ETA: Ok, maybe they don't need to shove it. But I think more important issues than the "cry rape" are at hand. False accusations are a big deal, yes. But what is happening in our society to lead to these crimes against women and children? What is happening to boys and men in our society to lead 16-year olds from normal families in Calgary to be raping 8 year olds in a park? To men spiking drinks at clubs with drugs? To men date-raping women? I just don't understand.
False accusations are important and shouldn't be overlooked. But there are far, FAR, more urgent issues to be addressed regarding sexual assualts IMO. |
I disagree. All the above are horrible and all those actions ruin lives. Much like what I said in the rape comedy thread, "
There are so many horrible things happening in this world and rape doesn't trump them. It stands with them." Every potential life ruining crime deserves attention.
I've had the pleasure of facing a false accusation. Not rape, but it was just a serious. I'm fortunate I was in a hospital during the said time of the "crime" or I would have been in big trouble. Not much happened to her though. Actually, there was no repercussion for lying.
