Item 1:

Catherine Comins argued famously that falsely / unjustly accused men can sometimes gain from the experience:

"They have a lot of pain, but it is not a pain that I would necessarily have spared them. I think it ideally initiates a process of self-exploration. 'How do I see women?' 'If I didn't violate her, could I have?' 'Do I have the potential to do to her what they say I did?' Those are good questions."

Item 2:

Naomi Wolf calls Julian Assange's arrest for rape an insult to women worldwide, reasoning that women in developing nations are treated badly, and even women in the US and Great Britain have to meet that nasty 'burden of proof' but even still recognizes that Assange's hard-sought rape conviction (if it is to come) is just a method to get him in jail for the high crime of embarrassing the government.

Item 3:

Just yesterday, Kier Starner argued for reducing the prosecution of a woman who falsely accused her husband of rape:

Last month, a woman was jailed after retracting a rape claim, but freed when the appeal court heard she had suffered violent abuse by her husband.

and used that case to officially issue guidance for prosecutors in Great Britain that they should 'treat "very carefully" cases of people retracting rape allegations.' : She used her position of power to to justify the use of a false rape claim to persecute a man who may have beaten his wife.

So, rape, if it wasn't before, has become the trump card under which a man can be charged when nothing else 'sticks'.

Item 4:

Feminists still promulgate the statistic that 1 in 4 women are raped women are raped despite the problems with Koss' study, namely the wide expansion of the definition of rape. As IWF pointed out: First, challenging her numbers is like denying the Holocaust. Then when the numbers turn out to be shaky, well, they just don't matter.

Item 5:

The dictionary definition of rape: (using the third listing)

1 : an act or instance of robbing or despoiling or carrying away a person by force

2 : unlawful sexual activity and usually sexual intercourse carried out forcibly or under threat of injury against the will usually of a female or with a person who is beneath a certain age or incapable of valid consent — compare sexual assault, statutory rape

3 : an outrageous violation

conclusion and questions:

It's tempting to use rape in the third case ( people already, do, much to feminists' chagrin) Should we continue using it this way? I think so. Why shouldn't we continue with the expanded definition - supported, not only by webster's dictionary - but also by the fact that rape is endorsed as a trump card by Keir Starmer and Catherine Comins as an abbreviated accusation for many other outrageous violations committed by men?
