A man's life is in tatters over what might just be a false rape claim. And hardly anyone gives a damn.
Another "he said/she said" date rape claim ends with a not guilty verdict for the man accused, former Cleveland sportscaster Terry Brooks, but not before he lost his job and saw his good name dragged through the mud.
Mr. Brooks was found not guilty of raping a 22-year-old woman in September 2009. The woman's anonymity is preserved by compact of the US news media, while Mr. Brooks' name will be forever associated with the term "rape." Even though the only two people who will ever know for sure what happened are Mr. Brooks and the unnamed accuser.
The alleged victim claimed she and Brooks met for drinks at a local bar and that she drank too much throughout the evening. After supposedly becoming very intoxicated, she agreed to have Brooks give her a ride home. The woman claimed, instead of driving to her house, Brooks drove to his South Euclid home and raped her.
Mr. Brooks claimed the sex was consensual. There was no physical evidence in the case. The alleged victim waited four months to come forward.
A classic "he said/she said" case, right? Yet, when Mr. Brooks was indicted for this alleged crime last August, his station involuntarily "placed [him] on a leave of absence until the facts are determined and we can evaluate his future with the station." He ended up resigning from his position as weekend sports anchor at WEWS on Oct. 7, two months after the indictment was announced.
After the trial, a man who identified himself only as the father of the alleged victim yelled at Brooks, "You are not going to get away with it. Trust me, I do not appreciate what's gone on. She's a good daughter. And if she said he did it, he did it."
So, yet another case where the very accusation against a presumptively innocent man became its own conviction. A man's life is in tatters over what might just be a false rape claim. And hardly anyone gives a damn.
It's as if the public humiliation to a man accused of rape is a fitting punishment because, after all, he must have done "something."
Oh, how far we still have to go.

Men < Roadkill
If you are reading this, and you believe contrary to popular academic protocol that men are testosterone poisoned, rather that you are a bright and beautiful male then you are very rare and you are the resistance.
Many wimmin, and manginas, choose to be fascist puppets to the tyranny of continually multiplying, rent-a-boy government oligarchy.
Psychotic cunts, I'd rather die than give you control.
Cf. J. A. and R. Goldberg, in Girls of City Streets for an analysis of 1,400 cases of alleged rape. Some time ago the Louisville Times decided to print the names of women who complained of rape in cases where the defendant was found not guilty. It was apparently found necessary to do this as a protection for men against the designs of frustrated and sex-starved women. In 1943 a girl of seventeen complained that she had been raped by twelve men during a cinema performance at the Bronx Opera House, where some time previously a woman had stated she had been raped twenty-five times!

This story reminds my own experience (just a month ago) with an exception-the accuser was my ex-wife and there was only an attempt.
Jurors were out with Not guilty verdict in less than an hour.
I, however, lived through 16 months of hell-losing almost everything I ever cared for.
What pisses me off that there aren't any legal ways to come after a lying accuser! This has to be changed!
i think, we should do the following:
- complete identification of women who lied about rape in the media, newspapers, radio
- complete and lifelong anonymity for man - even if he was found guilty of rape, since there is always a great probability wrong, compromised verdict
- severe criminal penalties for women who are not even discussed - from 10 years in prison
- lifetime alimony in favor of men as victims of aggression by women
- the woman lied about rape, should be equated to a full sex-offender, that is, registration, flogging in the media, other
- a man should give 10-15 thousand dollars as compensation in a lump
As a woman, I hate it when girls falsely accuse men of wrong doing. (I call them girls because they are clearly not mature)
It not only clogs up the system, but throws a bad light on women who may have ACTUALLY been raped, and have physical evidence to prove it.
It's almost like girls can say what ever they want and they think they will get what they want. This is almost what some irrational (not all) modern day feminists purvey in their messages. There is a big difference in equality between men and women, and letting girls get away with what they want.
Not all men are dicks.

Are you suggesting these women lied?

It goes way beyond immaturity. It is the hypothesis of many of us that have looked at the issue that false accusers often have Cluster B personality disorder (narcissistic, histrionic, or borderline personality disorders).
From Angry Harry:
http://www.angryharry.com/esRapeBaloney.htm
"Some 5% of women have Borderline Personality Disorder or something close to it. Features of this include the habitual making of false accusations of some kind of 'abuse' - often in order to seek some kind of revenge. For women with BDP, seeing oneself as a victim of someone else's actions is almost a permanent state of being. And given that some 1 million women in the UK and 5 million women in the USA have this condition, the various allegations of 'abuse' that are made every year - sex assault, domestic violence etc - are, undoubtedly, mostly the result of these women attempting to portray themselves as victims.
Furthermore, if you can believe it, the various 'data' collected on the basis of the testimony of this relatively small group of dysfunctional women is then multiplied by incompetent academics and various government departments in order to figure out what is going on in the rest of society!
Thus, and for example, if 30% of women claim to be 'violated' every year, and 5% of women are 'dysfunctional', then these latter women would not account for much of the data.
But if, as appears to be the case, only 1% or 2% of women claim to be 'violated' every year, and 5% of women are 'dysfunctional', then the likelihood is that these 'dysfunctional' women are the ones making nearly all of the claims.
As such, 'professionals' who extrapolate the evidence gleaned from the collective testimony of these women to the rest of society are either charlatans or incompetent.
Mostly, one discovers that they are both.
