Flashback: False rape claim against minority young men was just "the good scare they well deserved" (New York Daily News Columnist Michael Daly)

That's the common rationalization you hear to justify why false accusations and the "preponderance of evidence" things are okay.

Imagine if it were this though...

Being falsely accused of being a terrorist is a good thing. It is the good scare people need to avoid becoming them. It might make them think a little more about how people who die in terrorist incidents might feel. If someone knows an accusation means they might disappear from society to be tortured at a secret facility for a few years because the court would be hostile to them, not needing evidence or proof, then they are less likely to become one. So young men can learn a lot by being falsely accused of being a terrorist. People who would argue against this version of justice are basically advocating that terrorism is acceptable and that it is okay to kill women and children.

Thanks feminists, your "fighting the patriarchy" is playing right into big brother's hands.

Expecting sexists comments against men. Checked comments. Pleasantly surprised. Fuck yea.

I love how the author says "No young woman would consent to having sex with five guys in a bathroom unless she was seriously troubled."

Well, nice to know we have a solid expert on female sexuality here, to tell us exactly what 100% of women do and don't want, based solely on their age. Consent is consent. Personal responsibility, grow it. A bad state of mind is not an excuse to villainize people for performing consensual sexual actions.

Sounds like Daly needs to take a look around Fetlife before he says one more word about what women want.

"Attempted rape instances against minority young women was just 'the good scare they well deserved'".

I don't get how this helps women in any way.

Non-rapists will just tend to be more careful around girls and be suspicious of them, potentially ruining future relationships due to paranoia.

Rapists might think: "If she's gonna sue me, I might rape her as well" (or be more careful so he won't be recognized or something).

It gets worse in the comments.

"Obviously, the reason they're considered to be a bunch of strident, hysterical man-hating bitches is because they're victims of a patriarchal smear campaign. "

Tl;DR Michael Daly is a scumbag piece of shit who would be well served by having his wife threaten to divorce his ass and then have someone tell him that he needs to show remorse for how terribly he treated his wife and gratitude to her for agreeing to take him back.

What. The. Actual. Fuck?

Is the author actually blaming the men for taking consensual advantage of a whore? Who isn't mentally sick in some way or another these days?

And this is why rape jokes are popular now. It's not like they really care about the victims, they just want a excuse to browbeat people.

I hope some crazy bitch accuses Michael Daly so he can share in with a "good scare" himself.
