The word can not be used in nearly all jurisdictions because the offense is not rape, it has different names often too long for a headline. The charge will be in the article but the headline may just be "sex". I did a wee survey looking for a gender bias in reportage and was pleasantly surprised to not find it. What I found was each site has a consistent policy as part of their style guide.

I didn't know anything about car racing so I've just read a bit about F1,2,3 and the W series. W series uses identical F3 level cars that are the same as used in some other F3 series, saving a ton of money. Drivers pay nothing to enter and don't have to find any sponsors or a team - W series is the team. Prize money is distributed relatively evenly, 1/3 for 1st. It is an attractive deal for the top drivers but I agree it will tend to divert the best women from F3 away from F2. I'm not sure it is…

Nobody is eliminating anybody. The effect of W series will be to divert women from F2 and to strip the top out of F3 though. I don't believe the claim W series will succeed in getting women into F1, and even less so with the recent huge increase in F1 downforce allowed. I suspect that may be too much for women unless they can find a way to support their helmet in fast corners. Realistically the W series drivers will be building experience for the F3 races they will also be trying to find work in…

Isn't "catering to women" an adequate stand-alone reason to have a women's series? Why should women be interested in your opinion on whether F1 racing, and the leagues which feed into it, are gender neutral? I'd think they would know far more about that than men. They can make up their own mind and they don't need men's permission to start their own series. You may have an opinion on whether Esports are gender neutral too. The W series is also running an Esports league for women drivers only, us…

So long as the series can pay for itself with TV rights etc, why should they be interested in your opinion of what is fair, or what is fun, or what motivates people to go fast? I used to go fast, for well over a decade. And other dangerous stuff, solo rock and alpine climbing. Never thought about trying to get to pro level but I had a similar level of danger. "Fun" is a complex and difficult subject. "Professional" is also a complex subject. Many or most "professionals" in dangerous sports are a…

Two wrongs don't make a right. Whataboutery can lead to enlightenment, but it more commonly produces messy arguments and ramps up the hostility. It is better to model the behaviour you approve of, and make your criticisms based on agreed principles not sniping about what you perceive as hypocrisy.

The unsupported claim "there are multiple women's days vs one for men" will naturally get you criticised, even if you don't make the mistake of saying it on IWD. Having put people into oppositional frame of mind, your explanation is likely to be resisted. What did you mean, and how could you have framed that in a way that didn't piss people off so much?

Not everything is or should be about equality. Girls just wanna have fun, how is it hurting you? We don't know what W-F1 is "completely for the purpose of", even if they make that claim that it is all about equality. Your claims about what you think motorsport performance components are, and how they are or are not gendered, are irrelevant to the people involved in the women's series. If you want to participate in racing I suggest go-kart racing. You can have a ton of fun and get started with a …

Not at all. There is a popular myth that MRAs love to tell each other - that for rape there are in practice special exemptions from the laws of evidence and the presumption of innocence and the standard of criminal proof, for rape. Typically there aren't. (There are a few minor differences in some jurisdictions). But exceptional cases get cherry-picked from decades of prosecutions around the English speaking world, and spread around as if they are typical. The great majority of raped people don'…

Weddings often have a large financial and social commitment in advance, so to avoid coercion the prenup should at least be signed before that.

In the US 2% of rape complaints to police result in a felony conviction. So even if police, prosecutors and judges and juries totally ignored evidence and made decisions by throwing a dice to get random numbers, a false accusation to police is highly unlikely to put you in jail. But they do look at evidence so the chance of a false accusation being believed are vastly smaller. The chance you would have a false complaint to police in the first place is also very small.

There are various ways to count the % of men, no reasonable method gives anything like 99.9%. You could get part way there if you use circular reasoning, picking a legal or statistical definition which defines all or nearly all female rapists out of existence. To hit 99.9% you would need to add an extra factor - the gendered filtering which occurs at every stage between offending and sentencing.

Teachers are deregistered when convicted. It is done by the teaching authorities not by the court. She won't be employable with children. Parole is not gendered. All prisoners are eligible to apply at the same percentage of their sentence, if their behavior in prison has been OK. Unless it can be shown they have a high risk of reoffending, they are paroled.

