RAPE: What they say and the "Truth" about it
What they say: 'Rapists look evil'
The truth: Rapists are usually 'ordinary' guys, of all ages and backgrounds
What they say: 'Rape is committed by strangers in dark alleys'
The truth: In 80-90% of cases the attacker is known to the victim, and it may occur in your own home
What they say: 'Nice girls don't get raped'
The truth: Women of all ages and from all different backgrounds can be the victims of rape
What they say: 'She was asking for it'
The truth: Drinking, flirting or dressing in a 'sexy' way is not an invitation for sex
What they say: 'If he pays for dinner and drinks, she owes him sex'
The truth: It doesn't matter how much he spends, sex can't be expected as a payback
What they say: 'Guys can't control their sexual urges'
The truth: Guys are fully capable of controlling their sexual desires - it's about choice
What they say: 'Girls cry rape when they didn't enjoy it' 'She didn't scream or fight back, so it wasn't rape'
The truth: Only 2-7% of rapes reported are false claims (no higher than for any other crime)
What they say: 'She didn't scream or fight back, so it wasn't rape'
The truth: Women may be paralysed with fear - rape is rape, regardless of whether there's a struggle
What they say: 'It's not rape unless she's threatened with a knife or a gun'
The truth: Many victims are scared of losing their lives and being hurt even when no weapon or obvious physical force is used
What they say: 'She didn't say no'
The truth: There are many ways that people say no to sex without using the word 'no' (e.g. 'I've got a boyfriend', 'Let's just go to sleep', 'I'm not sure', 'I'd really like to but …', 'You're not my type', 'You've been drinking', 'I've been drinking', 'I want to be alone', 'Don't touch me', 'I'm not in the mood')

Ur welcome Azilana and keep them coming.....
My same thoughts...
Good on you Azilana for posting this...Even if one person read this and it was of benefit.then thats a good thing...People talk a lot of rubbish on QL....so if someone is posting a thread of benefit even if it a repeated thread...then thats a good thing.....
Nah...I'm just stating some facts.
I'm cool :-P
"I m not a kid....This thread didnt have anything in substance.... Its just a general topic and previously there were people banned for posting topics saying that the author was a troll...."
MY ANSWER: MIR83, we know who's who and what's what and who's talking with sense or not. YOU know very well WHO got banned and WHO are the TROLLS. Need I remind you WHY SPUTNIK (aka CUTESRK) GOT BANNED?
Thank you for stating your opinion that THIS THREAD HAS NO SUBSTANCE. You're entitled to your opinion...SO AM I (of you) but I'll let it slide.
Just don't forget to drink your milk :-P
and realize they weren't at fault if they got raped. When I was growing up, the girl could be put on trial and have her past brought up and usually that would get the rapist off the charge if she had dated guys or dressed in what was considered provocatively. thank goodness that has changed for the most part. Even as early as 1980 there was no such thing as date rape. Its one of the most prevalent forms of rape but no one wants to report it due to the victim thinking no one would believe her or she caused it somehow.
Kellysheroes...you're right..men can get raped..not only by women but by other men. Its still a crime of violence and not gender exclusive.
I used to work with women who were victims of rape and it has a horrible impact upon them mentally and physically in some cases. It also carries a stigma with it, which is why some women never report it.
Again..thanks Azi...you trouble maker, you...
I feel sad when I read about such things. Many of my Japanese friends have had sexual encounters where they say "I didn't do anythiing because I just wanted it to end" or "I didnt report it because I was embarassed or just want to forget it".
That's why I made a few youtube videos called
Just say No!
The main point is to stand up!

Wonder why rape means the criminal is a male and the victim is a female.
There are cases where women rape men. So it is not always guys who rape gals.

I know what the topic is all about AND I never asked your opinion anyway...
Have you forgotten that YOU started flaming my other thread so don't you come starting it again...BEHAVE PLEASE, kiddo
BTW, have you drink your milk yet?
The book has been leaked on the internet. I typed the ending, included all the twists and turns in here, and then deleted the whole thing. Sorry, i just aint the kind of guy who likes to spoil surprises. if you do want to know the end, you can PM me.
One piece of advice : Do a survey of the responses to this thread
And compare it to the definition mentioned in the Oxford Dictionary.... Chck out the disparaties and endorse ur opinion.... That shud have satisfied you by then....
You'll kill me...and the suspense. :-(
That's me for me being naughty :-P
The difference with that thread and this is THIS came from a survey and the other one got flamed because of PREM's (in)famous comments.
I'm just playing "imp" here...hehehehe
was the one which caused all the hoo hah a few weeks ago with prem. You have a very short memory my dear. tsk tsk and cos I think you are being naughty, I shall PM you the end of the book!
muhahahaha
Read the HP and be sure to bring it with you when you come back bcoz I'm gonna borrow it from you...hehehe
Just don't tell me the ending. :-P
We need a new topic to discuss and I don't think "anyone" would go haywire about it (I do hope and pray they won't) ;-P
not again! sheesh .... my week-end starts tomorrow I think I will pick up my HP book at 8 a.m. and not put the computer on until I finish reading something into which I can escape from reality.
