This sort of absolutist dogma is similar to the dogma we see in totalitarian and fascist states. Feminists need to recognise the middle ground and not see everything in black and white. Surely there are some cases where rape is a good thing (like when a left wing guy does it, for example.)But feminists think ALL rape is bad - they are so blinded by their dogmatic ideology that they can't even see the nuances of these situations.<br /> <br />These feminists are no better than Stalin or Pol Pot. That is where this kind of dogmatic thinking leads.

If you read rape cases, and stat studies, where the victim is male, the case has a greater chance of getting to court and the victim will almost always succeed in getting a conviction. Where the victim is female the vast majority of rape cases are never brought to court because of 'lack of evidence' or the victim is considered 'not credible'. In the small amount of cases that go to court the conviction rate is sigificantly lower for female victims than male victims.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-281415506871751523.post-45642794761047730182011-07-04T09:13:30.634-07:002011-07-04T09:13:30.634-07:00Good men don't rape anyone ever for any reason...Good men don't rape anyone ever for any reason.<br />Beware the tyranny of good men.