Perfectly consistent logic can be applied to horseshit, giving a result of horseshit. the fundamental human right of physical inviolability Yes that principle is certainly breached in rape, and maybe that would be a tort in civil law.

We have the law on age of consent because the risk of catastrophic, irrepairable, life-changing and sometimes life-ending harm is judged to be too high, not because it is inevitable. Your claim that boys are not harmed by this sort of thing is simply wrong. Some are harmed severely. There are victims on this sub.

Do you even know what the max and min times are for that offense in the UK, let alone what typical sentences are for similar offenses? You can't compare to the US because sentences are much longer there. Age of consent in the UK is 16, ie her victim's next birthday. I suspect her position of power over him is an aggravating factor in sentencing. You can look up the sentencing guidelines for any offense, it is easy reading.

Have you lived in a shelter with children while establishing a new life without a car or maybe even a phone? The cost of self contained housing is hugely higher than shared housing. Security and childcare considerations make it even less practical. As in psych hospitals peer support and group therapy is part of the recovery process, along with individual therapy.

The nature of DV makes identification of the perp impossible in most cases. Also the house the perp feels he has a right to is particularly unsafe to a woman whose body he also feels he has right to. Nearly half of IPV killings of women occur during or after they break up, in the woman's mind. The men tend to resist accepting their relationship is over. Scotland has or proposed a law or bylaw allowing a landlord to evict an abuser from a shared lease.

Women's shelters are a service to men too. They help keep men out of jail and save some from being killed. IPV homicides of men were markedly reduced by shelters.

Shelters get nothing from govt until they have demonstrated their own sustainable fund raising ability, and the ability to provide a good service. They can then apply for partial funding. They are normally still reliant on unpaid and underpaid workers. Govt funding is per year and is vulnerable to changes in policy or priority.

Sure, lack of shelters that can take men with children is a problem. One obvious reason for the lack in both govt and public support is the risk of severe violence and death is very different by gender, as is the incidence of severe PTSD. Another point of resistance is the assumption that by default the children are the natural property of the mother, or will usually be safer and better cared for by her, and that she will suffer more from their absence.

It isn't "gender studies" that makes men overwhelmingly bigger and stronger than women, nor does "gender studies" make men vastly more violent than women. Women's fear of leaving abusive men is well founded in the very high partner homicide sex ratio.

Women's shelters are often cited but I wonder if it is also more general economic feasibility of women escaping an abusive relationship. State support for solo parents, unemployment benefits, The increase in women's academic achievement, job opportunities and pay. Cars so cheap that both partners can own one. Labour-saving technologies that make solo parenting much more feasible to do with a job. And maybe an increase in casual and part time employment so it is easier to find suitable work.

93% of DV homicide perps being male sounds about right.

Why shouldn't men and women of colour be treated differently? We do so for the same perfectly good reason that we treat white men and women differently.

There was very much more uniformity and explicit censorship in earlier times, the Hayes code in Hollywood was enforced internally by the studios to avoid government censorship. Each studio was a mini dictatorship.

She says nothing about any objectives outside of herself, she states it is just about herself, and I don't see her implying any of the three wider objectives you claim. "... there's times where I go, 'Yeah, I completely see where this sex would be really good in this film and you basically just need somebody to look hot', so therefore you can use somebody else.

No, I disagree with having the legal term "rape" reserved exclusively for female victims of males. Australia has opened the term up for both sexes and there may be others but my impression is it is more common to remove "rape" as a legal descriptor when attempting to degender the law. I'm also not happy with Mary Koss's reasoning for classifying "made to penetrate" separately, leaving just enough rapes of men by women that it is not obvious that F>M rape has been almost defined out of existence …

This is a common myth. Since 2003 there is an equivalent offence for women with a different name and the same max penalty of life. In the UK anything that could informally be described as F>M rape has a criminal charge and penalty. The lightest offence is sexual assault, max 10 years. There are four possible charges. Women are eligible for three of them but can't get charged with "rape". The women's equivalent was created pretty much purely for women in 2003, before that it was Sexual Assault.

