Women love the power of implication. It gives them a necessary "out" to preserve their egos and lets them rationalize their inane arguments. See, when you implicity state things over and over, drawing somebody to a very obvious conclusion, you already have a built-in "out" with implication. All that you have to do is assert the position that you never actuallysaid/statedthose things, despite your implications leading any sane, rational person to said obvious conclusion.
Wouldn't this also make Tanoomba a woman? Mind potentially blown.

How is sitting down "1000 times more hygenic?" I have to come into contact with the seat and may have water splash up on me. My pants may come into contact with the floor. The urinal is the superior receptacle.

I'm constantly sick of people mischaracterizing my own posts.

I never once said anything about raising the standard of evidence or changing the burden of proof.


Let me break it down for you Mist, so you can drop the act that everyone is misunderstanding you and we are all sociopaths or sociopath apologists. You will propose some thought experiment like "a sex contract". People talk about all the problems that entails; and, even ignoring those for a moment, note that even now there are cases where people have texts proving the sex was consensual and it doesn't matter, many feminist organizations still attribute this to victim blaming. These same organizations are the ones pushing this whole "predatory theory of college rape"--which is precisely what you seem to subscribe to. Which was put forth by a PsychologistDavid Lisak, if I'm not mistaken. The problem is? The studies we have of colleges using preponderance investigations, which have a far lower standard of proof, still show a dismissal of a majority of cases. (One study said 45% of all rape cases are just not pursued, and an additional 7% of them OUTRIGHT fraudulent, like provably so. Over a ten year period, I'll try to dig up the link.)

This illustrates that a HUGE amount rape accusations, which you say are typically always accurate due to how predators work and the "shame" in reporting? Are not accurate at all. This, for me, really calls into question the theory that 95% of rape charges (Or 98% as most feminists peg it, which I don't even know where they source that one from); are completely accurate, and all the charges were due to predation of violent sociopaths. It seems like quite a few accusations might be due tootherforces, and might, in fact, NOT involve sociopaths, but rather forces such emotional trauma from break ups, and people being assholes exacerbating that trauma (Which makes them assholes, and you are right on that count, women have a right to tell everyone they are--but it does NOT make them rapists. But this presents a huge problem if we change the standard of innocence, and you ARE asking for that to change.)

But when we try to explore how these things can hurt Good Guy Greg (Which also would explain why the base assumption of innocence/reasonable doubt is changing)? You revert back to the predation theory (That Greg does not exist. IE Your base belief is already established, making this entire argument suggestive by nature because itassumes for fact what is actually a variable), and how by not giving women more power, we are protecting sociopaths.The "women more power" is the attack on reasonable doubt/presumption of innocence, by the way, Mist. Whether it's byincreasing bureaucracythrough sex contracts so that it becomes quite easy for any woman to find an error in the "red tape" of sex (And thus the onus of proof defaults to the man, because your system de facto assumeshe is always the perpetratorand must maintain/deal with the red tape. ) OR bylowering the standard of proofso victims are more readily believed.They are BOTH lowering protections granted by the assumption of innocence.They are both giving the assumption of being victimized, and protections of that assumption to women. (But if you don't believe this Mist. Assume a woman AND man cry rape at the same time, neither has sex contracts. Who is guilty? Yeah, don't even bullshit me; it's the man. And by there we see the assumption of guilt.)

You don't see that said assumption would make things unequal because your bias automatically views things as naturally unequal--women are victims, men are predators and the state needs to suspect men to balance that out (IE just like that one feminist tard who said men NEED to be scared in order to end rape). Your thought experiments? Defaults men into the position of guiltyunless they have PROOF they are innocent. Rather than the current system, where an ACCUSATION is made and BOTH parties are considered innocent while a third party investigates wrong doing. How you do not see this? Is beyond me. But seriously? Accusing people of being rape apologists because they can grasp this VERY simple concept, and then acting depressed because evewyone is so mean and ebil! Is bullshit. Grow up.

I'm operating under the assumption that a very very very tiny fraction of women are willing to go through the ridicule and character assaults and other accusations that go along with accusing someone of rape, if it didn't happen. The reason these false rape accusations make news is because they're so rare, where rapes are, by comparison, NOT rare and therefore not really news. I think the fear of false rape accusations is far more the case of media sensationalism than the fear of actual rapes.
You live in a country - maybe the ONLY country - in the world where more men are raped every year than women. This is never discussed by the media because it happens in prison and who gives a fuck about prisoners?

According to the FBI 8% of rape accusations are "unfounded". In 2005 the British Home Office Study found a similar 8% rate for what they called "False" allegations. That's statistically significant. Regardless of whether or not a claim is out and out false, over half of rape allegations result in no conviction due to insufficient evidence.

Also, this is hilarious to me:
According to a survey of 20 American law enforcement officers done in 2004, officers believe that the typical person making a false accusation is "female (100%), Caucasian (100%), 15?20 years of age (10%), 31?45 years of age (25%), or 21?30 years of age (65%)".[2] A false accusation may be perpetrated out of a desire for attention or sympathy, anger or revenge, or to cover up behavior deemed "inappropriate" by their condemning surrounding culture.[2]

Statements by the Finnish Police estimate that false rape accusations have risen in like manner with female alcohol consumption in the country and that many false rape accusations are made when intoxicated. Many of the people falsely accused of rape are men of immigrant background.

Well the one at my work place is shaped just perfectly to spash about half of your piss on your knees when you piss is it. I refuse to use it anymore so there are very poorly designed urinals out in the wild.

People have been calling moon bat a chick since the beginning.
Yeah, I've suspected for a long time that she has been trying to pass herself off as male, because in her warped reality, she thinks that by simply being considered male, her arguments somehow gain more credibility.
Quoted for posterity. The ignorance on display here is mind-boggling.

I'm not disputing any of those things.

What I'm saying is that if 'fear of being raped' is considered irrational and not worth worrying about because we're below some arbitrary number of 'acceptable rapes' than fear of being falsely accused of rape has got to be even more unfounded and irrational since it is even rarer. The number of actual rapes is still an order of magnitude higher than the number of actual false accusations of rape, period.

Also please keep bring up the prison system, or the number of men being raped in the military, because both are fucking HORRIBLE and absolutely need to be addressed.

That's a whole lot of words for someone who doesn't understand the difference between 'not enough evidence to proceed' and 'false accusation.' Also arguing a ton of things I didn't actually say, as usual.

I didn't even propose the sex contracts, they sound fucking retarded. My hypothetical question was that if such a preposterous legal device DID exist, and it led to girls having more sex by lowering fear/cost/risk of sex, do you think men would put up with it?

I ask this hypothetical because what I get out of this whole discussion is most of you believe, explicitly or implicitly, that the rising fear/cost/risk for young men of engaging in sex is turning young men away from wanting to engage in sex. But that fear/cost/risk calculation is the very same one that women havealwayshad to deal with, which has got to be a large contributor to why women are generally less interested in sex than men are.

This is game theory. There's got to be some kind of Nash Equilibrium between the fear/cost/risk of male sexuality and the fear/cost/risk of female sexuality that would lead to men actually gettingmoresex.

I also like to think of sex as Global Thermonuclear War. I call my penis the Titan II, on its way to wreck Vaginagrad.
