Read the story here: A man's liberty is in the hands of a 13-year-old girl who accused him of rape. The entire case rests on her testimony. Please note that she had previously recanted a rape claim against her own uncle, and in this case she failed to report the alleged incident for two years. The trial ended in a mistrial, which means the man can be prosecuted again.
And if she's a good little actress -- the man will go to prison for many, many years. She's certainly had experience crying "rape" in the past and might well be called an expert.
Let us be blunt: if you girls want to destroy the life of any man or a boy, just do what this girl did. Angry at your father? Did your brother make fun of you? Did your uncle slight you on your birthday? Just accuse them of rape. If it turns out you lied, you likely will be chided and nothing more. At the very least you will give them the scare of their life, probably cause them to be fired from their jobs and any number of other indignities.
The bottom line, ladies and gentlemen: the system is broken. For what other criminal allegation would we allow a grown man's fate to rest in the hands of a girl?

This case should have been automatically dismissed, due to the liar's prior history of false accusations. If our system is this incompetent when the lie is so obvious then just imagine what happens to men when the liar's history isn't so obvious. Justice in rape cases is a complete sham.
I have a cousin who is a serial false rape accuser. She's been doing it since she was 13. Family get-togethers were tense, to say the least. All the men studiously avoided being anywhere near her and were terrified of being stuck alone with her for even a moment. I'm talking about grown men being terrified of a teenage girl.
All new men and boys that showed-up (like new boyfriends and such of some of the women) were warned as soon as possible about her.
Basically the men were terrorized and all the women were oblivous, and the little bitch clearly got-off on the whole thing.
My aunt died a few years ago so my cousin is no longer invited to family gatherings.
Russ, you've nailed it. While the myth is that rape is a crime of power (it's really a crime of a stronger individual having sex with a weaker one), false rape claims are really a crime of power. How else would that teenage girl you describe have such power over half the population? Not possible. The sad thing is that she was invited to mingle with polite company as you describe.
Arch,
Good point.
Rape is so broadly defined that it has become a meaningless word.
But when feminists first starting saying that rape is a "crime of power" they were actually touching on an important point. Real rape - at least the kind practiced by (a tiny percentage of) White men in America 40 years ago - is, at it's heart, a response to female abuse of power.
Because women have always been privileged over men in Western Civilization an unequal power equation developed. A small number of women abused that power and an even smaller number of men responded to that abuse by raping them.
Of course, today the power equation is so skewed in favor of women that the sheer number of abuses perpetrated against men is staggering.
This abuse is so prevalent that it has become the norm and few people, men or women, even question it.
I don't think that rape was ever a response to female abuse of power, or a projection of male abuse of power, or a crime that had any political significance at all. Rapists are just men and sometimes women who don't respect the law. There is nothing special or politically significant about it.
One exception I'd make to this: prison rape. You can tell by the comments that many people make about it that some of them approve of rape as a means of punishing crime.
" some of them approve of rape as a means of punishing crime. "
Especially if the victim is a male.
Such a desite itself is criminal
If the girl lies, the only way the guy will get out of it is if he has rich lawyers like the Duke guys' parents. (but if that was the case, we'd know it already?)
If a false rape accuser,or any other false accuser for that matter, is allowed to get away with what they have dones or, be given a tiny slap on the wrist, theb it stands to reason that if they did it once, they can do it again and again.
dones should be done and theb should be they
As Dr. Kanin points out, there are some law enforcement jurisdictions that are more "perverted" than others. I believe enabling false rape accusations is a perversion of the course of law, and areas of the country that are more "gender feminist" dominated..are more perverse than other areas of the country.
Like Tennessee, the woman's state.
Rape has never been a crime of power that men (supposedly) have over women. The notion that it has, is an invention of feminists.
It is quite easy to disprove actually: ask someone what the nature of this 'power' is that men have over women. It has never been properly explained, nor has an explanation even been given for WHY one sex would have some kind of inherent power over the other, in the first place....it is a figment of the imagination.
It's easy to get lost in all the nonsensical social 'science'. We need to restore sanity by looking to biology, evolutionary psychology, etc. The recent research from ev psych shows that without question, if there is an underclass it is men.
Part of the problem is that so many people think it's still debatable. It's not.
Really. Science is science.
and science is an exact....well, science!
Are you saying I'm wrong?
