"However, crazy bitches exist."

That's incredibly misogynistic. Do you mean to imply that mentally ill women can't be raped? You do realize that rapists deliberately target vulnerable women, like ones with mental illnesses, because their odds of getting away with it are greater?

Currently there exists no other crime to…

Yes, I'm aware of her mental issues. But this is typical victim blaming, on-par with focusing on how a victim was dressed or past sexual behavior. A history of lying doesn't immunize a person from rape, and many rapists have gotten away with their crimes because their victims were less than perfect.

Of course you would think that suspending our assumption of innocence in rape cases is a stupid idea: you're too invested in the societal impulse of disbelieving rape victims and letting rapists walk free. Presumed innocent until guilty is a nice ideal, except that in the case of rape cases, it systematically…

I've said before and I'll say it again: I'm serious. Check out my commenting history indeed. This is what I believe. These are things I tell people in real life.

The vast majority of rape victim recantations are done to disengage the victim from the consequences of issuing the accusation, whether it be threats of violence, skepticism from law enforcement, or general social pressure. If there's solid tangible evidence that the rape could not have happened, then we could…

If a neutral source (someone who doesn't know her) can put her at a different location on that night (we know the whereabouts of Oberst already), that would be sufficient for me.

That might be sufficient for a failure to convict on lack of evidence, but recollections are notoriously unreliable, and plenty of actual rapists have gotten off on minor mistakes of details in victim testimony. As I said, we can't discount the possibility that the rape happened.

He might escape conviction in a court of law, but plenty of actual rapists get off too. Not being convicted is not proof of innocence. The point is that we don't know. Just because there was a recantation doesn't mean the rape didn't happen. Pressure to recant is common, and there's every motivation of the rapist to…

Well, if there's evidence showing that she couldn't have been raped by him, then that would clear him. But rape victims are routinely pressured and coerced/threatened into recanting their accusations (remember that recent case where the girl's family was forced to move and their house burned down?), so I'm sorry, but…

Why? Is it out of the question that with Oberst's immense resources enough pressure was placed on this woman to recant?

Uh, how do we know she wasn't coerced into recanting?

Fuck Scalia, fuck Thomas, fuck Roberts, fuck Alito, they need to die, and Kennedy needs to be at the very least beaten unconscious. This is literally the WORST thing EVER to come out of the supreme court.

If you are a man who read this and immediately thought "but I don't hurt women," you are part of the problem. We as men are responsible for the actions of each and every member of our gender. If some scumbag out there is hurting women, it's our job to stop him. Instead, we stand by and whine "but I don't do that!" If…

I'm saying that many wars have been fought for the cause of respect and equal treatment, because that's often what it takes. Expecting those things to just fall into your lap without any loss of life is just naive.

Well, at least you admit to being an MRA scumbag. Do pray tell, just how much power and influence in society should men allow women to have?

Now that's interesting. Are you saying that most men who harass women are black?

Oh I see, so you're basically saying "but how will you get your proposal implemented when men are so aweeesoooome and pooooowerful? I'm so conceeeeerned!" GTFO you MRA scumbag.

I can see how you might think that, but I'm serious about this. If it takes men dying to stop them from harassing women, then our options are to live with harassment as our reality, or start killing.

Psychologically dominant? I don't buy that. There are physical differences between men and women, but the sexes match up evenly in mental areas. As for requiring the acquiescence of men to do anything, I think you overestimate the solidary of men to each other. If we were such bros to our fellow men, we wouldn't be…

I always do what? Write posts stating what I believe? Just because you hate what I think doesn't mean I don't think them. Maybe engage with the ideas instead of trying to bury what you don't want to deal with or think about?
