My dad sent it to me after I had a conversation with him about the legitimate issues of false rape accusations and the dilemma that this poses for sexually active men. TRP philosophy is a very important part of my life, but I also notice that for a group of people that praise "logic" and "rational thinking," there's not a lot of really good discourse on this sub - most of the posts here that I see are mainly self-fellating posts reinforcing currently held TRP tenets.
One of these tenets that I'm curious about is the concept that false rape accusations are as rampant as many TRP users convey them to be. I'd love to see some statistical evidence that I'm wrong, but it seems to me that false rape accusations are few and far between when compared with real rape, and they're very overrepresented on this forum, with in-depth discussion and patting on backs every time a false rape accusation is uncovered. Understandably, false accusations are important to discuss in that they ruin a man's life before the trial even begins, but I think it's important to realize that the vast majority of rape accusations seem to be truthful.
Just my thoughts - I know no one on TRP is condoning rape and the community agrees that real rape is infinitely fucked up, but I think that the inherent suspicion towards all rape that seems to be a part of TRP philosophy is unnecessary.
I'm interested in your thoughts.
