Any feminist law is perambulated upon the axiom: "She has Rights/He has Responsibilities".
Does she mean "stop" or does she mean "MORE!".
Moral of the story "No means no but almost anything else can mean no too".
You are exactly right -- that's exactly what was decided in the case I cited, too. This then led to feminists on campuses authoring campus policies which hoped to mandate "contracts" for those who date. No, I'm not kidding.
The gay lobbies, however, attempt to assert that should they be "allowed" to legally wed they'd stop being promiscuous. Emotional rhetorical extortion.
Didn't you know? That's because that's all men do is rape, rape, rape!
Tell me, Cherry. If most rape victims NEVER even report what happened to them, how is it "known" that it happened? Word of mouth? Group hug therapy for "I was raped" wanna-be-celebrities? Polling data from College "Women's Studies" classes?
You bet your little diatribe p'd me off. Especially when you float out "I wish the women haters "..
Women haters? No. Women demanding to be treated as equals but then given more rights than anyone else? Does this constitute "women haters" to you?
Nifong claims he has more evidence.
I agree with you, I was at the gym and Abrams was on showing Nifong's interview with Rita where he said he had more evidence.
It isn't a contradiction. Even if, say, 8 out of 10 rapes are never reported, it appears that 25% or more of those that are reported are false accusations. Apples and oranges.
What transpires is usually known by those involved.
Unreported rapes, usually date (acquaintance) and those by wife batterers, are by no means uncommon.
I don't think that those like Juanita Broderick are wanna-be-celebs.
Nifong's claim is disturbing, as with everything else he does. His campaign website makes clear that for years he has had an open door policy--sharing his evidence. So, either he his not sharing or his promise is untrue. but he is also leaking that the photos time stamps are wrong, which should be verifiable. If his case depends on that, then if he is wrong he should drop it
Okay, Miss Behave -- hazard a guess for me. Do you have stats which show "how many women are raped" but "don't report it"?
Do you think these "stats" are solid sufficient to justify false accusations? Rape Shield Laws?
You've supplied one: Juanita Broderick. And the very same Liberal MSM which called her a "liar" is now positing that "women never lie"? Fascinating.
What transpires is usually known by those involved
Well and fine; but how do you suggest this should be played out in a court room without evidence?
Do you think females should be legally permitted to define rape? Even in cases of consensual sex? Where's the line?
And the "men should just keep it in their pants" line used these past 30 years is just so much garbage. When no sex need even take place for a female to do the "'Arp 'Arp" thing.
So please don't give me that one.
wrong as in inaccurate or wrong as in tampered?
As to my point, many share details and physicalities contemporaneously with more than one credible person.
Long ago, in another time... a group of females "saw" things in common.. they were being vexed by the Devil! It led to incarcerations, deaths by stoning, etc., and I'd just hate to see history repeat itself; and I'm serious about wanting to see more than just "stories".
"Everybody says so" just has never held much appeal to me. I guess that means I'm not a populist. Or I don't give a rats about so-called "liberal" conventional wisdoms. Repressed memory syndrome -- suddenly kids are all seeing "weird" molestations.. and I'm supposed to just get on board the ole "their stories are the same!"?
Nah.
When women are in FACT raped -- they need to treat it as a CRIME and report it. Rape is NOT a civil rights issue: It's a crime. IMHO, of course.
Maybe the feminist legal beagles ka-chinging on the "pro-choice" stuff might want to consider telling their followers to report the crime, immediately? And that the press not go along with feminist "conventional wisdom" and wait for EVIDENCE to be revealed?
New math posits one can just guess at the right answer.
I'm not into new math.
What I've just written constitutes the epitome of the harpy shriek "Blame the Victim" in accusation at me.
No. It is women falsely alleging "rape", it is women who do not report ACTUAL rape, it is biased anti-male courts -- who bury the real victims of rape.
Women who do NOT report rape immediately -- only encourage by their silence, the rapist to rape other women. It's kinda hard to catch ghosts months or days after all the evidence and leads have gone cold.
OMG.
I don't know why the second test is taking so long, unless it came back something and neither side is talking.
Tawana Brawley.
We know darn well there are *some* men out there who grab and feel every chance they get. They may even rape if they get the opportunity.
Most men know this too but they'll deny it.
How do I know: Listen to any man whose wife had just given birth to a baby girl. There will be lots of comments about how he'll deal with it when the girl grows up and starts dating.
BTW - if you had a daughter who had been assaulted by a high profile person, e.g., Governor of Arkansas or Kolbe the basketball guy, would you let her report it?
