I'm pretty sure you're right. Again, it varies by jurisdiction. In Alabama (for example) the age of consent is 16, but there is no offense if the other party is under 19.

A harder rule for people in their early 20s to live by.
/r/MensRights18/01/17 10:53 PM

That's a hard legal distinction to make. Maybe it requires some affirmative evidence that the offender thought the victim was of age, even the victim just saying so. If you ask someone if they are 18 (or whatever) and they say yes, why should you be legally accountable? But that's why the age limit is in there, because there is the belief that at a certain age (like 13) a belief that the victim was 18 is not credible.

I think it depends on the jurisdiction, actually. In some places if the offender does not have knowledge that the victim was underage then it is not a crime. Unless the victim is younger than a certain threshold (14 maybe?) then regardless of the offender's knowledge, the crime stands.

Show me numbers. Abuse/assault are wide ranging terms. Are we taking about reported incidents or all incidents? You're quibbling over semantics. Should she have used the word "rare"? Maybe, maybe not. But that doesn't make it a sexist statement or her attitudes about preventing abuse/assault sexist.

10-20% can be rare, depending on the context. And I have absolutely no idea. It depends on where you live.

And there is nothing relevant between being a man and sexual assaults on women. Yes there is. When you're talking about heterosexual rape/sexual assault of non-minors. While female on male rape/sexual assault does happen and is no laughing matter, I believe male on female rape/assault is far more prevalent. I will accept any statistics though, as it has been hard to decipher the perpetrator/victim statistics so far. <No more than any other wrong. I'd say it's definitely worst than SOME wrongs. A…

Different people can have different mathematical interpretations of the word "rare". But I'll argue that's beside the point. Her comment was about the problems with assaults that women face. A lot of the time these assaults stem from a sexual nature and are committed by men. Do you deny that sexually related assaults on women is an issue worth combating? There is no corollary if the statement was made about black people since there is nothing relevant about them being black that has to do with m…

OPs article twisted that phrase into meaning that all husbands and boyfriends abuse their wives/girlfriends. When that's not what she said. Her statement was that the majority of women AT SOME POINT IN TIME have suffered abuse. And when you factor in someone's whole life, that's a lot of opportunity for abuse. Like saying it's a rare thing for a man to never have been punched in the face. It doesn't mean the majority of men are under constant attacks, it means that at some point during their liv…

Commenting on sex or gender does not automatically equal sexism or misandry. Saying that men can do things to help combat sexism isn't the same as saying that men are bad and the cause of bad things.

I don't see anything bigoted in these statements. She doesn't say anything negative about men, only comments about how men can make this a better world for men and women. Sorry to go against the comment flow, but I don't like to see this sub reach for outrage.

I get that...but it was before she even got on the plane. I mean, who cares? They didn't kick her out of first class or anything, did they? She didn't change seats, her seat was changed before she got on the plane. How was she inconvenienced? I can see a circumstance where this would be a hardship, but this doesn't seem like one.

Chive article: Hottest female athletes competing in the 2016 Rio Olympics

The article used false quotations to directly imply that rape was part of the fraternity initiation. Just because the Judge found that idea ridiculous (because it is) does not mean that the article was not falsely claiming it. "Then they egged him on: 'Don't you want to be a brother?' 'We all had to do it, so you do, too.' Someone handed her classmate a beer bottle." I don't know what else you could take from that than the suggestion that this fraternity used rape as an initiation. And that seem…

If a black actress played Hermione, then same standard would be for a white person allowed to portray a traditionally black character. Black face is a little different. Who even wants to do black face anymore? There are much more modern ways of handling it. Robert Downy Jr. in Tropic Thunder for example.

Well, for the most part fans are sane enough to not care what relationships the actors are in in real life. It's just about wanting certain relationships in shows to work out, or for certain people to get together. It's usually pretty normal considering how much of TV is devoted to relationships. And yeah, it's right up Tumblr's alley.

My view is that taxes can be used on anything that might promote the general welfare. That is, of course, a genera term. And we elect representatives who we believe will best promote that interest. I would hope that anyone promoting funding for an issue would provide some research of why it is a public good and not simply a "I don't want to pay for it myself" good.

news link So it seems like she said no to unprotected sex, he penetrated her, she said stop, he stopped, he put a condom on, she said yes, they had sex. Now I'm not saying it was ok for him to penetrate her after she said no to unprotected sex. That could be rape. But isn't it so easy to look at the situation as a whole to see that this was a consensual relationship?

Wow, how can you shoot somebody and then continue to ask the person to show his hands? I want cops to be able to protect themselves but there has to be a requirement that more is necessary for deadly force than simply not seeing a suspect's hands.

