“One in ten married women allege they have been raped by their husbands.”

It’s odd that these statistics are floating around. And actually, the statistics do not say “alleged”. They say it actually occurs this often. But I call it odd because I would have expected at least once in my life to have heard such claims.

A woman told me a couple of weeks ago about an abusive ex-boyfriend “slut shaming” and sexually harassing her.

I just had another woman this week share with me about her and her husbands affairs. She shared that she had an abortion this week. She was looking for prayer.

I had another woman describe how she was raped as a teenager by a boyfriend. She had no reason to lie about it. She never shared this with her own husband who is now deceased.

A lot of people have opened up to me about their trials, and I’ve never heard anyone say their husband raped them or that their wife falsely accused them of rape.

So, I question these statistics.

“avoiding women altogether is the best way to avoid false allegations.”

Nonsense. And completely cynical.

Men need women. Women need men. Porn and prostitution are not viable substitutes for a wholesome relationship. And few people are capable of lifelong abstinence.

The hookup culture destroys lives—men and women. Rape and false allegations of rape are more prevalent today because of it. And it leads to lack of intimacy.

“So, I question these statistics.”

That’s fine, but on the one hand we have multiple studies, and on the other hand we have your anecdotal experiences. Not really comparable.

“Nonsense. And completely cynical.”

Cynical, sure, but completely sensible. I can’t be credibly accused of animal abuse if I’m not around any animals, and neither can I be credibly accused of rape if I’m never alone with a woman.

“Men need women. Women need men.”

Sure, but tell that to women. They intentionally destroyed the dynamic that has worked since the beginning of time and made it dangerous for men to associate with them. Men didn’t do that.
