get better at getting the catching them some how
Of course! But I’m a sadist anti social asshole. Are you?
What do you mean by this question?
