“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.
“I’ve never seen one about a man raping his wife. Why? Because it must be extremely rare.”
There you go again with the anecdotal evidence. Just because you aren’t aware of something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
“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.”
The statistics don’t assume it’s true or false either way, they are simply the number of women who responded in the affirmative (in multiple independent studies) as to whether they had been raped by their spouses. Unless we are supposed to assume that rape is the one crime people never make false allegations about, then obviously some of those are false.
“No, I advised not participating in the hookup culture.”
Sorry, but your main point this whole time has been that being in a monogamous marriage is the best defense against false rape allegations, which you then admitted hasn’t actually been true for thirty odd years.
“For me, I’d rather end up in prison falsely accused of something than to accept this.”
Uh huh. Have you ever been falsely accused or been to prison? If not, you might want to refrain from making that kind of judgement.
