P.S I like the way you manage to ignore, Like George Will, staggering amounts of evidence that contradict everything you have posted. That must take some serious concentration and effort on your part, I tip my hat to you.

@Tim I find some men, really, really, really need to debate the stats I use in my articles on rape. Because then they do not have to face the reality rape is really horrific, and that there is intersection between rigid stereotypes of masculinity and epic volumes of violence against women. Facing those facts, would be uncomfortable and challenging.

So you think rape is not used as a tool of oppression? That all rape stats are manipulated by feminists? And by the tone of your post you believe rape is not a serious global issue? Alright. Thank god I have men, like you, to explain my failings to understand the conspiracy of rape culture.

Were to begin. Kiwi-Guy

“the US Justice Departments annual crime survey – the gold standard in crime research.” Were did you pull that little gem of propaganda from. Wow, do you really believe that? and if so can you give me the name of your drug supplier – because that level of deluded would take some hard core crack guy.

“Like the satanic ritual child abuse and “recovered memory” hysteria orchestrated by the feminists in the 1980s – eg Peter Ellis, this is yet another witch hunt in the form of “rape culture” hysteria.” How the hell do you make this connection? Seriously dude, a case of child abuse – abuse being the guiding word here. On the second half of your assertion I kinda agree, the atrocious interview techniques used by the police produced very bad ongoing outcomes – not only for Mr Ellis, but the children involved. Funny you still got little to no sympathy for them as human beings. But bugger me, a man being victimised and your up in arms.

And finally your saying all this stuff and you got no proof. It’s just a bunch of baseless assertions. Here’s one, you think your mom does not like you, so you hate women. And because you hate women, seeing anyone trying stopping violence against them you will spin any old lie to keep the violence and oppression going.

Baseless on my part I know, as I know nothing about you – who you are or what you do. But anyone can make up crap any day of the week – it’s called propaganda in polite circles.

Rape is an issue like other crimes and vices. If it is the issue you Feminists claim it is, why the manipulation of the stats? To get media attention and political mileage with “Rape is everywhere!” propaganda.

Your UN figures suffer the same manipulation as what I cited above.

After all Feminists don’t see rape as an ordinary crime. They use recondite Marxist ideology to argue rape is a tool of oppression used by the male gender ‘class’ to ‘oppress’ the female gender ‘class’. I believe it was the book ‘Against Our Will’ published 1975 by the lesbian radical feminist Susan Brownmiller that got the ball rolling. Her central idea is “[rape] is nothing more or less than a conscious process of intimidation by which all men keep all women in a state of fear.” – Against Our Will: Men, Woman and Rape, chapter 1.

That’s where the whole Feminist agitprop “Rape Culture” and “All men are (potential) rapists” nonsense derives from.

I like the way the V-Day Feminist agitprop is deliberately done on Valentines Day. That’s like setting a Child Abuse Awareness Day on Christmas Day – twisted. The fact that the majority of those celebrating Valentines Day are romantic heterosexual couples probably explains why it is a Feminist target.

yeah you are right, rape is not really an issue. I guess 1 billion women who have survived violence globally as reported by V-day and WHO are mostly telling fibs. Rape is obviously a none-issue. People like you are tiring.

Feminist rape statistics are bogus. Obama claimed 1 in 5 women are raped. That stat comes from a US Center For Disease Control and Prevention study in 2010-2011. It was a telephone survey with a low response and non representative sample. Worse the respondents were not asked if they had been raped or sexually assaulted, instead answers to vaguely worded questions were assessed by the CFD on whether any alcohol or drugs were involved in the sex ie a few drinks or a puff of weed, if yes then it was “rape”.

Same with the sexual assault figures – questions like “had you ever had sex because someone made false promises about the future they knew were untrue.” A “yes” reply = “sexual violence”.

That is how the CFD padded out the stats arriving at numbers massively higher than the US Justice Departments annual crime survey – the gold standard in crime research.

Rape culture activists and politicians are heavily invested in the sensationalised and exaggerated figures. It gets them media attention, funding and political milage.

Profound and insightful way beyond expectation.

Thank you country boy. Comment like your is why I read tdb
