I think the reasons for the low ratio from accusation to conviction rate has several reasons
1) Rape can be hard to prove
2) Many women decide afterward that they didn't' want to do it
3) Women who were victimized as a child (which is a good size of all women unfortunately) have a freeze reaction when they are they think they are being victimized. They might think they are being raped, yet won't say anything, just freeze. The guy may or may not know shes doesn't want it, but even if he does what Jury will convict if she doesn't yell or even say no.
4)Other times women who were victimized as a child see all interaction with men as abuse.

I listen to a radio show where a people call in with health and relationship problems, and one girl called in and said she was raped. After further questioning it turns out she was naked in bed with the man giving him oral, and he went to have sex, and when she said stop he did. She had no idea were he got the idea that he could do that, proving women must have some kind of cruel impediment from understanding the very very simple workings of a mans brain.

1) Rape can be hard to prove

Agreed, but for some reason it seems that it's far easier to prove in the USA than in the UK., as evidenced by the link and chart that Polecat Pete so graciously provided to this thread.  This would suggest that a significant difference exists either in the burden of proof required by the respective courts or the behaviors or expectations of women in the UK.


2) Many women decide afterward that they didn't' want to do it

"Morning Regrets" are not rape. They are an after-the-fact recognition that you used poor judgment and you should immediately enroll in a Ladies' Finishing School.


3) Women who were victimized as a child (which is a good size of all women unfortunately) have a freeze reaction when they are they think they are being victimized. They might think they are being raped, yet won't say anything, just freeze. The guy may or may not know shes doesn't want it, but even if he does what Jury will convict if she doesn't yell or even say no.

Such women need the greatest possible level of compassion and possibly counseling and therapy, and their history needs to be available to a man's defense team and needs to be fully admissible in court in the event she decides to bring criminal charges against a man. A man who sexually victimizes a child should be burned alive in public and the immolation should be  televised live and unedited on free TV.

Same response as given to #3.

I listen to a radio show where a people call in with health and relationship problems, and one girl called in and said she was raped. After further questioning it turns out she was naked in bed with the man giving him oral, and he went to have sex, and when she said stop he did. She had no idea were he got the idea that he could do that, proving women must have some kind of cruel impediment from understanding the very very simple workings of a mans brain.

Your description of her is as a 'girl' and so in my view she is excused from complicity by virtue of natural youthful innocence....innocence being a virtue, particularly among the young.

As to any gender-related 'mental impediment', I would suggest that men and women have very different ways of thinking and acting and this is one of the magical Gifts that God gave to Mankind to add immeasurable dimensions to the joys of life.  Yes, they can cause troubles at times, but this is the reason for proper parenting and insuring that children are imbued with the very best values that Society can muster.
