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

[RoadRunner79]

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?

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.

It seems pretty straightforward to me:

The survey asked, "If it were proven that Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted a woman when they were both high school students 36 years ago, do you think that does or does not disqualify Kavanaugh from being a Supreme Court Justice?" 

Forty-eight percent of respondents overall thought it should disqualify him, while 28 percent said it should not, and 24 percent were not sure, according to the results from The Economist/YouGov. But among Republicans, a majority—55 percent—thought a proven allegation of sexual assault does not disqualify Kavanaugh from serving on the Supreme Court. About one-quarter, 27 percent, thought it does disqualify him, while 18 percent were not sure.

Do I really need to explain what is wrong about this? 

Yes... if you think that it means that society is condoning rape.....  One of Judge Kavenaugh's first acts as justice was to hire all female law clerks, because he believes in promoting women.   Now if it was shown with evidence, that he raped one of these women today; do you think that the poll would be the same.   I don't think that it would be.  Now for some, I think that the answer is largely a result of the current political climate and current situation (and that a certain answer is going to be wrongly used against them), for others, they are going to take in consideration that this was done by a kid 30 years ago who has had nothing but good reviews as respecting and honoring women since   (not condoning, but recognizing the situation), and there are some; who I think with current democratic behavior weighs it about which is worse.  Most of the commentators I have heard, don't agree with this poll.  And the one who did, I think fell into a combination of the last two categories I mentioned.  

But perhaps I'm a little biased, because people are wrongly reading into and twisting anything I say to suite their agenda and narrative; crying rape culture.
