Why would reporting a crime to the police count as slandering someone?

Felony charges against someone, even if acquitted, are much more damaging than being called a rapist in vigilante court. Hope this helps

If you think someone who accuses in public should prove it or go to prison why not accusers on the witness stand?

What if they dismiss it for lack of evidence?

Unless among your fantasies about the legal system is that people get charged for making a false claim in circumstances like that.

With the note that the girl from Columbia did, in fact, go to the police. So--you have no problem with her naming the person she says raped her, right?

Oh, good!

"For legal reasons I cannot accuse any specific person of raping me. I can, however, say that I was brutally raped by someone. I can also factually recount to you my criminal complaint filed with the police. In that complaint I swore under oath that local man John Smith raped me on the night of......"

Good system you've thought up.

Statements made as part of criminal or civil litigation are exempt from slander and libel laws, at least in most of the United States. That seems an appropriate exception, especially since there are more severe sanctions for lying under oath or filing a false police report.

Very few people are prosecuted for filing a false police report. In the case of a woman reporting a rape, it would take a hell of a lot to prompt that. In the case of a he-said/she-said encounter, it would be as difficult as prosecuting a rapist.

The Columbia student is an example of this. She made the police report. Even though people doubt her story, there is almost no chance of her being prosecuted for a false report. She is not, in fact, even being sued personally by the guy.

Assertions of injustice by young men are infuriating to some. Caroline Heldman, an associate professor of politics at Occidental College and co-founder of End Rape on Campus, said of the men who are turning to the courts, “These lawsuits are an incredible display of entitlement, the same entitlement that drove them to rape.”

Haha, that's loving amazing. Change the situation to black people suing about mistreatment by the police and the reaction would sound like it came right out of the mouth of a right wing pundit.

She filed a police report specifically to get his name into the record and apparantly said so, as part of a coordinated campaign of harassment. So yeah I have a problem with the whole situation generally but not with rape victims filing police reports, which seems like a thing we would prefer to happen more.

What justice system rushing in to punish people are you talking about?

By 'justice system' do you mean 'university'?

And are you seriously comparing the unjust jailing, beating, and shooting of black Americans with being kicked out of school--when that happens, as, again, it didn't in the Columbia case?

She said she filed the police report because she heard from other women that he had assaulted them as well.

So any time a rape victim files a police report, you have no problem with her then talking about the rape publicly, is this correct?

You have also dodged the question of where you live. What country are you in?

No, I mean I believe people always deserve the right to due process in proceedings that would affect their lives (this would extend to union grievances, university disciplinary proceedings, etc.). It's literally the only fair way to do it.

Comparing people getting kicked out of school with the way black americans are treated in the US is still really stupid.

Human males have less inherent value than human females due to human females being the limiting factor in reproduction. Thus, in our society, women are favored in endless ways, and both men and women will have a pro-female bias. This why even Christian conservative pastors are afraid to condemn single mothers from their pulpits and society is entertaining the idea of overturning the presumption of innocence in rape accusation cases. We are supposed to believe that men can be so wicked as habitually engage in rape but that women are too angelic to lie about getting raped.

Jon Pop, Christian conservative pastors do condemn single mothers from their pulpits, and courts and police are biased against, not for, rape victims and the presumption of innocence is not being abandoned.

Christian conservatives prefer to complain about "deadbeat dads" and dare not say a single bad thing about the sluts who chose those deadbeats, and feminists want to use false rape accusations as a weapon against the so called "patriarchy" structure they're always moaning about.

What he said is true though? Women have a pro female bias and a natural distrust of men comparatively. Theirs always lots of hubbub about men not going to the doctors enough because of pride, but if you actually follow studys you'd see that for some reason men by and far seek isolation when they are injured or sick, while women by and far do the opposite. Male disposability shouldn't be some redpiller only truth, guys. It's kinda sad that everyone other than them seem to treat it like it doesn't exist.
