That was a general question, Smith - YOU applied it to the allegation of rape


Given that this thread is about an alleged rape ... DERRRRRRRRRRRR

As a general question it's even more ridiculous.


No idea then, smith?  Who'd 've thunk different....

I'll try it so that your simple mind might have a shot...

How does asking a question about why men are held responsible for the actions of women (but not vice versa) translate into her making him put his dick in her?  You're the one who mentioned him putting his dick in her - something that has zero physical substantiating evidence and is only your unsupported view - and tried to pervert my question into a statement of guilt by her.

Nobody remotely said that..

Stay off that sh1t, whatever it is... truly it ruins your mind.

What burden of proof in a rape allegation is imposed that is not the same as any other allegation?


You misunderstood me. I am saying that our justice system is inadequate in dealing with rape precisely *because* it demands the same burden of proof as any other allegation.

Yes, rape *IS* different, and I'm frankly amazed I have to spell it out for you. Rape has been a male-privilege weapon since time immemorial. It is the ultimate tool of domination and oppression, with the specific aim of degrading and humiliating its victims. Of course it is compounded by the fact that it is such a biologically instinctive act that terrifyingly comes all too naturally for many men.

But thats just the start of it. Even worse is the cultural complexities surrounding it that stacks the cards against victims even further. We still have this sick cultural legacy of assuming the worst of women in such cases: the old caricature of the manipulative, seductive femme fatal who basically tricks men to 'rape' them, and then cries victim the next morning. So this creates a whole narrative around mixed messaging of the women, questioning around their choice of clothing etc. It leads to such incidences as an Australian judge seriously suggesting that "no sometimes means yes". Long story short, the victim invariably becomes the real culprit, while the culprit ends up as the victim. We still haven't shaken this sick cultural legacy off. Even if we can on occasions stop ourselves from making a martyr of the rapist, we still persist in 'slut shaming' the victim. Why were you out that night? Why did you have to come in seductive clothing, and of course the favourite fall-back - why were you drinking? 

Long story short, for any woman who is brave enough to report their allegation, they are in for a torrent of abuse and humiliation - on top of the abuse and humiliation they have already suffered. And for what? Statistics show an appalingly low conviction rate - and thats just counting the cases that actually make it to court. If you count the cases that the police drop before bringing charges, we're probably talking less than 5% conviction rate:

eg:
https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2020/5/7/why-do-so-few-rapes-result-in-a-conv...

Here is the undeniable truth grap, that I want you to at least acknowledge:

if a man is thinking about raping a woman, he can feel safe in the knowledge that he will almost certainly get away with it. And furthermore, that statistically, the least traumatic course of action for the victim will be simply to shut up and live with it in silence. And that is a trully faarked up situation.

If you can at least bring yourself to admit that this is the reality in our culture, then you might actually agree that what I am saying is true - that our justice system is wholly inadequate in dealing with this issue, and that something (I don't have a solution as to what) - needs to change. And then maybe, just maybe, you'll get off your ridiculous 'femi-nazis rule the world and men are an oppressed species' fantasy saddle.

Sadly Gandalf - there can be NO distinction between the burden of proof required for the criminal allegation of rape and any other allegation.  The Law demands that all such allegations be treated the same.

How and why is rape different?  Different from what?  Murder?  Assault?  Robbery?

When you lapse into ideology = 'male privilege weapon' - you have lost the plot.  If it has occurred, it is a crime - and again - there can be no distinction between it and any other crime.  Your feathery ideals are all well and good, but not at the expense of the proper upholding of Law, and clearly you cannot see that even in using that term you have bought into the ideology of a war on men, and through men, on the standards we employ in the West.

What you are doing here is seeking to undermine the rule of Law in the West, and that is not a joke.  The exercise of law in the West is so perilous and so tentative in its application to principle already - and you may not reduce the flimsy protections that currently do exist - protections most often upheld in the abuse than in the keeping already.

You may NOT have separate laws for women or anyone else, I'm sorry to tell you.

Who here has 'seen the worst' in Brittany Higgins?  Certainly not me... I have always stated clearly that any bloke who needs to get a woman drunk to get a root is a dork, and in certain circumstances, given clear proof of intent - is guilty under certain laws of a form of rape.

