New York grand jury has decided to indict Weinstein on rape charges
Damn missed this but there's one key thing you are missing. Yes the percentage is small but that's because it's only the amount that can be proven unfounded. So along with your little addendum on not all proven being necessarily false you'd need one on the rest of not necessarily being true. Or I could use the same logic in reverse and take the number found not guilty and subtract....
wew lad. you need to read more Harry Potter novels.
How many more because I'm at zero and would like to keep the number under 1
So is your argument "Because the number of false rape claims after investigation is between 2-10% there must be a gargantuan number of false rape claims that are undiscovered"?
You do realize that a gargantuan number of rapes go unreported and even among those reported, its not like most of the women WANT to be known as victims of rape.
As much as your argument is "Because the number of rape convictions after investigation and trial is between 2-13% there must be a gargantuan number of rapist that are undiscovered"
The logic is ridiculous regardless of which direction you take it from. Similar the stats where you get the unreported from come from even worse level of proof and are at best estimates of what people feel. There is a damn good reason that the burden of proof is on the prosecution/accuser usually and it's because there is a huge gray area. But I doubt you are actually reading what I'm putting out since people tend to throw the logic they normally use out the door in these cases so here have some Boondocks
Harry Potter are overrated children's books for people who want to think they are reading adult novels. Idk just never got into and having dated some fanatics and taking them to the HP land in universal turned me off even more lol
It's not that I don't read... actually believe it or not my favorite author growing up was Marion Zimmer Bradley. I'm sure those aware of her and her work will be somewhat surprised lol. At least was until I decided to look her up because of this and now my childhood is ruined and not sure what to think now. Normally this would be a first world problem except... Marion Zimmer Bradley's daughter accuses her of abuse
Harry Potter books are fun. Sorry that you don't like fun.
Harry Potter books are great, I read 'em in my 20s no ragerts
There has been more than one study on unreported rapes, and it's perfectly logical for how the victims feel to enter into the equation. Regretting sleeping with someone is not rape. Forcing, tricking, drugging and non-consenting are. You want to play this stupid "absence of evidence is not evidence" bullshit, but your entire argument basically falls back on that. Bringing up unreported rape was a bonus that sits on the top of actual rape cases, along with marital rape and dumb laws that let people slide up until after the early 90s.
NOBODY is claiming the burden of proof is NOT on the prosecution. We are saying dudes that get jammed up for rape most likely did it in the same way people locked up for murder without parole most likely did it, and guess what? Before those dudes go to trial for murder, they are accused for it then charged. We are saying the women that are pulling the "he raped me lolz" successfully getting dudes locked up in this day and age are of a severe minority. Why? A. Because there are a shitload of social reasons why a majority of women don't want to make the shit up and B. You know, proof.
I'll be honest, I don't even really understand your argument or the point you're trying to establish by making it.
