BTW, would like to point out that there are a number of reasons a woman might recant an accusation, such as being pressured or intimidated into doing. A recantation does not in and of itself prove the original accusation was false.
Many of us have wives, sisters, daughters and mothers, and aren’t wont to tolerate mistreatment - especially of this sort.
Many of you also have sons. When do you start to defend them against the injustices they face?
Thanks for the response.
42% sounds a little high to me. I would lean more to somewhere between 20% and 30%, but must admit that’s based on little more than instinct.
I think the most honest thing to say is that probably 60% of reports of rape are entirely accurate. A rape occurred, though not necessarily by the person accused.
Perhaps 20% are indisputably false, with no rape occurring.
With the remaining 20% being impossible to determine one way or the other.
YMMV
I’ve never quite understood why liberals consider conservatives to be apologists for rape, when I’m cheerfully in favor of capital punishment for actual rapists.