At NO time have I criticised Higgins for anything but the failure to ensure the case by taking timely action and allowing clear evidence to be available.

Your presumptions about men in this society are, frankly, amazing, and nowhere near the truth.  Men have always been the first to wreak dire punishment on rapists - but there is, in this country, a technical requirement for proof beyond any reasonable doubt.

You are not permitted to act on your emotions; you are not permitted to create special laws for special groups; you are not permitted to make any judgement other than on the basis of the proven facts - not just statements - but facts supported by substantial corroborating evidence.

In this case, substantial corroborating evidence is in very short supply = zero, due to the actions of a number of people, including Brittany Higgins.

Your emotions are touching, your fervour admirable - but you must stick purely to proven and provable facts.

Grap, all I can say is, your lecturing against emotion and blind ideology is truly breathtaking, given your hysterical views about poor downtrodden men and their sinister feminist oppressors.

That said, I agree that due process must be maintained. Always have. I never said I have a solution for dealing adequately with what is, undeniably, the 'special case' of rape in our justice system. Undermining our rule of law is the last thing I want to do. I merely call on society to 'think outside the box' and find ways in which rape cases can simultaneously maintain our rule of law and due process - while also achieving better justice for real victims.

Gandalf - with all due respect - all those things you comment on are part and parcel of feminist rhetoric, propaganda, hyperbole and there is next to no solid evidence to support them.

You need only look at the surveys in universities, in which the figures were blandly inflated by adding into 'rape' figures' things that were nowhere near the  concept of rape.

You are so deeply in thrall to your feminist block kapos and perimeter guards - so very common these days in our houses of learning - that you cannot see the realities... frankly it is your Stockholm syndrome that is breathtaking.

I reject feminism for all the proper reasons - by its very name it is discriminatory; it is based on massive lies and distortions repeated over and over; it is nothing more than a path to power for people who do not wish to do all the hard yards, but consider they have Entitlement™ to fast tracking on account of past ills - which again are vastly exaggerated.

98% of people did not enter professions - it wasn't just women .... why is there any 'need' to push women primarily into the Brave New World nonsense of half-baked professionals on all sides and in every thing - thus according credibility to often rabid views - when clearly these New Professionals are so wrong on many counts?

Opportunities should be parceled out equally - unless our society begins to do so, it will self-destruct.

Sorry - no matter how much you huff and puff - you will NOT alter the flimsy defences of Law that currently exist, so as to make people guilty upon accusation.  The ratbags got away with that with their end run around law , via their 'domestic violence' "laws" - not only must they be prevented from going one step further - they must be driven back....

Ne Passerons!!

.. and who, then determines who are the REAL victims?  by what process?  By virtue of merely being a complainant?

Do you really imagine in your worst nightmares you should throw that door wide?

You quite simply, by definition, cannot maintain our rule of law while advocating that it be reduced so as to cater to one group... that is Apartheid... a strong suite of your 'feminists', and a few others doing the rounds... and something you and your kind claim to abhor....   Roll Eyes  Roll Eyes  Roll Eyes

Let me add this:-  Even if this single incident is rape - and the evidence that it was so is very thin, not least due to the reality that no single person, even the complainant, made any attempt to preserve evidence - it is one giant leap to cast this as some weapon used against women in some mythical war on women.

That, my son, is pure insanity and could only dribble from the mouth of a rabid feminist supremacist bent on destruction of all or victory, same as Adolph Hitler at the end.

IF it was rape - then it was the stupidity of one stupid bloke, and is in no way reflective of your War, that clearly you and the feminists see themselves as engaged in against Men.  Amazingly you criticise me for speaking out against this War Of Aggression, yet it is not I who have ever struck a blow... you consider open discussion an act of war.... Jesus, son.... get help!!

That is where you are way off the rails, my son - you are attempting to cast a very minor incident as some act in an over-arching (feminist) drama of a War Between Women And Men - a War of which most Men are oblivious.... until it strikes them.

This Feminist War Of Aggression IS the problem ... hence my series on WW IV - Fem War II... Fem War I is upon us as we speak... and you are a useful fool following blindly the propaganda and false conclusions of your feminist overseers.

Clearly you are young and inexperienced and have been persuaded by the propaganda..... stand back and think for yourself, lad - before it is too late.

