“True, but your comment leaves out the fact that politically charged topics such as this tend to “find” statistics supporting the position of certain advocacy groups.”
Ok, great, then “find” some other statistics to support the other position.
“Traditionally, being married is a string defense against allegations of rape. This changed in the early 90s, right along with the growing hookup culture. My point is underscored.”
Sounds more like your point is undermined, since we don’t live in the period before the early 90s anymore, so your advice isn’t actually applicable.
“Do you really want to accept living life that way?”
If it means not being falsely accused of rape, then yes.
“Ok, great, then ‘find’ some other statistics to support the other position.”
Don’t need to. Crimes and crime statistics are reported in the news. I’ve seen many mug shots of people charged with rape, murder, burglary, theft, etc. I’ve never seen one about a man raping his wife. Why? Because it must be extremely rare.
Further, the very statistic you referred to does not support your own position, as I already pointed out. You are asserting that 10% of husbands are FALSELY accused of rape. The statistics you mentioned assume that the accusations are true. But we both know that is nonsense.
“Sounds more like your point is undermined, since we don’t live in the period before the early 90s anymore, so your advice isn’t actually applicable.”
No, I advised not participating in the hookup culture. If a person avoids it they are more likely to enter into a relationship based on trust and meeting each other’s needs rather than selfishness and dishonesty.
“If it means not being falsely accused of rape, then yes.”
I have spent most of my life single. I think it is important for everyone to learn how to be single and not be totally dependent on having someone else in order to be happy. That being said, I refuse to accept a permanent life of singleness.
It’s your choice. But it seems unnecessarily lonely and sad. For me, I’d rather end up in prison falsely accused of something than to accept this.
