1 in 5 women get raped?

BTW: me calling Firefly a liar is not a personal attack, it is the truth.

Let me explain this to you in terms that you can understand.

It's not a false report it's from the CPS. Why in your twisted imagination do you think the CPS would release a false report?

Neither Hawkeye nor BillRM want to discuss actual rapes

Some basic decency, which seems to be beyond both Hawkeye and BillRM, should curb the mocking of what those people have experienced.

Equally alarming University administrators say that they need to " keep the momentum rolling" on bashing men in spite of this hoax. What we should be hearing is an apology to all men for their making an assumption that men suck.

In important ways, this is wrong. We should believe, as a matter of default, what an accuser says. Ultimately, the costs of wrongly disbelieving a survivor far outweigh the costs of calling someone a rapist. Even if Jackie fabricated her account, U-Va. should have taken her word for it during the period while they endeavored to prove or disprove the accusation. This is not a legal argument about what standards we should use in the courts; it’s a moral one, about what happens outside the legal system.

The accused would have a rough period. He might be suspended from his job; friends might defriend him on Facebook. In the case of Bill Cosby, we might have to stop watching his shows, consuming his books or buying tickets to his traveling stand-up routine. But false accusations are exceedingly rare, and errors can be undone by an investigation that clears the accused, especially if it is done quickly

The cost of disbelieving women, on the other hand, is far steeper. It signals that that women don’t matter and that they are disposable — not only to frat boys and Bill Cosby, but to us. And they face a special set of problems in having their say.

These two fear women, and the power and influence of women. "Feminism" has simply become their code word, and scapegoat, for that female power, and the greater assertiveness women in general have expressed regarding issues they consider important to them. "Feminism" is the favored scapegoat of the so-called internet men's rights groups that try to promote men as society's newest victimized group--victimized, of course, by alleged "feminists" who are supposedly hell bent on destroying men.

When female empowerment threatens inadequate men, they have to find some way of putting them down.

An do not forget Hawkeye that when we do find without question that a woman had indeed level completely false charges against a man or men we can not punish her for doing so.

Do you ever have a moment of clarity where you laugh at your ideological bullshit?

I think she knows exactly what she is doing, which is why I call her constant gibberish and untrue statements lies.

In 1985, as crack cocaine use was surging in American cities, the New England Journal of Medicine published a provocative study. Based on preliminary data from 23 women who’d used cocaine while pregnant, the study yielded a rash of news stories suggesting that cocaine use during pregnancy could lead to birth defects and developmental disorders. In time, more studies, many of them failing to account for the effects of poverty and poor prenatal care, led to op-eds and outrage over a generation of so-called crack babies. They would have lowered IQs and be unable to feel love, potty-train, or dress themselves—a “bio-underclass” of black children facing lives of “certain suffering, of probable deviance, of permanent inferiority.” Starting in the mid ’80s, hundreds of women were arrested for using cocaine and other drugs while pregnant, even though the majority gave birth to healthy babies. Thirty women at a hospital in South Carolina, almost all of them black, were surreptitiously tested for cocaine use (some still pregnant, others having just delivered) and arrested, several still dressed in their hospital gowns and bleeding from labor.



As we now know, the mass hysteria over “crack babies” and their deviant mothers was unfounded. Crack cocaine doesn’t do the kind of damage we thought it did to developing babies. It can lead to “small but measurable differences on certain neuropsychological tests,” Boston University professor of pediatrics Deborah Frank says, but nothing like the devastating effects that researchers and the press predicted. Cocaine use during pregnancy is about equivalent to tobacco in terms of its effect on the fetus, and a lot less harmful than heavy alcohol use, says Frank. Unfortunately, instead of learning from this heady mix of bad science, a sensationalist press, over-reaching prosecutors, and the narrative of the selfish mother content to damage her baby, we’re repeating it.

Repeating it and worse. Ten years ago, “meth babies” were supposed to “make the crack baby look like a walk in the nursery,” and when that scourge failed to materialize, we got “oxytots,” as Fox News charmingly dubbed the children born dependent to prescription opioids like Oxycontin.
