How often do you see innocent men put in prison for sexual assualt? Doesn't it have a very low conviction rate? Isn't it said to be one of the lowest reported crimes? Aren't people who falsely report sexual assaults harshly punished? The answers to all these questions is yes. And the reactions of Cosby, Weinstein and Spacey to these allegations show they are very much guilty.
The question that you should be asking is why are you seeing this as a men vs women thing? Why aren't you seeing it as decent law abiding citizens vs criminals?
Where's your proof for that because it sounds like a lot of it is just your opinion. Are you sure the low convictions wouldn't just be down to the difficulty in proving cases like this beyond reasonable doubt? Or because it is harder to get a conviction after more time has passed between the assault and the conviction? Also can you explain how we haven't seen an increase in the number of people convicted of lying about being assaulted?
I agree that anyone falsely accusing anyone of rape is scum but I don't believe it is as much of an issue as you are making it out to be nor would I use such vitriol to describe anyone coming forward about sexual assualt especially as you are in the case of Weinstein who has basically admitted guilt?
Let's look at this from another way. You're in a dark alley and someone mugs you with a knife. They say they'll stab you if you don't give them your wallet. So you give it and they run off.
Is this a transaction that suits both parties? After all, the mugger gets the wallet and your blood remains inside your body.
But it isn't that much of an issue there's evidence of it.
My best mate was falsely accused of rape when we were 17 and I had to give evidence in court because he was with me at the time. I find it abhorrant and think the punishment for falsely accusing anyone should far greater.
Anyone who's stupid enough to use snowflake as an insult isn't worth discussing anything with either.
Drunken sex between two willing parties now seems to be lumped in as sexual assault when the woman wakes up regretfully in the morning and crys rape. How come no-one ever asks wether the man was sober enough to consent to sex in these cases?
I would absolutely hate to be a young man out on the pull these days. Loitering around the female toilets in a nightclub is an absolute no-no these days.
Hear hear. A co-worker of mine once described her "harrowing" experiences of how she was "sexually assaulted" when a man touched her on the shoulder. I'm sure someone who suffered genuine and horrific sexual assault would be able to fully sympathise, and agree that she should jump to the first in the tea queue in group counselling sessions.
There are also dangerous feminists out there that seriously believe that consent can be withdrawn. So, a woman could have a one night stand with a man, regret it, and then withdraw her consent the day after therefore making him a rapist. Just as well as that not many people take these nutters seriously. At least, hopefully not....