Well, if it's a statutory rape issue then yeah, they usually are asking for it. The law just says "asking for it" is no defense if one party is under a certain age.

I see organizations using the excuse of "harming the brand" by being a public figure and having dirty laundry exposed to the public. That doesn't make it right. But who to blame? The organization or the public opinion machine that gets hyped up, especially about domestic violence.

Considered innocent by the law, and should be treated so by society, for the most part. I get that there are exceptions. Like, if a priest is accused of molestation, I get that the church might want to put him on a leave of absence while the issue is worked out. But I'd hate that if I got accused of battery my office would fire/suspend me while the case was still pending.

I don't think sports starts should be suspended for things not related to the playing of the sport. The same as with any profession. It shouldn't have happened to Ray Rice and it shouldn't happen to Hope Solo.

That doesn't mean a person shouldn't take the threat seriously at the time. I agree with u/Ian078 that Serkeesian is the worst. But some threats are done it away to seriously make people fear for themselves.

If I remember 40 Days and 40 Nights correctly, the man ties himself down in an effort to prevent himself from having sex (or masturbating) for the final hours of his pledge. His ex comes and in some fashion has sex with him. He is hallucinating at this point and "participates" (as much as a guy can being tied down) because he is imagining he is having sex with his actual girlfriend. The scene is not played for laughs, necessarily, even though the movie is a comedy. While the movie may not give t…

If I was raped you're damn right I would aggressively campaign for a conviction, regardless of the evidence. And yes, the best way to get a conviction is to go to the police/hospital immediately and report it. But the simple fact of waiting some period of time should not ruin a person's chance at justice.
/r/MensRights05/02/15 04:58 AM

It's a good point about publicity. There's a danger in using the media, especially social media, to spread allegations of rape. That being said, there's also a danger about telling a person she can't say anything she can't prove. Instead we should change how we react to allegations and not treat them as truth.

I didn't read anything in the Daily Beast article about her being scorned. Is that the case? Or just a working theory of why she would say what she said if it didn't happen?

I will agree with you that these things should not be made public so quickly. But a person who feels she has been sexually assaulted has every right to report it. Her testimony IS evidence. It should just not be enough to, alone, label someone a "rapist."
/r/MensRights04/02/15 04:47 PM

Yes, but that doesn't mean that every accuser who can't prove someone guilty is a liar. I still consider him innocent, but have no good reason to think she is a liar.
/r/MensRights04/02/15 04:46 PM

How? How does it mean that? Isn't it indicative of a lack of evidence, evidence which does not always exist in every case?
/r/MensRights04/02/15 03:58 PM

We probably shouldn't use "falsely accuse" in this case. Just because he was not found "guilty" by either the college disciplinary panel or the law does not mean he did not commit sexual assault or rape. What the story does highlight is the need for due process and to not demonize and declare guilty any person simply because there is an accusation.

My understanding of the Bill in relation to alcohol is: 1) An accused can't say "I was drunk and though the accuser consented." 2) Consent is not valid if an accused knew or reasonably should have known that the accuser was incapacitated due to alcohol to a degree where he or she "could not understand the fact, nature, or extent of the sexual activity." 1 makes sense to me. 2 does not. How is a person supposed to judge consent under circumstances like that?

Yes, I definitely didn't pay enough attention to the second half of the video, so that's on me. The cherry-picking is a good point, I'll admit. I don't think it's quite as strong a point as he'd like though since Whedon's examples exist to make the opposite point. I'm not sure the same could be said for any of the video game examples. That is not to say Anita is correct by any means.
/r/MensRights05/09/14 02:53 PM

I will agree with your point, but I did not get that point from the video. The video was trying to make Whedon a hypocrite for putting in his movies the same subject matter Anita finds offensive. But I suppose a more clever point may have gone over my head.

This bit isn't so much about her opinion on circumcision as it is a commentary on how prevalent circumcision is in the U.S. and how girls and young women can react to it with ambivalence because it is "different" or "scary" and in some unfortunate cases "ugly". I can't fault her for using that experience as a woman for comedy. What's needed is better education and exposure to the idea that it is perfectly fine to be uncircumcised.

In a certain context I bet it could work as a joke. The reason it's harmless here is that she is spurring the crowd to action and the comment has nothing to do with the larger point of the talk. There's simply no point in attacking comments like this, especially when meant as a light joke.
/r/MensRights06/08/14 06:42 PM

It's a joke. And the talk appears to be about highlighting women's issues around the world, including many places where women are seriously marginalized. I don't see anything wrong with that. Seriously, she is joking. To jump on a soundbite like this marginalizes more serious issues on this sub.
