It can be in fact worse and that was clearly demonstrated.OkHow is being falsely accused of rape ever worse than being literally raped. Explain that.
Women who are victims of rape or even allegedly victims are typically treated with great compassion by others and that is how a decent person should treat them.
They typically receive empathy and support from family, friends, coworkers, their church if they have one, their community and neighbors.
Law enforcement and the courts do everything they can to help and to establish justice.
There are hundreds of shelters Nationwide for battered and abused women who will take them in. They have RAINN and other organizations offering free counseling and other assistance to them.
Usually their identity is kept out of the public.
No one with any decency opposes any of this and in fact supports such help for victims.
In addition it is true that every woman is different and some recover more fully than others. Some never do and may even commit suicide. Most eventually do recover to lead good lives even if carrying emotional mental and physical scars.
Men who are falsely accused are more likely to lose the support of friends, family, the community and neighbors. If they belong to a church they might well lose that support. They are more likely to lose their jobs and homes and families especially their kids. Forever if convicted.
Their name is very likely to be smeared and trashed forever even of acquitted. Unlike a victim their name is published before trial and many assume they are guilty. If acquitted it is often in the back of the paper somewhere. There are no specific shelters for them and few legal resources available unless they are wealthy or have a public defender.
With their reputation and name wrecked much of this damage can be permanent and irreparable.
If convicted they might be raped in prison suffering what their accuser lied about. If their attacker is HIV positive it is a death sentence.
No one especially me is trivializing what victims suffer. The point is that there is more than one kind of victim and saying one CAN suffer more than others is true. No one said it is always worse.
It needs to be remembered because many on the left seek to marginalize due process for rape or sexual assault. Such as Obama with his title IX witch hunt.
I know rape victims and always support and empathize with them
I also support and empathize with Daniel Holtclaw who has suffered much of what I described above.
Fair enough.
Although women who are raped are often victimized in the courts by the defense attorney. And if you listen to rape victims they complain about the stupid things people say to them. Granted the people are trying to be kind but the rape victim often feels like these people don't have a clue what they are going through.
I'm not saying being falsely accused isn't bad. The person who falsely accuses them should spend 10 years in jail. But, it's never worse being accused. Being literally raped is 1000 times worse. I'm not saying being falsely accused isn't really really bad but your mistake was trying to suggest that being falsely accused is EVER worse than being really raped. If you believe that then you've never been raped.
Once again no one said it is always worse.
I have never been raped. I have never been accused of it falsely or otherwise.
No one can say that one is as bad or worse.
It simply needs to be recognized that the consequences of both are just as horrific and there is no one always worse than the other.
Nope. Being raped is always worse than being falsely accused. I get it that being falsely accused can ruin a person's life but that doesn't mean it's EVER worse than being physically raped.
And if given the choice, you would choose being falsely accused every time. No way if you were given a choice you would choose rape.
I would love to send a rapist to your house in the middle of the night. They break in and give you the option. Either you are going to get raped or in the morning some women from your office is going to falsely accuse you of raping her. I guarantee you tell him you'll take option B every time.
ROFLMAO, they wouldn't have the opportunity to give me any options, they'd be dead. We use lethal force to protect ourselves down here.

You could be caught off guard while you are sleeping. And without a gun you're a pussy.
