TGMP article says COTWA and AVfM support rape culture, adds "at the author’s request, we will not be publishing comments which caveat the discussion of rape culture with false rape accusation concerns

My comment:

We do live in a rape culture. We live in a society where this terrible crime is LEGALLY only a crime when the perpetrator is male. Female perpetrators, who are 50% of all perpetrators, are not accountable. Are you ready to SEE rape culture?

FACT: Women are as likely to rape men, as men are to rape women.

PROOF: http://i.imgur.com/Ps9wW.jpg

SOURCE: http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/nisvs/

EXPLANATION: The definition of rape requires that the victim's body must be penetrated by the perpetrator. Consequently, female perpetrators are ignored, and male victims are silenced.

WHOSE FAULT IS IT: Feminism is the cause of this horror. Why? Because the legal definition which excludes female perpetrators was crafted by feminists.

Rape culture is purposely ignoring the fact that high school star football players are treated as a privileged class just to fulfill your confirmation bias.

Rape culture is taking one incident, liberally interpreting it through your ideological lens, and then generalizing it as a culture.

Rape culture is in essence feminist ideology, and exposes The Good Mangina Project for what it really is - a radical feminist propaganda site.

Screen shot please. TGMP is losing readership and trying to provoke controversy to boost their site stats.

Lauren, by rape culture do you mean that any woman can accuse any man of rape, his name and picture will appear in newspapers (and television if he's famous enough or the media thinks the case is entertaining to watch) and his reputation will be forever tarnished whether he is guilty or not..or Maybe it's the subjugation and control of other inmates in a prison system by use of forced sexual activity...or the denial that women are capable of rape, and placing the blame on ALL men, not rapists, for every crime of rape?

Did I just see a feminist claiming that an ad for pizza contributes to rape?

Wow.

Nomenimion · 2013-03-21T15:28:09+00:00

GMP is just two feminists trying to take the honey with flies approach to spoonfeeding feminism to men who are starting to fed up with the misandry and discrimination.

Their fucking mission statement is: "Let's make good men for women."

I grow weary of the feminist blogging community that trivializes the victimization of the wrongly accused by insisting there aren't enough of them to worry about. This is hateful beyond words, and grossly anti-intellectual.

I have never encountered such a garbled, dishonest take on false rape claims. Compare her singularly peculiar take on reality with the work of a sociologist who is highly respected by the feminist community. Dr. David Lisak's landmark research for his 2010 Violence Against Women study found that 14.2% of all claims that could be classified one way or the other -- either as false claims, or that were referred for prosecution or disciplinary action -- were, in fact, false claims. Please understand that this figure represents only the claims we know are false. The majority of all rape claims can't be classified as either rape or non-rape, much less false claims -- so the exact percentage of false claims is unknowable, but we know the actual percentage of false claims is no less than 14.2% and almost certainly higher, and possibly much higher (among other things, it is reasonably certain that a portion of the claims referred for prosecution or disciplinary action are false, based on what we've learned from the Innocence Project and the National Registry of Exonerations).

Does she know how many wrongly accused that works out to? Yet she cavalierly dismisses them because, presumably, they don't fit her preferred narrative.

A leading feminist legal scholar has acknowledged this irrefutable fact: ". . . the statistics on false rape accusation widely vary and 'as a scientific matter, the frequency of false rape complaints to police or other legal authorities remains unknown.'" A. Gruber, Rape, Feminism, and the War on Crime, 84 Wash. L. Rev. 581, 595-600 (November 2009) (citation omitted). Another legal scholar has explained that the politicization of rape renders it impossible to discern the extent of underreporting. See, J. Fennel, Punishment by Another Name: The Inherent Overreaching in Sexually Dangerous Person Commitments, 35 N.E.J. on Crim. & Civ. Con. 37, 49-51 (2009).

I also have grown completely impatient with feminist bloggers who happily demonize masculinity by reducing men and boys to caricature. This is hate-mongering gussied up as some sort of serious look at rape. It is silliness, encrusted with a patina of misandry.

This woman, and many like her, truly have no place in the public discourse on this important issue.

Ok, GMP is just a steaming pile of crap. Not only is the content so completely brain dead but I find the pages themselves take so long to load since their so overloaded with multiple adds. The whole site is pedantic and shallow full of newagy populous advice which few would ever find real value in.

Bobsutan · 2013-03-21T14:26:37+00:00

My comment (still awaiting moderation):

The whole notion of “men can stop rape” is sexist the way “minorities can stop theft” is racist. The fact of the matter, which dishonest gender ideologues don’t want you to know, is that men are the primary victims of violent crime, INCLUDING rape. That’s right, at least as many men are raped in the US as women are, so if you think that there’s a rape culture against women, just imagine what it’s like for men, especially in prison.

PierceHarlan · 2013-03-21T17:06:19+00:00

Yep, we support rape culture: http://falserapesociety.blogspot.com/2010/12/there-is-no-rape-culture-period.html

This is all fucking ridiculous. The shit mentioned has seen a HUGE backlash and is more akin to hero worship than rape culture. They didnt get in trouble to begin with because they were star athletes. Thats like saying OJ getting off is evidence of a Murder Culture. Status is what saved them initially, not culture that ignores rape victims.

As for the politicians and laws she brings forth...theyre all fringe candidates/controversial bills and almost exclusively from a fundamentalist Christian doctrine that widely gets rejected. If we did this with ultra-militant feminist, they would be crying foul.

Nomenimion · 2013-03-21T18:22:43+00:00

Any situation in which anybody is in any way skeptical that a rape has occurred is an example of "rape culture," apparently.

These people will never be satisfied until the accused is shot exactly one second following an accusation of rape, whether true or false.

2013-03-21T12:57:04+00:00

So the good boy project is promoting false accusation culture.

blueoak9 · 2013-03-21T15:00:33+00:00

TGMP accsuing anyone of supporting rape culture is a laugh, after their stut last year that got Feministe andothers to start a boycott campaign on them. This has to be a ploy to regain some feminists cred. A pretty transparent one too.

It's funny how all the feminists appropriating rape victims as talking points all wanat to howl down any mention of false accsuations, while the actual rape victims want the issue front and center and false accusers hung up to twist in the wind. Actually it's not very funny to the actual victims.

Looks like someone is upset about getting beat in the Alexa ratings.

Clauderoughly · 2013-03-21T17:44:30+00:00

Ahh the Good Men project has gone crawling back to it's feminist mistresses.

That didn't take long.

2013-03-21T22:39:05+00:00

Remember: common sense ends where their feelings begin.

From the bottom of the piece: About Lauren Nelson - Lauren Nelson blogs at Rant Against The Random, a collection of the impulsive rants. "It's going to be random, opinionated, and, at times, utter nonsense. Be prepared."

Well, she got the "utter nonsense" part right.