Gandalf and the like have already found the guy guilty.  At least they aren't on the jury.... and never would be...

Gandalf Law:-

Old Mad Harry down the road complains that Gandalf stole his car.

Court finds Gandalf guilty despite a total lack of hard evidence..... and Harry's car is still in its garage.... Harry honestly recollects waking up drunk and seeing Gandalf steal the car.... then flakes out for hours...

That is what you are advocating, Gandalf et al.... Guilt By Accusation ......... Grow A Life and a brain to go with it!!

You are unhinged.

This incoherent rant, most of which involves topics completely unrelated to what I was talking about (quotas - really??) - just proves how incapable you are of discussing this rationally. I dare raise the very simple and undeniable fact that rape victims rarely get justice, and you twist it into a nazi-feminist plot to take over the world.

I actually thought that by presenting you the statistics showing a mere 5% conviction rate you would at least acknowledge that was unfair for the victims, and there was some inadequacy in our justice system. Silly me. I suspect now that you might actually believe that 95% of those women just made it up because they are sinister and part of the nazi-feminist plot to take over the world.

There you go again - your entire argument is based on rhetoric and propaganda and ideology - and you call me unhinged?  In my view it is you and your feminist masters who are unhinged.

Your stated position on mangling the rule of law to suit your ideology shows that feminism is indeed the clear and present danger for the west, and ultimately for all citizens in it.

Going after me on a personal basis for being a true egaliatarian and humanitarian will do you no good.... when one man in the entire world is right - that man constitutes a majority of one.

P.S.  You are clearly talking to someone else - I never mentioned 'quotas' - nor am I the one or the party or the group who are pushing for them against the rules of law requiring equal treatment across the board.

Pushing one group to the exclusions of others is not 'quotas' - quotas are a formal notice of numbers.  Clearly you are showing how our modern education system has no idea what it is talking about beyond blind rhetoric.  BTW - you would prefer your nation and government to be run by 'at least 50%' of one specified group (the other group is nowhere guaranteed 50% - got that?  Quotas for women should be of 50% feminists of any sex, and 50% anti-feminists - not men and women) - the Hutu and the Tutsi?  The Reichsvolk and the Juden?

See?  You are off in fairyland and sound remarkably like certain others here who espouse the same religion as you.

Clearly it is not I am who am 'unhinged' - it is everyone who pursues your chosen ideology.

Now - to return the the issue raised here - how do YOU know that this man raped Brittany Higgins?

Were you there?  The 'fly on the wall' as I said to mothra?  How do you KNOW anything?

Clearly you have already judged that he is guilty on the very slimmest of evidence, which is - frankly - both bizarre and unhinged and a vile contravention of the rule of law that you somehow, in you woolly fashion, say we can tweak just a little to suit little girlies without causing enormous harm.  Clearly you are totally unsuited to jury duty and would be dismissed and should never hold any position of power in our society.

No, son - you will NOT transpose your Star Chambers in the 'universities' into the legal system - rather the Law should intervene in those Star Chambers and set right the wrongs being done.  Sexual assault is admiring a fine piece.... Jesus Christ..... look at the real harm being done with this nonsense ....

All your kind are doing, is bringing the inevitable civil war closer and closer.... and as I pointed out to cods - this vile and violent assault on the rights of men is the root cause of escalating retaliation, alienation, and hostility in the community.

Grap, it is difficult to make sense of your rantings. But it seemed fairly clear to me you were referring to quotas when you said "Opportunities should be parceled out equally - unless our society begins to do so, it will self-destruct." - in the context of "entering professions". But its true, its difficult to make sense of your rants. Whatever you were trying to say, it was well off track from the relevant discussion on rape and achieving justice.

Also, stop making up crap. I specifically said I don't want to undermine the rule of law, so don't talk rubbish like "mangling the rule of law" being my "stated position".

Also don't play the "personal attack" card. Me saying your rantings are unhinged and that you are completely spellbound by a ridiculous femi-nazi conspiracy to oppress men - should be perfectly fine if its ok for you to repeatedly dismiss me as blinded by propaganda and under the spell of my "feminist masters".

Finally, don't ask stupid questions like "how do YOU know that this man raped Brittany Higgins?" - when I never said anything of the sort.
