What do you specifically take issue with, and why? Provide a real argument please, rather than just emotion and insults.You posted that women who want justice without physical evidence for a crime (one that quite often does not have physical evidence) are irrational, and then some other stuff about falsely accused men.
It's not my job to explain to you why that's a disgusting and repugnant statement.
There is nothing wrong with being emotional, so no need to tone-police me. I have earned the right to be emotional about this topic. (and that does not equate to irrational).
There's nothing wrong with wanting justice in a specific case where you or a witness or whatever know exactly what happened. I wasn't referring to that. I accept your apology in advance. I was referring to those who blame the justice system for most rapists getting off. What I literally posted was "when feminists complain about the justice system". Nothing about rape victims wanting justice. Now, aren't you glad that you asked and found out that your assumptions were wrong? It's unfair and it's a cruel, cruel world, but that's just the way things have to be because of the high standard it takes to show that a rape happened. Better that than putting a bunch of innocent people away, no? Especially when minorities are more likely to be impacted by needing a lesser standard of evidence to convict. And I didn't say all rape victims are irrational. Just that they can be. Any victim of any crime can be irrational. It's perfectly understandable for a family member of a murdered person to want the killer to face the death penalty, but we should look past their emotion and not allow their feelings to impact him being kept alive which is the humane thing to do. It's perfectly understandable to be emotional when something like that has happened to a person. That doesn't itself make someone irrational. Being irrational makes people irrational, like how Sungula apparently thinks suspected or accused rapists should be punished without evidence. I'm pretty sure he's in the extreme minority with his views though, so I'm not too worried about that.
