I don't think I follow you. This is real: our chem prof was a perv. Everyone knew it. We went to talk to him in his office in packs to be safe. So if I say that now, not naming him, why is that bad? I'm just adding to the voices that are trying to make society understand what we deal with ALL THE TIME, EVERYWHERE.
#MeToo
Wait, what???
What exactly did he do? I'm confused as hell here.
2014 study, one of the largest of its kind, analyzed LAPD police data and estimated that “the rate of false [rape] reports among cases reported to the LAPD [in 2008] was 4.5 percent.” A 2017 study utilized FBI data over the five-year period from 2006 to 2010 to conclude that “approximately 5% of the allegations of rape were deemed false or baseless” during that time period. A 2016 meta-analysis of seven studies addressing the same question estimated that 5.2% of rape allegations were false.
"Other studies have figures in the same range. The FBI has put the number of "unfounded" rapes - those determined to be false after investigation - at 8%."
Its higher- much higher. When you include sexual assault, its even higher. And false domestic violence accusations are completely out of control to the point of being the overwhelming majority.
It's a tragedy, Trump is as divisive as ever. First he divides us politically, then he divides us racially, now he's dividing us by gender.
I'm totally disgusted with the men on this board who are trying to justify why it's OK to suppress and ignore women who have been sexually assaulted while giving men a pass! Why would women come out in such a toxic environment?
THESE men are the reasons why so many women have not come forward about their own experiences with sexual assault.
No means NO! It doesn't mean 'It's ok because nobody will believe her anyway!'
Trump has zero influence on this matter. He is just as armchair as you and I. He doesn't make laws. He is not the police or a judge so how does he divide us?
What has he done to cause men or women grief?
You might wanna get a reality check instead of playing for a fool by the media.

Black women have a much higher risk of being sexually assaulted yet all of the focus is on white women in the media. It has less to do with sexual assaults as a problem, more about battle of the sexes for power.

My (admittedly very basic) understanding of this is that it stems in part from the black community. Their men are already going to prison at a higher rate. They don't speak up as often.

Thank you. My fb feed is making me mad. All the political people who would support any Trump pick are on this bandwagon against all women now and it makes me sick.
I'm beginning to have more loathing for people who worship Trump than I do Trump himself. They are like crazed. IDK what is going on.
I couldn't agree more !!! You don't.
Equality for women is one thing.
Special treatment for women is another. One doesn't look like the other.
Trump supporter who wants conservative judge on SCOTUS where the same laws apply to everyone.
Judges that recognize due process and presumption of innocents currently in the constitution not some judge that amend the constitution on a whim of emotion.
