I need feminism because this should not be hanging all around my university campus
literally the most repulsive poster i have ever witnessed.
How is this “repulsive?” I legit want to know the thought process with this. False accusations of rape need to be stopped.
You do know that the rate of false rape reports is so small, a man has a higher chance of being raped by another man than falsely accused of rape.
*ahem*
The widely accepted statistic for false rape accusations is between 2-8% even though 14 out of 20 studies have placed them at a much higher rate. But even if we accept the 2-8% statistic, the numbers are not low as the statistic would suggest. For example, in 2009 there were 88,097 rapes reportedaccording to the Department of Justice. If we take 5%, the median of 2-8% that people widely accept as the true statistic of false accusations, that would mean out of 88,097 reported rapes that 4,404 men were falsely accused of rape. That’s four thousand four hundred and four men falsely accused of rape just in 2009 alone.
Just let that sink in for a minute.
That is in no way a small number and quite frankly a very disturbing realization. Now apply the same calculation to every figure since 1990:
Now consider the fact that 14 out of 20 studies on the prevalence of false rape accusations place them at a much higher rate, as seen here:
This flier that was posted around campus perpetuates the idea that rape accusations are all false, that a victim was asking for it, and this feeds into the “blame the victim behavior”. Somehow the victim was at fault, somehow her worth is lesser than the perpetrator, and the system works to protect rapists.
No it doesn’t.
The only thing it says, is that just because you regret your choice to have sex with someone, doesn’t mean it was rape.
If the rape accusation is truly false, it will be sorted out in the court of law. The accused rapist usually has more rights and protections than the victim who is accusing him of rape.(LOOK UP RAPE CULTURE)
Bull shit.
Rape shield laws prevent anyone from even releasing the victim’s name, while the name of the accused can get plastered all over the news. In many cases, the accused doesn’t even get to exercise their right to face their accuser.
But rape SERIOUS, and victims should NEVER be taken lightly. This post only further feeds into the idea that victims of rape must never go to the law for help, or else face a huge backlash of blame and shame. This feeds the belief that if a woman accuses someone of rape, she MUST be lying (LOOK UP VICTIM BLAMING BEHAVIOR)
No, it’s saying that people shouldn’t accuse someone of rape if they weren’t actually raped.
97% of all accused rapists never see time in a jail cell because of this victim blaming behavior
The time a rapist served may be less than the sentence imposed by the courts but nonetheless it is still contrary to the idea that 97% of all rapists do not serve one day in jail, as seen here:
And while it can be argued that punishments for rape are not harsh enough, there are virtually no punishments for false accusers who ruin lives and as previously mentioned above are responsible for innocent men being sexually assaulted on a constant basis in prison. For vindictive women there is only reward. Therefore, what is the deterrent if false accusers are rarely punished?
Accoding to Rainn.org, a rape statistics site, says that 9 our of 10 victims are female.
1 out of 6 women will be raped or sexually assaulted in her lifetime.
And the 1 in 6 statistic is from a study done in 1998. The most recent version of that study gave us the “1 in 5” statistic, which is completely false.
A man literally has a better chance of being bitten by a shark than falsely accused of rape….BUT so many are convinced there is a crusade of women trying to falsely accuse men of rape.
No, people simply realize that there are a lot of innocent men who are going to jail for false rape accusations, and that nobody is doing anything about it.
And society again tries to ignore the issues of women. Yeah, let’s just create a system that protects rapists, while completely vilifying victims of rape, and let’s not treat rape like it is no biggie.
>protects rapists
HA!
Please. For fucks sake, even murderers view rapists as sub-human pieces of shit in our society.
Oh I love this. Typically feminists call this “hateful” when it’s just pointing out an unpleasant fact that occurs. One death, one wrongful imprisonment, due to false accusations, is too many. And there have been plenty of both. And no one has done anything about this. It’s largely ignored. Why? Because the average feminist feels that it doesn’t matter. And an increasingly large number of them feel that men cannot be considered innocent *ever*, and as such “deserve” it.
