Reply #16: This implies that women go around throwing out accusations of rape

[skygazer]

for no real reason. Which is a charming and false stereotype. Sure, there are cases in which women falsely accuse men of rape - not nearly so many as a lot of people seem to think.

An accusation of rape results in a humiliating and embarassing series of actions for a woman. The rape exam itself is a traumatic and often depersonalizing experience. You get to talk - repeatedly - about very intimate details of your sex life with people you've never met before who write it all down and ask probing questions about it all. Eventually, if it goes that far, you get to testify about it all in front of a large room full of people, including the person who raped you. It's not fun, it's not something people do on a whim just to get even with that guy down at the bar that night.

"The law expects men to limit their drinking around women, and take legal responsiblity for their actions if they become inebriated and sleep with someone that doesn't like them.." Well, yeah. Generally, "sleeping with someone who doesn't like them" translates to "sleeping with someone who doesn't want to sleep with them." Last time I checked, that defined rape.

I'd be interested to see the text of these supposed laws that "claim that every drunk woman who gets laid has been raped."
