Mother Jones article casts serious doubt on a cause celebre rape case; feminists swarm comments damning them for presenting evidence.

Very interesting article, first time I've read a comprehensive review of this case and Jones' story seems to have a number of significant holes in it.

On a side note, most of the commenters seem to take as an article of faith that it is impossible to consent to sex when one is "blacked out" I had always interpreted this phrase to mean alcohol-induced amnesia, distinct from being "passed out" or unconscious. I assume the commenters are confusing these two phrases.

I've certainly done many things that I wish I had not while intoxicated and had not the slightest recollection of them, but I still did them. Had any of these actions been crimes I certainly would have been held responsible for them. Surely someone can consent to have sex while drunk and forget about it, right? This would not legally be considered rape, or would it?

How long until Mother Jones gets labeled "the patriarchy" ?

The logic of feminist arguments in these cases always puzzle me. When trying to figure out if someone is telling the truth, is it not natural to ask if they have lied before?

And if they have, as is evidently the case with this attention whore, wouldn't any reasonable person conclude that whatever fall out of that person's mouth, could very well be a lie?

But since I am part of the evil patriarchy, who am I to point out such mundane concepts as logic and credibility?

I was going to comment on motherjones.com, but I really didn't feel like wasting a well reasone argument on someone who wasn't going to listen.

Mother Jones questioning the sisterhood's view of things, now that's what i call progressive.

"Jones' lawyers filed a motion with the court declaring that the manuscript was a work of fiction."

I... uh... what?

It is the same as Strauss-Kahn. The fact that she lied dozens of times, including about the details of the case, does not prove that she has not been raped.

Just say you have been raped. Tell 100 details, 50 of which prove to be a lie. That does not mean you have not been raped. Of course, no other proof.

Did you read page #2? http://motherjones.com/politics/2011/07/kbr-could-win-jamie-leigh-jones-rape-trial?page=2

She is a den of lies!

It is typical that the justice system, lawyers, judges, companies, and innocent men lose years of their lives, work, and lots of money due to accusations by manipulative or psychotic women.

One lie and you are out. And get prosecuted for perjury. That should be the rule!

See also Strauss Kahn and hundreds of other rape and harassment cases.

What this really proves: women should not be in war zones. Imagine men in war zones having to worry about both

land mines, bullets, etc
and women ready for sexual harassment charges.

Alternatively, people in war zones constantly concerned about politically correct language? Very problematic ......

Women are childish, insane, and now they control the general opinion of Western Society.

We need to start burning witches again.

You killed your child woman? Instead of frying you on the chair we will burn you at the stake.
