That's hardly likely. There are a lot of reasons why people don't come forward, and yes, the general emotional difficulty of the trial process is one of them but to say people don't come forward because they're looking ahead at the possibility that their abuser might cross-examine them at trial seems ridiculous.

vasectomy, condom, masturbation, only have sex with women you like and could see yourself raising a child with.

I came here hoping for tips on how to deal with my work boners. Wholly disappointed.

First off, I'm not a man and I'm certainly not an MRA.

If I were to become pregnant at the moment, the primary reason I would terminate that pregnancy would be the financial hardship of the associated costs of pregnancy let alone child-rearing. If I were to carry the pregnancy to term and keep the child, I personally…

Right, I understand that. I understand that for women there's a whole bodily autonomy aspect to it, of course. I am a woman, by the way, and I firmly believe in a woman's right to choose. And I firmly believe that a man should have no control over what a woman does with her body. For me, if I were to become pregnant…

See, the thing is, that's rather similar to saying that a woman who has sex and gets pregnant needs to live with the consequences. I mean, I agree with the heart of your point - men cannot have a say in this. But if a woman has the option of terminating a pregnancy for whatever reason, shouldn't a man have the option…

I'm sure plenty of men would be fine with this as long as the woman didn't expect any child support.

You see, I find your viewpoint horribly disparaging of women. So women are supposed to get more power and somehow be fucking superhuman? Like women aren't just people: that they are somehow super peace bros with the ability to end war because women NEVER have conflict and are peachy little hands-across-the-world…

They'll be just as short-sighted, greedy, prone to making mistakes, and fallible as the average man. That's why we have a democracies, and why need oversight, to remove the bad and to reward the good.

And I realized that men are like children

I've been a woman a long-ass time and I've never wiped anyone's dirty ass or picked up after everyone. The day I start doing that, please kill me.

lol, ok

He's crying. There's real stress there, not mirth.

I kinda side with the Feds on this one. Allowing journalists access to those records could open up a huge can of worms that could hurt victims.

That looks like an expression of great relief. You can call out rape culture and demonize those that perpetuate it, but the man was accused and tried and he was acquitted and I would imagine that was of great relief.

I still find it sad that this site can't even do as little as 1 article about women in business and science kicking ass for every 10 articles about Tailor or Beyonce.

Jezebel would prefer that MALE critics refrain from serving female popstars backhanded compliments, eh? Hint, editors: You're full of shit.

I must have missed the memo where all the male music critics got together and named Carl Wilson their singular voice in pop critique.