That can be perfectly true, but a certain type of feminist will reflexively jump to that framing to put women back in the victim seat and avoid focus on the harm to men.

This is the case with all criminal law. The victim never "presses charges". Only the police can ever press charges, for a breach of the law. The Crown is always the plaintiff in a criminal case. A judge can order restitution for the victim where their injury has been quantified to the court, e.g. repairs for damage in a burglary. Restitution for personal injury tends to be very inadequate, and criminal court judges do not see it as their place to attempt full an fair restitution. They primarily …

Sickeningly improvements in the treatment and rehabilitation of male prisoners is sometimes justified in terms of its effect on women victims, despite men being the main victims of male violence and crime.

That would be unfair. If they did make such a distinction I'd hope they would include section 4 with rape for support funding purposes at a bulk level, at least.

Sexual assault is a lesser charge, max 10 years. The equivalent offense for F > M rape is called something like "causing sexual activity without consent", it is section 4 of the 2013 2003 law. Max penalty is the same. Minimum penalty is lower, which is good because juries resist convicting if they feel the penalty is too high.

Child custody is decided on the best interests of the child, not given out as reward, punishment or compensation to the adults.

If MRAs were transported back to the 1970s, I suspect the great majority of us would be identified as feminists by the men and women of that time.

I've read the Indian law. OP's "not be arrested" bit is a stupid lie. For non-urgent cases the arrest can be made later in daylight and when women cops are more likely to be available. There is not a hard prohibition on arresting women at night, they can still do it if necessary e.g. there is an imminent danger. OP's example is a stupid lie in that way too, an arrest would obviously be made at night in that case.

Yow, that could be awful. Is that law still applied in parts of Indian society where no real harm is done? "Breach of promise to marry" is a tort in English -derived legal systems. It fell out of use here due to changing social attitudes on virginity, abortion, solo motherhood and marriagability, plus new reproductive technologies. No harm, no foul. But I think it sill exists in law and may still be used to recover wedding prep expenses.

Roy Den Hollander explicitly rejecting the title MRA does not automatically make it a wrong descriptor for him.

You are proposing 1) Police should abuse the law to mistreat an individual without regard to the facts of their case. 2) Police should second-guess judgements of the courts, and form their own opinion on whether there is an overall gender bias applied by the court.

Partner rapes are hardly ever reported at any time because they are so cheap and easy to defend. Even if the woman reports immediately and gets a rape exam done it is unlikely to show anything conclusive.

Another factor is there is often a delay before the victim faces the fact they may have or definitely have been raped. Days, months, years sometimes. People often…

Selective prosecution is good. It enables them to get withdrawals from people who have got themselves trapped in a FA they regret. Otherwise the guy has to go through with interviews of himself and friends and family members, and maybe arrest.

But extremely few, out of the maybe one or two hundred cases I've read about from the victim's perspective.

You are pulling numbers out of your ass and are miles away from the facts. In the US 2.2% of rape complaints to police result in felony conviction. Nearly all of those, 2% result in incarceration. In the UK the conviction rate is usually a bit higher e.g. 4% of reports but lately convictions have been down so far that one lawyer commented rape is effectively decriminalised. In 2010 the UK CPS studied 2500 cases of which 8% had been classified probably false. These were not proven false, no polic…

You might question how you are so certain it is a false accusation, and that the mother knew that. OP and The DM just asserted it was a FA, that doesn't make it true even if it was likely. We don't execute people for things looking suspicious, or very suspicious. And what is the difference between the complainant's mother and yourself? Maybe you can explain, you look like twins to me.

I don't follow your logic but I agree with the conclusion, FA for rape is vastly more damaging than for most other offences. A separate offence might be suitable to deal with "FA for rape, murder and other loathsome offences" or something like that. Perjury has serious consequences but it is hard to prove and only applies to lying in court. "Perverting the course of justice" also has serious penalties, more so if conspiracy is involved. It can be used for offences outside of court e.g. FA. Its f…

The criminal court standard of proof is a thousand times lower than that. "Beyond reasonable doubt" is not usually quantified but when it is the figure I've seen is 98% certain.

