    I like you, you can come to my house parties.

    I’m not denying, nor am I trying to deny that the scales are not balanced in terms of perpetrators and victims of rape.

    Nor do I mean to say, nor imply, that there are not groups of rapists, and people who are okay with them, or support them.

    I also equally recognise that the number of people in those groups is relatively small in comparison to the overall population.

    That doesn’t and shouldn’t imply that I don’t think something should be done.

    The problem is anyone who is complacent with the act, who perpetrates the act, anyone who covers up the act, and any judge, jury, or court, that would deny someone justice in the face of evidence of the act, even if that evidence is simply the victims side of the story.

    I also think anyone using an accusation of rape to smear someone or get them in trouble, when no crime has been committed, should be severely punished for creating a false report.

    In my opinion, everyone should be doing everything to find, report, and/or otherwise stop rapists at all times, in every circumstance. It should be the duty of every individual in society to put these people in jail, or stop them by whatever means are necessary. To me, the only ones that are not committed to this, are rapists, sympathisers, or enablers, all of which should be given the same punishment.

    It’s not up to me to say what that punishment should be. That’s up to society. I am not a rapist, nor am I a victim, so I have no basis to judge what a fair punishment should be, nor do I have any stake in making that punishment any less severe than what the victims need that would best help with their recovery from such a trauma.

      You just had to elevate false reports to the same level as actual rape, didn’t you?
