Why would you even waste your breath fighting to attack the conspiracy (The Patriarchy of all white cis dudes) to "not assume a guy did something without a formal trial or any sort of police report" when you could complain about police not even processing rape kits for women who do come forward, or the bazillions of colleges who get actual reports of sexual assault and just sit on their hands when it comes to punishment.

How do you get proper statistics on unreported rape?

is your argument seriously "here, look, a rape happened! therefore this one did too"

I realize how lovely the police can be in any number of cases, and that ought to be addressed, but "are there problems with the justice system?" is a different question than "is social media a valid system for determining the truth of accusations?"

My point was that the idea of women just accusing men of rape for being successful was hilariously wrong. I was making fun of the guy. There was no argument.

Reporting rape through the "appropriate channels" doesn't work for a lot of women who end up doing so. I don't think the women who are raped and don't report it to anybody know this, but rape is usually handled as badly as the story I posted there. The appropriate channels are biased towards order, and so people uphigh do nothing when rape comes to them. I swear to goddan christ i'm not a loving SJW cutting myself over heterocis world domination, i'm saying that we should take this random lady's claim seriously. As i said originally: if a women cries "rape" we shouldn't just call her a random idiot on the internet.

Yep, all 2% of those rape cases that are actually reported Ironically.

Well, I still think that even if its just a random idiot on the internet accusing a guy of rape on the internet we should listen to her first.

Oops wait nevermind lol this bitch lied from the beginning. I wasted a bunch of drat words and made me look like a loving idiot.

Here's an example of what i'm talking about. Girl takes her complaint of groping by an influential guy to human resources and nothing happens. For months, nobody does anything. Only when a friend of the victim blasts this poo poo on twitter does the guy (who is later revealed to have had a horrible bipolar manic episode) get kicked out.

Again, I am NOT an sjw. I do not think tumblr is my idea of a great website. From personal experience I know that rape happens all the time and that rapists are free to brag about it forever while the victim gets psychologically (or physically) damaged and is forced to take on all the guilt.

Allegedly cards like that were removed years ago accompanied with an apology that used all the right language. Of course this is now part of the arguments being used against him in the vein of "well of course he sounds sincere and honest while she's being purposely vague, its because he knows the social lingo and is using it as part of his mastermind plot"

have we hashed out whether rape is bad or not? don't want to read all this debating to find out

JerryLee posted:

Fair enough, but what's "taking it seriously" in your book since it apparently isn't going to be tried in a legal court (or even started down that road) and we ought to be intensely uncomfortable with the idea of assuming guilt without that step?

I don't even think it's impossible for a guy to have raped someone, just like it's not impossible for my next-door neighbor to have raped someone, I'm saying that outside of the legal system I don't know of any other system that even approaches the legal system's (admittedly far from spotless) authority for establishing truth in cases like this. It certainly isn't the blogosphere. Maybe some reputable investigative journalism but I don't know how that's going to happen.

Me. Bring all your concerns to me.

My ruling: They started to mess around, he went too far too fast, didn't notice her discomfort until she made it really overt, he stopped and left, blew her off because who needs to waste late night dorm talk on a girl who doesn't consider it foreplay. She struggles with her discomfort over the situation, doesn't get validated when she talks to some people about it, and buries it in a mess of hurt feelings and self loathing induced by a culture that taught her "you just weren't clear enough!" Years later, bolstered by a wave of women sharing their hurt feelings and rejecting self loathing, she decides to open up about it, but she does it in an impulsive and simplifying manner. She gets pushback, realizes she's overselling it, pulls back and tries to nurture her gains in terms of self realization.

Gonna set myself up as Judge Judy on youtube or something.

lol at whoever made this thread about it being generally good to lend a sympathetic ear to someone claiming to have gone through something traumatic and assume good faith just cause they're probably telling the truth

"I know GBS reacts like Gollum to being asked to lend their precious sympathy to another human being every other time, but surely the case of the Tumblr gamer girl will give them pause!" - that guy

I don't get why rape is thst big of a deal. IMO you should Just go with it, in my opinion. It's like taking a couples picture at a tourist spot. You can make a big deal out of it or you can just do it and it'll all be over a little quicker.
