There is literally not a single truth told in this post.

That's a lazy reply not worthy of this one but I'll give it to you anyway, here is all the truth in the post:

It's not even a case of "not enough rape charges are met with conviction" but more like "almost no rape charges are met with conviction".

We can start by working together as a society to remove the stigma towards rape victims and all the associated rape apology that goes along with it, as outlined in the original video. This would help rape survivors feel more emboldened to pursue justice, which would obviously increase the amount of rapists being put away.

You agreed yourself that part of the problem is not enough people coming forward to police so we can skip this one

And I don't know what the specific laws are in different states but certainly in the Harvey Weinstein case he as able to protect himself through non disclosure agreements preventing his alleged victims from testifying about his alleged criminal activity. So yeah I absolutely think that law needs to be looked at.

You probably won't watch this but this is detailed here:

And finally:

The implication here is that convictions are not happening only because evidence was insufficient, which is demonstrably false.

Lack of evidence is obviously one strong reason why but it is not the only reason why. Another is inefficiency in the justice system. Details:

Again this was covered in the video in the OP. 70,000 untested rape kits, court cases being pushed back and back, etc.
