2	Petition to remove SRS from Reddit But the fact that you would rather have all guilty go free so no innocent are in prison is a little disturbing. And I would say it's a little disturbing that you would be all right with innocent people in prison. But to each their own I suppose. It's relevant because of what I pointed out before (you know, about how rape jokes, as rape is something that happens behind closed doors?). I'm not really sure I can explain it much better, I'm still looking for that one specific article but I guess it'…	/r/MensRights	19/10/12 03:06 AM
2	Petition to remove SRS from Reddit You said you "But yes I would trade however many it takes to make sure every innocent goes free" That seems to imply that you are willing to let everyone go free to make sure the innocent go free. The number would never go anywhere close to that high. Also you wouldn't need to simply release a portion of the inmates, only the ones where the evidence against them is on the verge of lacking. I think there is pretty solid evidence against most convicted felons. Murder still doesn't apply as you can…	/r/MensRights	19/10/12 12:01 AM
2	Petition to remove SRS from Reddit There's a specific article that I'm looking for that specifically links rape jokes to a study where admitted rapists thought that all men were rapists and didn't know it was abnormal at least partially due to rape jokes. This isn't the exact article but it gives a good idea of what I'm talking about. This effortpost also goes through a lot of the problems with rape as well. And yet again this way of thinking turns into dust when you realize you could apply this to almost everything in our life. …	/r/MensRights	18/10/12 08:26 PM
1	Petition to remove SRS from Reddit Society doesn't warp men into thinking rape is OK (well, most of us), it's that rape jokes make rapists think that rape is just something everybody does. Rapists interpret rape jokes, and a lot of other things in society (objectification), to justify what they do. I see what you mean, but I don't really agree with it. What about movies with high speed carchases? I can imagine that some of these movies inspire some idiots to try it out for themselves and they end up killing themselves and maybe s…	/r/MensRights	18/10/12 03:00 AM
2	Petition to remove SRS from Reddit Yeah, several. It happens, but it's not nearly as close to actual rape. But what you are saying there is that you are content with knowing that innocent people will be incarcerated. That's the problem I have with your opinion, I think that any legal system's top priority should be to never convict innocents, no matter what. You point out how easy it is to report rape, but then why do so many rapes go unreported? That's the problem with rape is that its not just the rape that's terrible about it,…	/r/MensRights	17/10/12 08:43 AM
2	Petition to remove SRS from Reddit That's not the way I'm thinking at all. For one, murder is a poor comparison for a few reasons but namely because false murder accusations aren't really a thing as it requires a body as opposed to a person. They must be a thing considering people can be convicted without finding a body. Also Notable Murder Convictions Without a Body. What were the other reasons for why it's a 'poor comparison'? Yeah, that's a shitty thing to happen to the dad, but that seems to be failing of the justice system t…	/r/MensRights	17/10/12 02:34 AM
-3	Petition to remove SRS from Reddit You're not looking in the right places. Any r/video where a crime is being committed and the person is black receives an onslaught of racist comments and justification for why blacks are predisposed to crime or are bringing society down. And it's not just troll comments. Are you not going to mention the statistics at all? The 'poor black male' one? Or the 'black culture'? In a 2004 United States Department of Justice report which analyzed carjacking trends over the previous decade, carjacking vi…	/r/MensRights	16/10/12 07:36 PM
5	Petition to remove SRS from Reddit Nobody is getting wrongfully convicted of rape. Yes they are? I've seen number of people who were released from prison years after being convicted because the accuser finally admitted to having lied. This one for example. It would also be pretty terrifying to be raped. Rape happens more, so we should make it at least slightly easier to report rape than to worry about false accusations. So you think rape is worse than being wrongfully incarcerated for years and years? And just because rape happen…	/r/MensRights	16/10/12 07:15 PM
3	Petition to remove SRS from Reddit Wait, are you saying that you are ok with innocent people being wrongfully convicted for a crime as long as it also increases convictions of the guilty? Shouldn't the baseline in any justice system be that no innocent gets wrongfully convicted? You know, the 'innocent until proven guilty' thing? I for one know of few things more terrifying than being wrongfully convicted of a crime, especially if that crime is rape.	/r/MensRights	16/10/12 08:36 AM
-3	Petition to remove SRS from Reddit The problem with that subreddit is that they seem to think that telling a racist/sexist joke is the same as blatant racism/sexism. It's crude and all but a joke is still a joke. Maybe you don't agree with it and that's fine, but other people might so getting upset and moping about other people's taste is just immature. I have browsed reddit for over a year and I think I've only once or twice seen racist or sexist comments being top rated and not downvoted into obscurity. I have seen plenty of cr…	/r/MensRights	16/10/12 08:19 AM