Imprisonment is for contempt of court, it is a fine thing to be imprisoned for. The decision having been made, he is trying to arrange a global hate mob to harrass everyone concerned including his child, into changing the decision. Some of this incoming hate will be aimed directly at the child, and there will be brave children around ready to pass on details to the mob.

If it is a conspiracy it is a strangely large and long-running one.

That is facticious personality disorder, it is relatively rare. Someone mentioned another case of it on here last week. BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) also is notorious for producing false accusations.

No that is just the figure for women. Statistics for men have a whole mess of extra differences, they are not comparable and I don't think false accusation has been measured. Conventional wisdom for cops is that straight men would not make a false accusation of rape by a man. And very few men report rape by a woman, not enough to make any statistics with.

In the 1970s the first major book on rape gave 2% and the source of that is no longer extant but it would have been from the NY rape squad and it could only have been for proven false since estimates of total FA were much higher.

those are only the ones that are fully taken to court and proven No. Also it isn't 2% through 10%, the numbers measure different things.

Solo mothers are a known risk factor for sexual abuse in straights. The risk is much more from their male partners than from the mother.

Nobody is assuming anything about "all men". Yes boys need protection. I imagine a single gay man would not be assigned a boy, or a single lesbian a girl. Those can not be written into law though because there is no official register of gayness, it does not have a sharp boundary and it is sometimes confidential. Also the Christians will raise such a stink at an attempt to write it into legislation it would likely not be worth the fight. So it is dealt with by the adoption agencies internally.

No, OP misquoted the law. It is allowed in "special circumstances", which certainly includes family members and others with a connection to the child. The point of the law is to stop a single pedo man from getting approved and being awarded a girl. The risk comes from the fact he chose himself out of a huge pool.

Certainly some men would rather not know, but I agree with your Supreme Court. To my small knowledge, all adoption systems try to contact the father in the hope that he is willing and capable of raising his child.

The GOP has thoroughly endorsed the policy of governing for the benefits of some Americans and not others, to a degree which few people would have thought possible only a few years ago. If governing for half the country is a problem, it is not a problem that anyone with Republican connections has credibility to speak about.

There is no possibility of "equality" being achieved in rape, nor even of agreeing what equality means at a detailed level. The vast majority of rape cases will never be cases in the police sense, even women victims only report 10% - 20% of rapes to police. It depends on how you define and count rape, and we will never agree on those either. Aiming for equal treatment at each stage is a good first principle I guess, but insisting on it will not always be a good idea because there are real gender…

Rape by a random person are not "normal". They are only 14% of rapes in the US. The most common group in the west is friends, acquaintances, workmates. Partner comes next, then strangers then other family. Rape by a spouse is far worse than those by a friend, workmate or acquaintance. It is easier to leave a friend or job, and it is possible to prosecute it. Prosecutions for rape within marriage are practically zero even in the west, unless the partners have separated.

AFAIK only two feminist writers have advocated a slow move to 10% male population: Valerie Solanas in the late 1970s. She was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and used satire and hyperbole a lot in her work, e.g. she advocated keeping the men on an island and issuing them to women like library books. So not entirely serious. Gearhart in the 80s and early 90s I think. Gearhart …

It can take years for people to admit it to themselves, though it is much less of a stigma in bigger cities. The mind is powerful, people can convince themselves of many things. Or they may know and genuinely think they will be able to cope with being married, especially if they are bi to some extent. Some can cope. And I guess some are just dishonest. It will be better for you to find more positive explanations though.

I have a lesbian friend who married a man. Her partner had married two men. 3 children between them, now adults. They both had religious backgrounds and didn't want to face the fact they were lesbian. Some people don't know, and some don't want to know. They both identify as lesbian not bi, they never looked back in the last 20 years or so. There was a lot of this when I was younger, in the 80s a lot of women in their 30s and 40s realised or accepted they were not straight and left their husband…

Feminism has a tradition of resisting the urge to criticise each other publicly. That is partly from wanting to avoid the natural tendency of protest movements to split into unproductive warring factions.

