Op-Ed: Frightened little women - false rape news, and a retrospective

Submitted by anthony on Wed, 2011-10-19 22:39

Article here. Excerpt:

'The crime of rape is often used as a battering ram by the loony feminists against men, but when the allegations made are demonstrably false, the same people are strangely silent. Here is the other side of the coin.

Here is a gem from Rape Trauma Services: “Only 16% of rapes are ever reported to the police.”

This begs the question how do they know? Well, because “In a survey of victims who did not report rape or attempted rape to the police, the following was found as to why no report was made: 43% thought nothing could be done, 27% felt it was a private matter, 12% were afraid of police response, and 12% felt it was not important enough.”

This presupposes that all these “victims” were actually victims and not fantasists or simply lying little tarts. Can 12% of “victims” really be afraid of the police response? Can another 12% really believe a rape is not important enough to report?'

" Well, because..."

No, the numbers bellow aren't meant to justify the 16% figure. Those numbers are just describing why rape victims, supposedly 16%, don't report the rape.

The site did not show any backup for that 16% figure. Same with most the other figures.

Also how the fuck did they only get 9% of rape victims are male?!? Even aside from bad surveys that consistently under report male victims did they ignore prison rape?!? If they did wouldn't that be rape culture...

And lol at the figure of 99% of rape being done by men.

It's just amazing that the website talks about the under reporting of rape but makes no mention that this may be why male victims are under represented. That site cares more about hateful ideology than just helping any and all victims.

Here some data on female sexual abuse, showing just how stupid a 1% figure for female perpetrated rape is.
