Fear And (Self)Loathing At DU, Or Is It Just Me?

[me b zola]

I posted a thread in GD, ranting about how I am sick of rape & DV always being called "alleged", and the vicims are "alleged victims" in the media. Although not included in the body of the OP, I expressed how I feel that this linked to the fact that these crimes have been historically accepted behaviors of men against women.

I was expecting some men to not get it, but was rather blown away by a couple of females calling my premise "baloney". The nay-sayers all stated that they have heard the media say "alleged robbery", but I swear that I never have.

So is it just me? Am I way off base, or...what???


Here's the thread:
