Exactly! And that, my dear, is the definition of BIAS! Pure and simple!
Why does "innocent until proven guilty" not apply to male rape suspects?

Says the guy with no proof of his claims. I can back it up with the fucked up things you've said.

Or instead, try taking a side....like the side of righteousness against the pro-rapist? maybe?

Or the side of blind bias against inconvenient reality, perhaps?

There is no high-ground when the issue is rapists and those who make false allegations of rape. Not one square inch. Both are destroying lives, both are engaging in crime.

@Sophia, assuming that all allegations of rape are legitimate accusations is no less absurd than assuming that they are all false allegations. You do not have to default to guilty to take a case seriously, and if you do so, you are not operating within the spirit or letter of the law. This does not help anyone, not even the victims, as it creates a system of justice whose ability to effectively mete out justice is severely compromised.

@Rocket, the report you sourced that statistic from appears to have had some serious flaws in either it's sampling size, or interpretation.

@Hitch, Rocket does not appear to be pro-rapist, and regardless of your quibble over statistics he is expressing a legitimate concern (even if his numbers are off) over something that does happen entirely too much, even by the most conservative or timid metrics. (I'm including rape, and false accusations of rape in this statement, as they both fall under the header "happens entirely too much")

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Thanks for that altogether more balanced and carefully considered viewpoint on this subject.
