[Serious] PSA: Rape Apologetics

[Deesse23]

OK, since rape apology is so "clearly" defined, are y'all going to start banning people for false accusations concerning rape apology?

A couple of you are really hung up on the concept that people just falsely accuse others of rape on the regular.

I once was falsely accused of rape. When i went to a lawer he told me: "I am doing this for over 20y now, and so far i think two of my clients were innocent. You are the second".

What are your excuses for the other 58 women?

At this point, I don't think anyone is confused as to the intent of the announcement made.

Nobody is confused about the intent—but questions remain concerning the poor execution.

Drich was banned before the PSA went up. IA was banned while discussing the rules in this very thread. I was previously banned for my comments on violence. And Belacqua was previously accused of being a rape apologist for mentioning that statutory rape is statutory in nature.

It's unclear how my comments (which stem from feminist legal scholars) unequivocally promote sexual assault, downplay sexual assault, or victim-blame. Clearly, the "not limited to" clause is insidious in nature.

Just like when people die and suddenly they were saints while alive, Drich has been elevated to this status by those of you grasping at straws.

What status are you saying Drich has been elevated to here?

Statute of limitations.

I figured it wouldn’t help, but it was worth a try. I think you’re just going to be stuck with the second option Huggy. Incapable of understanding, but still capable of working on your delivery.

There’s always more than one way to say a horrid thing, and the vast majority of them will be within any given set of forum rules.

Statute of limitations.

So you don’t actually care if he raped someone. As long as he can’t be held accountable by the legal system you’re good with it?

There's nothing wrong with defending the statute of limitations. In one of my classes on human memory we studied a phenomenon that occurred sometime mid-1900s in which people were being accused of rape because of false childhood memories suggested under hypnosis, and later by the media

Such limitations protect all parties involved. There's no reason why someone who brings this up should be in danger of excommunication from the forum.

Bold mine - calm yourself. No one said anything about banning Huggy for his comment. LadyforCamus asked a question.
