It just doesn't pay to be a rape victim nowadays....

Actually, if they performed an examination, they should be able to tell if it was consensual or not. Generally, in forcible rape (as if there's any other kind), there will be tearing and swelling.

Hey, I'm the first one in line to down the women who yell "rape," or "sexual harassment" at the drop of a hat or to get back at someone. It's THEIR fault that the prevailing attitude is one of disbelief, and I think that they should be charged with some kind of crime, such as slander and/or filing a false police report. Men have had their lives destroyed by these women, and even if they're proven innocent, it dogs them.

However, for some reason, people also tend to disbelieve accusations when a celebrity is involved, as if, merely because he's a celebrity he couldn't POSSIBLY have done it. Or, if the woman was dressed a certain way, or had been drinking. That still doesn't excuse the rapist....OH, EXCUSE ME...."alleged" rapist.....

(rant) Like the deal with Mike Tyson, someone who has a history of aggression towards women. The first thing people said was, "well, she INVITED him to her room."

SO? I've invited men into my house before. It wasn't an open invitation to have sex. She may have shown bad judgement, but it doesn't mean she "deserved what she got." That's bullshit. People talk about how women are dressed, as if they get dressed up thinking, "hmmm...let's see....what could I wear that would give me the best chance of getting raped?" Makes you wonder...if short skirts and low-cut shirts cause men to lose control of themselves, it seems we'd see more rapes on the beach than we do in relation to nightclubs and bars....granted, I may not like how some women dress, and I may think that how they dress makes them look like a tramp, but I don't think that they "deserve" to be raped. (/rant)

It reminds me of the comedienne (I can't remember her name, but she's a tall black woman who's bald)...onstage, she whipped out a newspaper article in which the judge let a guy off for rape because, as the judge saw it, "she was asking for it" by the way she was dressed. Of course, all the women in the audience booed. But the comedienne said, "no, no, ladies...we can turn this around. Next time you see an ugly man walking down the street...shoot him. He knew he was ugly when he left the house. He was asking for it."