Agreed, the culture of guilt by association if you don't participate in cancelling somebody has a toxic side that has got out of hand in some cases recently. On the other hand almost zero rapes result in jail time (it depends how you count but all sane estimates give under 1% in the US). So the "solution" of pretending everything is fine unless a conviction is obtained does not work either.

IIRC the number for police reports already has 8% subtracted for it for the "unfounded" cases. Doubling the estimate for false accusation produces very little difference in the graph. FA's are detected very early, mostly without interviewing a suspect. The great bulk of the rest is detected without making an arrest. So they make very little difference to most of the figures.

For the courts to try to work out which side was at fault for a marriage breakdown would be a huge toxic mess, it would turn marriage into a strategic zero sum game of trying to make your opponent look like the instigator.

A jump in complaints is not surprising and does not indicate an increase in false complaints, though some would be expected. Most rape victims judge they have more to lose than to gain by reporting, monetary compensation changes that calculation. In the UK one in five rapes is reported to police (source: CSEW), which is in line with international estimates of 10% - 20%. The US is 23% currently, it is always a bit higher because NCVS is quite conservative in measuring rape prevalence. In the UK a…

Yes that was a big part of it. GenderCritical were very much feminists, a branch of the relatively small radical feminist community. Outsiders call them TERFs, Trans Exclusive Radical Feminists. They hated that label. Mainstream feminists often claimed TERFs were not feminist at all, a ridiculous piece of gatekeeping.

If that were true there would be a jump in rape reports to police at the time the compensation was announced, and a jump in complaints classed as "no crime" or false. Giving lump sum compensation for alleged sexual assaults without strict restrictions has been tried and failed in other countries. From what I saw of the UK scheme they were not just handing out money. People who could show they had been unable to work as a result of an attack were given partial compensation for lost wages, it was …

This stuff should be taught in school. Teenage romances, and family relationships can be fully abusive. A lot of problems can be avoided if people know what to look for and have a language to describe it. If they are not or can not be avoided, it is better if people can at least understand what is being done to them.

That is weird for a national organisation to exclude men from its Pride celebration, if that was the only one and there was no inclusive Pride group. What reason did they give for it?

They can also vary from the norm for your biological sex, as can your gender identity.

I'm familiar with this subject and have not seen "major feminists" say the real FA rate could be much higher than the commonly agreed 8% or 10% maximum. There are enough large modern studies for a semi-consensus to emerge. The minimum is maybe 5% or 6% (not 2%, that is the individually provable %).

Wrongful convictions are very important but they are an insignificant fraction of false accusations.

There is a reason for not saying "allegation" when saying about 1% of rapes end up with an arrest. I imagine it is because they are referring to rapes as measured by national surveys (the BJS's NCVS), not allegations of rapes measured by police statistics. The number I remember is that 2% of reports end up with jail time, and at most a quarter of rapes are reported, so about half a percent of rapes end in jail time.

It is highly unlikely you will have enough evidence to determine rape beyond reasonable doubt in a real case. Even trying to guess which story sounds slightly more likely may be beyond you.

Firstly note that "believe all women" is a MRA-generated strawman not a real thing, and you make us look like raving lunatics by perpetuating the fake claim. Nobody is locking up men upon being accused because "believe women". As it happens in the US only 2% of rape complaints to police result in a jail sentence i.e. it is rare for people accused of rape to be jailed. A case has to be extremely persuasive to result in conviction. Of detected false accusations, the detections happen early, well b…

Fine, this has already been done in some countries. All countries have considered it since the intial push for degendering rape in the early 1990s. Most countries moved toward equality somewhat but decided to leave the word rape as requiring penetration by the offender. Some say that is because of the great amount of case law using that meaning. I have no idea. Police forces around the world have been dealing with false rape accusations since their inception over a hundred years ago. Attempting …

It is. The law does not recognise minors of being capable of consent. This derives from a prerequisite for consent, that the person understands what it is that they are being asked to consent to i.e. informed consent. A youngster may well be willing, eager and persistent, but as a child they are also clueless. They don't actually know what it is that they are so eager to do. It is usually years or decades before they fully understand what was done to them, and see it as having been done to them …

That is a point worth mentioning, suicide caused by abuse is classed as suicide not homicide.

