I get that there's a serious problem with rape being really hard to prosecute because no matter what the guy can just go "uh no that didn't happen" and a lot of the time that's all there is to it because the cops are like "well he said it didn't happen, sorry v:v:v", but are we really at the point where you can just tweet that your ex did something and it's Automatically True for political reasons

Like, arson is also hard to prosecute but if my ex gets a bunch of Internet attention and I tweet that she burned down a house once, people won't get actually really mad at the concept of someone not believing me

Yes because status quo is its automatically false for political reasons.

You're probably trolling me, in that you appear to be saying we should automatically believe one person because other people will automatically believe the other person, but there is a good point in the post regardless:

These kinds of accusations are like any other kind of accusation that doesn't have any kind of proof behind it in that everyone decides who they think is Probably Right based on their innate biases and also who they liked better before they read the details, and won't really change their mind under any circumstances. Hence some people will accept the tweet as gospel and some will immediately dismiss it. It'd be the same if she said he keyed her car or refused to give her back her favorite blanket after they broke up, but people are paying more attention to it than those hypotheticals because obviously the stakes are way higher.

Unrelated, Stoya's Verge column is bad

like this one

"Dear Stoya, I have a very common insecurity regarding my sexual stamina. Do you have any sex advice you would like to dispense via your sex advice column?"

"Instead of answering your question, I'm going to complain at length about how porn is shot. Blah blah blah blah... hm? Oh, looks like I'm done complaining about porn and never answered your question but the column is almost over, so instead I'm going to assume that you don't know what foreplay is. Try foreplay."

Yes, and it makes you both clueless and an awful person. I hope this helps, buddy!!

I understand that there are often many complex reasons why rapes go unreported including a well-deserved mistrust of the police force but this is a dumb position to take. If someone kills your kids or breaks into your house, you are a victim, but it is still your responsibility to report the crime and aid in the investigation.

No, not really. Saying it is the responsibility of the rape victim to prevent further attacks from the rapist is shifting the burden of responsibility from the perpetrator to the victim. Being raped is an incredibly traumatic and damaging experience and nearly every individual reacts differently. Choosing not to go forward and deal with even more trauma of a trial, cross examination, public scrutiny (just look at this thread!) is most certainly a factor why some do not.

It is essentially the same line of thinking that is "don't wear a short skirt if you don't want to be raped."

No, it's essentially the same line of thinking that is "if you want the guy who killed your kids to be caught you need to tell the cops about it"

Yes, reporting a rape and dealing with the trial etc etc etc is difficult and traumatic. That means we need to increase the support structure and resources to help rape victims deal with the system, not that we need to encourage them to just not tell anyone.

nope, because rape victims have historically suffered a unique stigma. Relatives/associates of a murder victim have not. I hope this helps!

so let's ease the stigma and increase support systems and encourage them to report things like I said, not just close our eyes and say "LA LA LA" as loud as possible

Do you feel the same if we replace the word rape with any other crime? What about just an assault, or robbery, or whatever?

If not, what makes rape so super special and different from, say, attempted murder? Is it the sex thing that gets your puritanical blood all worked up?

He already went over this, rape victims get antagonized more than other victims, so obviously they don't have to report anything and we need to move directly to the Minority Report method of investigation

having never experienced it myself, i too feel comfortable telling a victim what the most rational and correct course of action is and judging them accordingly if they don't do what i imagine i would do in this hypothetical scenario which will likely never happen to me personally

this is my thread title suggestion

i too think that nobody should ever have any opinions about anything other than their own lived experiences. I am qualified to have this opinion because I once tried having an opinion about something else and an Internet person snarked at me about it :(

All prejudice aside, reading a Raymond Chandler novel is infinitely more entertaining than watching Chinatown, why have a MacDonalds hamburger when you could have a good steak?

In this case the steak is a good 300 pages long and the hamburger's running time is 131 minutes; that probably has something to do with it
