Rape and the left: Assange, Galloway and the problem with women

[joshcryer]

23. I'm sorry to hear about your experiences.

The woman who was penetrated in her sleep without her consent because she required a condom be used before penetration which wasn't done may not believe she was raped. A lot of women are coerced into believing the drunken one night stand that they weren't conscious to consent to is just normal behavior. That does not mean those people are not being raped.

Sadly I feel for you that you have bought the right wing concept that the rare cases of false rape allegations (in contrast to the epidemic of rape that the world faces) makes, "it imperative that possible motivations for falsely alleging rape must be thoroughly considered when there is no evidence of a sex crime whatsoever except for allegations that cannot be substantiated in any way."

The number one defense in rape cases is denigrating the victim.

No, it is not imperative that "possible motivations must be considered" "when there is no evidence of a sex crime."

"She was drunk! I couldn't help myself. She wanted it!"

edit: and to be clear, the left and right appear to be divided on the rape allegations, it's not right wingers using it against the left as you falsely portray.
