20: But it's fine to joke about it, right? Let us have our fun, and stuff.

Re: #20

... you're probably correct in how many actual cases there really are ... but unfortunately, with the way Attorneys are today, as well as the Police, Prosecutor and News Media, the real victims are too ashamed or too afraid to come forward and even if they do they are told upfront that their entire (personal) sex lives are going to be thrown out into the open and that likely keeps most of them from stepping forward and therefore nothing gets done ... it's not right, not how it should be, and it's the way it is now (legal wise) because of the ones that have made false allegations ... so, the actual guilty ones never get prosecuted, the innocent ones get their lives ruined (like a lot of famous athletes have) and the real victims become victimized again by the court system ...

Sorry guys. It just wasn't funny at all. Yes, some women have made false accusations. Sixty percent plus of all rapes(date, stranger, acquaintance) never even get reported because of fear, embarrassment or family pressure. Women know that when they report a rape, some people are going to scoff, make fun or mock them. And that's even before a trial, where a woman can get bashed around so badly that she never recovers. Then other women learn what the victim went through and decide not to report it when and if it happens to them.

Men can and have been raped by women. I am sure they feel as "wonderful" as the women victims.

None of you must never have known a rape victim, whether date rape or otherwise (over 70% actually know their attacker), because if you did, you would be incapable of making jokes about it.

Thank you for reading this public service announcement.

YAV,

... Mike Tyson & Art Kelly should make an appearance here as well ...

... but Erica & Suzi are both correct in what they've said ... I agree with them fully ... and sadly enough, those that do get away with it and there are those that don't that have their lives ruined with false allegations ...

... the system is broken ... we need to go back to the days of hangings and lynch mobs ... and sadly enough, that might actually improve society ...

...'cept for the occasional innocent hanging of course ...

Not to be too much of a damper on all'y'all's fun, but it is called date rape to highlight that rape is not always a crime committed by unknown assailants.

Sometimes, it is committed by folks who just assume they are "owed" sex or by friends that assume they are entitled to sex.

I agree that there have been abuses by people who use date rape as an excuse for having been seduced. Nevertheless, rape jokes just ain't funny.
