Same old, same old.

"When I decide to go for a jog at o-dark-thirty, the possibility of being mugged never crosses my mind. I don't carry that burden the way a white person does. So the fact that a white guy can accuse me of mugging and I could be sent to prison just based solely on their word is a trade-off I'm willing to live with"

Men are 10x more likely to be physically assaulted than a woman is to be raped.

During the 12 months prior to interview, an estimated 40,700 Australians (0.2% of the population) aged 18 years and over were a victim of sexual assault. This included 26,400 female victims (0.3%) and 14,400 male victims (0.2%).

and

During the 12 months prior to interview, an estimated 498,000 people experienced at least one incident of physical assault in Australia (2.7% of the population), with more males estimated to have experienced physical assault than females (3.2% and 2.2% respectively).

Both excerpts are from The ABSs Crime Victimisation, Australia, 2012-13

For stuff actually reported to police:

In 2012, victims of assault were more likely to be male than female across most of the selected states and territories, with the exception of the Northern Territory and Western Australia

(there's a lot more detail in this one) and it's from 4510.0 - Recorded Crime - Victims, Australia, 2012

Since when does being fair mean we should all be treated equally bad?

You seem to think that its that easy to convict someone of rape. Its not. Hard evidence is needed. Accusations rarely get anywhere without proof.

What a weak little sod.
