Ken Clarke is right, of course. A 17yo having sex with his 15yo girlfriend is not rape. If that same girl was dragged into an alley and forced to have intercourse by a stranger IS rape.

FIRST OF ALL,

Women are not the sole victims of rape. In fact, they are technically the minority. Far more men are raped in prisons but this female centric society says & does nothing bout it.

SECOND,

MOST accusations of rape are FALSE, which means the supposed "rapist" is the actual victim. As it stands, there is NO criminal charges for false accusers.

THIRD,

Not all rapes are equal.

100% consensual sex in the evening is not rape simply because the woman regrets it the following morning.

Who is this woman interviewing? She needs to be identified as an enemy of men.

[ranasingh]

You could just execute all rapists.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa hate feminist fucking bullcrap...that man said nothing wrong!

[MultiAndrewFisher]

How idiotic to suggest that all rapes are equal, of course they aren't.

[sirskeptic]

Stealing some postits from work is not the same as robbery with violence.

Theft is NOT theft, murder is NOT murder and rape is NOT rape.

This woman is certifiable if she believes that two consenting teenagers is the same as pack rape with screwdrivers. That has to be one of the most ignorant statements ever - he should have crushed her for that.

Thanks to the power of feminists women are allowed to withdraw consent after the fact and innocent men are going to prison for it all the time where they themselves will be raped daily for years. Stupid feminists have made women less safe by clogging up the legal system on "he did not call; he is a loser; he will pay charges and by encouraging women to be single and living the life of a party girl which open them to real rape.

well my two cents is that yes rape is a serious crime, but because as we have seen fromt he innocence project when people starting taking DNA analysis in the 90s they found out that alleged "rapists" who had been imprisoned since the 80s weren't the rapists, which leads to the conclusion that their exists false accusations. so basically you can't take the male or female side and each case would have to dealt with subjectively and objectively.

I wonder how long she thinks a woman should go to jail for a false rape story

[dvarblo]

@WizardKing78 true.

[WizardKing78]

@dvarblo I just contend that having sex with an underage teenager should not be termed 'rape'. It's thoroughly misleading.
