Men being abused and raped by women is actually much more common than 1 in
77.
In fact, if you include "made to penetrate" as women raping men, the
numbers are almost equal.
Here, a voice for men article detailing the fallacies of such thinking:
http://www.avoiceformen.com/mens-rights/ill-decide-if-you-were-raped-not-you/
Also, almost the same amount of men are suffering from domestic violence
from women. Domestic violence is not a gendered issue.
http://www.batteredmen.com/NISVS.htm
Also:
http://www.domesticviolenceresearch.org/index.htm
This web site aggregated all research about domestic violence, more than
1700 peer reviewed studies, and findings are quite telling:
*Perpetration*
- Overall, 25.3% of individuals have perpetrated IPV
- Rates of female-perpetrated violence higher than male-perpetrated
(28.3% vs. 21.6%)
Meaning women initiate domestic violence more than men do.
You totally dismiss the video I sent earlier, making an ad hominem argument
against Stefan Molyneux. He cites all the research that goes into that
video, I linked before. And you claim he was wrong before in some other
unrelated issue, so he is not reliable.
Guess what, one man making one invalid argument, doesn't mean any other
argument he makes is false too. In fact, we are all fallible human beings,
no one is %100 right his whole life about everything. If you are looking
for a person or organisation %100 right, to look into his arguments, you
will find no one as a "reliable source". I disagree with many things Stefan
Molyneux says (defooing, supporting Trump as an anarchist etc), but that
video of his is a well researched one I mostly agree.
By the same criteria, you cannot use CDC as a reliable source either.
They claimed a woman "making a man to penetrate her" is not rape. So if a
woman pulls a gun to a guy's head and forces him to have sex with her, it
is not rape. It is only rape if a man does it. Famous Mary Koss study.
https://toysoldier.wordpress.com/2013/04/08/cdc-being-made-to-penetrate-isnt-rape/
Of course, if you first define rape as something only a man can do, you
won't find it in your research. Duh.
And the "1 in 5" study you cited actually considers having consensual sex
after consuming alcohol the same as rape. So it is basically bs.
http://time.com/3633903/campus-rape-1-in-5-sexual-assault-setting-record-straight/
"*Since you began college, has anyone had sexual contact with you by using
physical force or threatening to physically harm you?*
and
*Since you began college, has someone had sexual contact with you when you
were unable to provide consent or stop what was happening because you were
passed out, drugged, drunk, incapacitated, or asleep? This question asks
about incidents that you are certain happened.*
To be counted as a victim of sexual assault or rape and included in the
1-in-5 statistic (19.8%), a woman would have to be a senior and answer
“Yes” to one or both of those questions."
So basically your "hard numbers" are a bunch of made up lies. Starting with
this "1 in 5" bs. They considered drunk consensual sex the same as rape, to
inflate rape numbers. So basically any woman having sex after a few drinks
and partying in college is included in that "1 in 5".
And hundreds of colleges report no rape incidents. However, feminists argue
that is a bad thing. (because they rely on rape/victim narrative to get
government funding)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2016/06/15/hundreds-of-colleges-had-zero-rape-reports-in-2014-and-that-could-be-worrisome/
And actual rape prevention methods that work are, -surprise surprise- based
on women being more responsible in taking preventive measures. Not put
themselves at risky situations, clearly defining boundaries and actually
saying no, etc.
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/12/health/college-rape-prevention-program-proves-a-rare-success.html
Therefore your pathetic attempts to push bs propaganda on an anarchist
email list has failed totally. No one is buying the crap you are selling.
I only demand that:
1) Laws and their application to be sex and gender neutral. Rape, domestic
violence, sexual harassment, etc, if it is a crime when a man does it, it
shall be an equal crime if a woman does it. And there should be clear cut,
simple, provable definitions for all of it. No vague definitions in
"consent" or anything like that.
Also, no assumption of men are always the perpetrators, women are always
the victims. Anyone can be a perpetrator or a victim of crime and violence.
Sex or gender is irrelevant. Women are equally capable to men in
perpetrating violence, rape, and sexual harassment.
Laws being not gender-neutral is like laws being not race neutral. It is
like claiming a murder is murder only if a black person kills a white
person. If a white person kills a black person, it is not murder at all.
Not even a crime.
That kind of double standards go against the very fundamentals of justice
and law.
2) False accusations shall be as severely punished as the original crime.
A man being falsely punished for rape that he didn't commit has his whole
life ruined, and much more so than a real rape victim. While there is no
punishment at all for a false accuser. This simply is not fair and creates
more false accusers.
That's all I want.
Other than that I don't even understand what this topic has to do with this
list.
If you have any hard evidence (video recordings, rape kit results etc)
about this specific case, contact the authorities.
I'm pretty sure no one will ever get raped over an email list.
I joined this list for discussions about bitcoins, darknet, mesh networks,
anonymity and privacy online etc, to learn more about disruptive
decentralized technologies. I don't even understand how one particular
anarchist being accused of rape or sexual harassment has anything to do
with this list.
