Not everyone has time on DCUM to sift through 22 pages to find one instance. However it is pretty clear. If you want to talk about rape you have to admit that there is a growing problem of false rape accusations and it is not clear cut as "not giving consent".

There is a growing problem of false rape accusations? There are more false rape accusations than there used to be? Could you cite some evidence for this statement, please?

But, in fact, it is entirely possible, not to mention reasonable, to talk about rape without talking about false rape accusations, just as it is possible to talk about (for example) burglary without talking about insurance fraud, or workplace injuries without false workers' compensation claims. Don't have sexual contact with a person without their consent; don't take stuff from people's houses without their permission; don't expose your workers to unsafe working conditions.[/quote]

What I object to is the assumption that just if mothers teach their sons to respect women, the issue of rape will disappear. The truth is MOST MEN WILL NOT DREAM OF RAPING WOMEN. Its a subset of evil people, no matter how much you teach them to respect the other person, who will commit evil crimes.

When it comes to rape, the whole issue why people are focusing on this teach your son to respect women is due to a supposed epidemic of rape. So that's why we are talking about false rape accusations because we are pointing out is unfair to assume all men are evil people out to rape women, and that currently the whole climate of rape has warped what rape actually is..leading to every contact being suddenly sexual assault.

You keep talking about don't have sexual contact with a person without their consent. We're pointing out to you that it is hard to prove consent even when there was consent. This is a serious issue that can derail a young man's life. So yes we take false accusations of rape seriously. Just as we take a rape victim seriously. In this current climate there are victims on both sides.[/quote]
