[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the women posters here are identifying with the alleged victim and making a lot of assumptions in her favor about what happened that night.  How was there rape beyond a reasonable doubt when she remembers nothing about the course of events and he testified he got consent?  If she was unconscious the whole time and got dragged behind the dumpster, then it's obviously rape.  But if they both drunkenly ran off to hook up in the only nearby secluded place (behind a dumpster) and started mutually getting it on, then it's not rape.  Even if she went to sleep in the middle.  And I haven't heard of any actual evidence, like a third-party witness, distinguishing those two situations.  It's not good enough that the girl says in her statement that she's not the kind of person who would do that.  She doesn't remember.  Or, if she is going to deny consent based on her moral character (I have a boyfriend), she can't complain about being asked about promiscuity, etc., since that goes to the question of whether she consented.

Rape trials used to be so f-ed up against women -- who had to prove that they tried to fight off the attacker, etc. in order to disprove consent -- but now they are so f-ed up against men.  The public presumption has completely switched from consent to no-consent whenever someone is prosecuted for rape.  And the man on trial is lambasted even for having a lawyer defend him or appealing, which is how the legal system works.

Also, everyone is misinterpreting the dad's use of the word "action."  He wasn't saying that his son got 20 mins of action from a girl.  He was saying that 20 mins of behavior shouldn't result in a long prison sentence.  He used action like a neutral word for behavior/conduct because he couldn't say 20 minutes of "sex" or "raping".[/quote]

Do you know the dad? If not, how do you know what he meant?[/quote]
