In response to "Feminism, Rape and Unpretty Data"
Posted on 03/08/2005 8:27:02 PM PST by Girl_in_Red
This comment is in response to an article I recently read on this site when doing a search for rape conviction sentencing. I was horrified to see such a short sighted article, infering based upon the "information" provided that rape accusals are abused and lacking in credibility. As a rape survivor myself, I find this a hard arguement to swallow to say nothing of buy into. The reason I never went through with pressing charges is no one believed me and it was too emotionally raw to keep pursuing. It is harder than anything to get someone to belive you were raped, even if, like myself, you are a model student, you have an excellent reputation and you have the bruises to boot. So to all you short-sighted individuals, please consider both sides of the story. Until you have had your life turned upside down physically and emotionally by someone else's desires and selfishness, watch what you say about rape convictions. Check the stats about unreported cases first, talk to your female friends because guess what? One in three were probably sexually assaulted at some point in their lives all ready.

There are guys who get away with brutal rape (think President Clinton) and there are guys who are falsely, and not infrequently, accused of rape. You can't have a different standard for rape as you do for other crimes in our justice system (the presumption of innocence, the right to face one's accuser in open court etc.) Some feminists want a different standard.

Only got to hear what it sounds like, never got to see it.
:(
Sounded pretty cool though.
What I did get to see was 155's rake a target with HE and WP.
Impressive, and I forgot the camera so I'm STILL kicking myself.

I was accused of "Assault and Battery" on an empolyee I terminated. I never touched her. I am 6'3", 250lbs. She was 4'6" and pregnant. I terminated her for insubordination. She immediatley went to the Magistrate and filed the complaint. On the day of the trial, she tried to have the charges dismissed. She couldn't even look at me in the eye. Here's the kicker...The judge went to dismiss the case, the prosecuting attorney took a look at me and then looked at the judge and said,"I don't like this...we should go ahead and prosecute." I became guilty by my size on a crime I didn't commit....The case was dismissed anyway...
Any woman can cry to the magistrate and get her way in court. the man accused is automatically guilty and has to be proven innocent.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING come as close to seing an A-10 fire that 30mm on a tank...or strafe an aircraft on the ground...that was the most impressive thing I ever saw!

Up at Drum, they circled over our position and began their target run from over our heads.
One would fire rockets, and the next would strafe.
Neat to see a pair of A-10's do that.

The reason I never went through with pressing charges is no one believed me... You can press the charges no matter what people think. Let the court decide with the evidence. If you were "raped" the evidence would have been there, unless you were willing, then changed your mind at the last minute.

Saw it.
Sounds mighty familiar.
Never got to see a parajump ex.
Did get to ride in a UH-60.
I saw it and said, "Ooooh! Ooooh! Can I drive!"
To which my Seargent and the Heckabug's crewchief both said, inunison, "No!!"

Yes, she's quite.. amusing.
Yeah, she'd try to eat the pancake at first.
Then she'll bat it around until it's yucky dusty.
Then she'll hunt down my ankles.

haha! Would you like the usual caption?:
"I have no idea what you're talking about" .....
..... "So here's Kearen Cat with a pancake on her head"
Or let me know how you'd like it captioned, okay? :^D
