Again, in a perfect world women would feel safe to come forward right away, but we very much do not live in that world. Hell, you give an excellent reason why in your next few sentences: GreenKnight127 posted... Some girls have a reputation of sleeping around and making terrible decisions, so when girls like that ARE raped, of course the community is gunna grumble and respond with doubt and criticism. Ever hear of the boy who cried wolf? So let's see if I have this straight - it's OK to doubt and criticize women with an active sex life for being raped, because apparently having a lot of sex is "crying wolf"? Dude, what the fuck. Shit like this is exactly why women don't feel like they can come forward - because some [censored] on the internet will say "Oh please - she slept with five guys in the last two years, you expect me to believe that she won't automatically consent to every man who wants to have sex with her?" GreenKnight127 posted... That is a LOT of power for a woman to have. You understand men have the power to make false allegations too, right? No reason why one of her ex-boyfriends couldn't claim that she pressured him into sex. Or that she was stealing office supplies from the break room. Or something similar. Yeah, false allegations are shitty and that's true regardless of who the accuser is or what crime they're accusing someone of. But this is not just an issue with women and to suggest otherwise is ignorant. As I've mentioned several times in this topic, the false accusation rate for sexual abuse is lower than other violent crimes - the overwhelming majority of people who come forward with those claims are telling the truth. So if you want to talk about people ruining other people's lives with false accusations, maybe start with those other crimes first - you'll have more of an impact. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror! <cite>darkknight109 posted [p:909160005] in Making sex...
