Melania Trump says Sexual Assault victims shouldn't report unless they have evidence

[RoadRunner79]

I don’t know... didn’t get the details on how she knew them.  The republican lawyer didn’t seem to ask any tough questions. But if she didn’t know them (as her friend who was suppose to be there didn’t) I think that these types of studies would apply.

Indeed; the same such studies apply to "bereavement visions", seeing dead people, alien abductees, etc. (and, might I add, religious experiences, also.)  Of course, the Kavanaugh hearings fell under federal administrative congressional law and procedures, and so, you need to stop applying state or federal criminal law standards and levels of evidence here.

I don’t think that the Gospel accounts really for the pattern for bereavement visions. Or are you saying that you think Ford just hallucinated this. Why would you think that?

No, I don’t think that society permits or condones rape. Or makes it easier to be raped, other than perhaps current attitudes towards casual sex is perhaps aiding it.

RR, we just had over half of the GOP state that they believe Brett Kavanaugh should still get to be SCJ even if he DID commit sexual assault.  That’s a problem that is staring you directly in the face. That is how a society implicitly condones rape.  Are you going to choose to see it, or cover your eyes?

If I remember correctly, I wasn’t crazy about the wording of that poll. What do you think they where saying in this? I ask, because it seems that many seem to twist anything I or others here have said on the topic to get to there narrrative of a culture of rape.

I don’t think that they where saying sexual assault is ok; or to be condoned. I think that in order to have a discussion, you need to listen, quit assuming the worst in everyone, and talk to them. Rather than so much identity politics and rhetoric ; which is what I’m seeing a lot of. It seems that people are not accurately portraying others, I was even accused of lying in this thread, just for stating my opinion.
