When Rape Allegations Are Fabricated

[mantis]

Oh OK, let me get this right, Skilts who is a male, got r*ped by 3 males sorry, I thought he was just putting up an analogy, saying that if a woman got r*ped, she could try & look at the positives & not focus on the total violation she felt, if I am wrong I apologise.

This subject deserves only serious replys

It is a crime which is mainly gender dependent, any thoughts I have on the subject are pretty much "media exposure" generated, coz frankly I cannot say with any certainty that I know any rape victims.

Guys think of sex as casual liasons, to a guy sex is just an evening of great excitement, then it's finished.
Girls think of sex as a committment to the future, sex is exciting, orgasmic, and even fun for them, but they invest so much of their body, time and health to the consequences of sex, it's only natural that the sex act is sacrosanct to them.

This gender variation has been the "root" of the problems our society has in dealing with rape.

In court we see so many "protections" for the accused, but for the victim, it is almost open season on her morals, integrity and lifestyle. This is so very wrong in so many ways it is particuarly sad.

To a rapist, any rapist, I wish a life of torture and permanent confinement.

To a female fabricating a rape crime I hope that she would also feel the full weight of the law. Does a female doing this not realise she is putting back the rights of women a 100 years?

Asgardian, i still think that there is also a certain amount of females that also think of sex as casual liasons, an evening of great excitment, and so on too. The scenario of a girl picking up a guy at a club or party to take back to their home or his for a quick shag would be popular. Casual sex or having a f*ck buddy would be another one - for a guy to be participating in something like this, there will be a willing girl.

That's basically the point I was trying to make earlier, but better presented.

Where are you Skilts? You got some explaining to do...

Skilts reported the date kept changing many months ago. Didn't know why then and still don't.

Bloody hell, I thought I was the only one!

I have had so many women 'confess' to me that they were r*ped in the past. It has happened so many times now, that I have become desensitised to it, and as soon as a female friend of mine starts the convo that begins...."Well, I think we have become really close, and I want to share something with you, something that I haven't told many people....." I just know what's coming, and raise the figuritive 'hand'. What can they possibly hope to achieve by telling me this, that I'll feel sorry for them and therefore date them? How pathetic is that!

It just gives me the irrits. There cannot possible BE that many rapists in the world. FFS, at the rate I seem to run into rape victims, at least half of my footy team, a third of my family, most of my male co-workers and every bloke on the number 8 tram from Toorak must be moonlighting as a rapist!

Now I don't want to make light of a very serious matter, and let me make it perfectly clear that I abhor rape and its associated crimes....but strike me pink, if I hear one more chick I barely know 'confess' to me, I'm gonna scream.

Ah it seems like its the latest craze which only causes heart ache for the real rape victum's and problems for the guys accussed.

There's not enough protection for victims of rape.

There's not enough protection for victims of false accusations.

Tough line to draw. All claims must be treated as serious, but I know of at least 2 girls who 'retracted' their feeble rape claims after pronounced holes in their story were found, and another who's claim was bogus, but because she only denied it months later, the damage was done. Because we assume guilt over innocence in the public sphere, his character was wrecked.

Likewise, I know a girl who claims she was r*ped at 15. I genuinely believe her, and it strikes fear into me that someone could do it to her. I can't doubt her. I don't think she'd have anything to gain by saying so. But if there is a speck of doubt, things are made so much more difficult.

It's largely due to the 'liars' that the 'truth-tellers' are subjected to such (arguably unwarranted) scrutiny.

It's largely due to the 'guilty' men that the 'innocent' men are are subjected to such (arguably unwarranted) scrutiny.

The abhorrant nature of the act immediately makes it so ambiguous. To be honest, I still feel that the amount of lying on behalf of attention-seeking or vengeful women means we'll never be able to decipher who did what to whom. That's a tragic shame because the real victims of rape may never feel comfortable in revealing what happened and who committed the deed.

However, ultimately it's worse for a innocent man to go to jail than a guilty man be set free.

Sorry I haven't got back on this subject before now. Like others on these boards, I've been having difficulty logging on all day. In my case, typing 'BigFooty' gave me access to a podiatry site. Go figure.

Fred's post is correct, in that my DOB on my profile has been irreversibly changed, about six months ago. Unlike some people on these boards, I was quite happy to have my DOB of 14/9/1948 displayed on my personal information. My reason for doing this was to leave no doubt about my age when dealing with the likes of the 12-16 year-olds who frequent these boards.

With regard to the rape, it was committed by three criminals, when I was about 17 years old. They weren't just rapists, they were also thieves. I found myself in a house with these men, with no one else there to come to my assistance. I was living a life in which I came into contact with a lot of people of dubious reputation, so it wasn't totally unexpected, in hindsight. This in no way is meant to excuse their actions, or those of anybody else who forces someone to do something they don't wish to.

I am in no way trying to diminish the effects of rape upon whomever it is perpetrated. What I'm trying to say is that if we consign the recipients of unwelcome sexual attentions to instant victimhood, it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. There is another point of view available.

P.S. I have also met a lot of women whose first sexual experience was a rape, usually in a car. I also questionned its frequency. I have subsequently come to the conclusion that the reason I was told this so often was because it happened so often. The common feature of all of the rapes I heard about was that they went unreported. The hidden epidemic.