We can expect public sensitivity to jokes about violence to remain highly assymetrical for at least as long as partner homicide and severe violence is highly assymetrical.

I think all death threats and that sort of dehumanising talk is universally toxic. I downvote and report it regardless of how much I hate the target. It is impossible and ridiculous for most people to "assume all threats are valid" because that would usually mean moving house and job at the very least, and probably moving cities. It is not feasible to defend yourself against someone who knows where you live and work.

Parole for nonviolent sex offenders is standard practice for both sexes in every country I know of. Once paroled they are under supervision and can be recalled for a breach.

In many cases they are simply following sound legal advice that it would be libel to use the word rape to describe what was not rape according to local law. It is silly to blame the headline writer if you don't know the law in their jurisdiction.

It has not about women's rights, it is about not being possible to convict a person.for an act done at a time they were insane. Men get more psychotic illnesses than women, and men "get away with" murder etc on the grounds of insanity much more often than women. A man who got post-partum psychosis could escape jail too. I don't think it has happened yet because PPP is rare, one in a thousand births. PP Depression is common, and can be very severe. Psychotic features may be a component even when …

The issues are unrelated. Men don't get severe PPD and PP Psychosis. Men do get schizophrenia a lot more than women, and kill children because of it more. They don't get jailed for killing while too psychotic to know what they are doing. Men get more severe hereditary mental illnesses than women, and commit more killingss because of it, and escape prison on the grounds of insanity more often than women. So if anyone wants to make a sex war out of this, men are winning. We "get away with" psychot…

No. Post Partum Psychosis is by definition a temporary illness. Consider the first graph of incidence - it is all in the first month after birth. It can happen before birth too, and after weaning. There are five trigger stages where hormonal changes can set it off. The article gets a bit technical further down but it gives a good introduction to the illness in the first part. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postpartum_psychosis

What "people accept" is irrelevant. There is no difference between sexes for consent. Consent is instantaneous, it can't be given in advance or taken away in retrospect. Either party can withdraw consent at any time. For good reason, bad reason, dishonest reason, secret reason, no reason, malicious reason with terrible timing. Reason is irrelevant unless it affects communication of consent or withdrawal.

Source for "vast over-reporting"? The large modern studies typically estimate about 8% false reports. Even if it were 3x higher at 24% false, that would only reduce the number of rapes by 16%. In most countries the reporting rate is measured by comparing surveys which sample the whole population, to police records of reported rapes. (Minus 8% for unfounded reports, which includes detected malicious or otherwise false or invalid reports). The reporting rate for women is typically 10% - 20%, depen…

He was prosecuted for secretly removing a condom, the condomless sex being unconsented. Was there something else, did a woman wake up in the morning to being porked? That would be rape, it isn't covered by last night's consent if that is what happened. Double bad if there was also no condom.

In the UK F>M rape is under Schedule 4, "causing sexual penetration without consent" or something like that. Same max penalty. The informal usage of rape as ungendered is rarely seen in law. It does exist e.g. Victoria, Australia. But it might be more common to drop the word rape altogether and call everything sexual assault if they want to degender the offense. There seems to be a problem in switching the legal meaning of "rape".

Actually it was not uncommon in 2nd wave feminism which mostly was replaced by 3rd wave around 1990. 2nd wave lives on in some wrinklies and quite a lot in radical feminists, who reject some of the key 3rd wave ideas. 3rd wave feminists nearly all reject both those ideas.

Defense lawyers still try to sneak it in to a jury trial even though some countries ban or strongly recommend against it. Such as the case linked below in Ireland 2018 that caused a storm of protest.

It has changed a lot but yes people still get this, from their own family sometimes.

There is monk mode, abstaining entirely. But that is not popular. Mostly, MGTOW are fixated on women. The idea they are not interested in women is a feminist taunt, they say "why haven't you gone your own way yet?" MGTOWs oppose marriage, they oppose gynocentrism and are for men developing a life outside of focus on women. Which can be healthy, but they often contaminate it with bitterness, envy and outright woman hating.
