48. To see people defending every single rapist

You need only read the threads where an accused rapist is named. Each and every time the same people turn up to invoke the specter of false accusation. They then invoke innocent until proven guilty, which applies to every single accused person in our justice system. No one disputes that. The question is why is it always in the case of rape that it is raised? Why is it so seldom raised in other crimes, and never for women accused of making false accusations?

You could have expressed your point in a lot of ways. You chose to insult those who disagree with you. You chose to distort history. Both of those make your claims specious at best. You chose to present the case as an absolute. Anyone who believes rape victims "without question." Without question doesn't exist. It never exists. We all have the evidence known to us from the press, namely Dylan's account. You choose to ignore that and instead continue to insult me here. Not only that, you haven't even addressed your distortion of the historical record to fit your personal agenda. You have no evidence, no facts, and have relied entirely on generalizations and Insults. I provided a clear case supported with evidence and sources, which you naturally ignored. You have no moral high ground here.

Many people default to believing the accused. Some have a bias toward victims instead. That doesn't make us stupid or unquestioning. It means that we know rape culture hinges on disbelieving rape victims as a matter of course. It happens many times a day in this country, which is why only 3 percent of rapes result in jail time, even as short as thirty days. That we tend to believe victims over accused predators, in your words, makes us "stupid." An ironic comment considering the complete paucity of evidence in your OP and your completely distorted interpretation of the Salem Witch trials.

There is nothing close to a draw. http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4439238
I provided evidence and you provided generalizations and insults.
