Panel 7: “Why are they mad at me?”


This is not rape apology, what the fuck. I support actual victims of rape as I myself have suffered a lot because of being raped, I just don’t support those who abuse of the helps that actual victims need because I’ve been victim of false allegations too. It’s not that hard to understand.
And no, assuming that every woman who claims to be raped is telling the truth is not critical thinking, it’s just excessive credulity.
And I have sufficient reasons to think that case of false accusation are not that rare, but even if they were (that they’re not), that doesn’t make them a less serious problem.
Most of studies present men and women different questionaires, or make focus on different things in one gender or another, they’re gender segregated: i.e., in self-report questionaires, men almost everytime receive abuser questionaires and women receive victim questionaires, while the correct thing to do is to make neutral questionaires or give both genders both types of questionaires. If you ask me, that’s a very clear poisoning of the well, they’re adjusting the answers before they can be done, alterkng what answers are available.
Also, men are more found to underreport sexual abuse, and there is a huge underreporting of false claims because even polices and lawyers tell victims of these (male victims of sexual abuse, and in general victims of false claims) to be a loss of time to try to report them. I know why they say so, because I lived that. Two fucking times.
False reports are ridiculously and incredibly rare, even in the most generous study to rape apologetics, the vast majority of rape are perpetrated my men against women, Again I’m just thinking critically like you said to.
The overwhelming victims of rape are women, the overwhelming number of reports are true, to the point where you do less damage assuming they are. That’s not to say you ignore a man’s claims of rape at all, you take those seriously to, men are also reluctant to report rape for many of the same reasons women are. I’m old enough to have been around when they had to pass a special law to bypass the statue of limitations so men could report their rape by catholic clergy.
Equivocating reports of rape to false reports is just wrong. I’m sorry for what happened to you, but I’m not going to allow what seems like a horrible situation you’ve been through to color my perception of what you are doing. Which is rape apologetics. You aren’t asking us to critically think, you are asking us to respond emotionally to your emotional plea.
