The Liberal Rape Myth

[PoliticalChic]

The UCR documented 88,100 reported rapes in 2009. The NCVS, which is more accurate because many rapes go unreported, documented approximately 126,000 rapes in 2009. These numbers are still low, most likely.

"Junk statistics from advocacy groups are slung around and become common knowledge, such as the incredible factoid that one in four university students has been raped. (The claim was based on a commodious definition of rape that the alleged victims themselves never accepted; it included, for example, any incident in which a woman consented to sex after having had too much to drink and regretted it afterward.)"
Pinker, Steven, "The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined," p. 401.

Politicalchic, I disagree but am interested in having a discussion about this. You say that "rape crisis" is a myth; is there a specific number that rapes would have to get to for it to be considered a crisis? And if it reached that point, what would be the adequate response?

With all respect to your earnestness, you will not get a discussion out of PC.

What if it's only 1 in 10, or 1 in 100?

Is that because she is parrotting empty political rhetoric without actually having critically thought through the issue and the real world implications of the problem she is trying to turn into a partisan political discussion?

Correct.

All you'll get from the OP are lies.

Hey, offal....what do you call the thread to which you've unsuccessfully attempted to respond?

Your lies become more and more transparent.....consider b12 shots.

Well, there's that, and then there's her problem that she's incapable of the kind of personal insight that enables one to debate an issue on the facts. Note how often she is quoting someone else, relative to how often she is stating her own views.

See what I mean, tos'? This is where she inevitably ends up when confronted with responses/rebuttals/refutations that she is incapable of coping with.

Tell us how exactly we should deal with rape in America.

Your modus operandi remains the same:
a. Lie
b. Attempt to change the subject.

As you have done in the last two posts.

You've really become quite the bore.

Correct.

Yet you never seem able to find one.

Aggravated rape should be a capital crime.

No distinctions should be made for "date rape", "acquaintance rape", or any other euphemism.

Sex involving consenting minors should be handled in Family Court, and parents of said minors fined and monitored for parental fitness.

Then what is the OP off on, calling rape a myth?

And another moron comes out of the woodwork.

The thread is chock full of facts and linked data, dope.

Would I be correct in guessing that you voted for the windbag in the White House?

Come on, twelve pages in, who remembers the OP?

You asked what should be done about rape.

I replied, with how I thought the rape problem should be attacked.

We have DNA now.

So much easier to prove, and a rapist deserves no mercy whatsovever.

Fry a few frat boys, Romeos and "playas", and the thrill of rape would be gone.

Wow!

I really must have wounded you by revealing your two types of post, huh?

Great!

Data that proves what? That rape is a myth? That rape never happens but is instead a liberal invention?
