The fact that girls believe the system is against them when it comes to rape…still in 2012, they think the system is against them.

Except it is though…

If it was rape then they can’t blame the system because they didn’t try it. Most rape victims are afraid to press charges, because they believe that they won’t win. Most statistics like to also include the fact that most rape or sexual assault victims choose not to report it, this skews the statistic greatly making it seem as if the system doesn’t work. They also seem to leave out the number of false accusations that lead to innocent people getting locked up and branded like cattle for no reason. The system has changed in the last 20 years and it has become more of her word against his. Not encouraging rape or supporting it, but rape victims really need to try. It will work.

Oh…my god. What? I don’t even know where to start with this. Where are you even getting these opinions and statistics?! This is such a perfect example of a male biased perspective (which in this case is based on opinion and backed up by nothing.)

Ok, lets think about why a female might not report a rape. Yes, she could (reasonably) be afraid she wouldn’t win in court, but more likely than not, she’s afraid of the shit ton of stigma that would consume her life if she did. Because she must have wanted it. And if she didn’t want it, her skirt was too short and her shirt was too low. She was a tease. What was the naive and blameless guy supposed to do when she was coming on to him, even if she was so drunk she was practically comatose…

And I’m not even going to touch on your lamenting for the poor and innocent males who are accused of rape because this expands on it better than I could:

And beyond that…you’re just WRONG. The system has not changed. Ok, let me just post these statistics and be on my way.

I am embarrassed this even came across my dash.

When I was in preschool there was this really weird system of time-out where they’d put you in this giant plastic bucket sort of like this one:

And the rule was you couldn’t leave the bucket for ten minutes.

In case you didn’t know, I was what the teachers referred to as a…
