It's adversarial to bring up the unavoidable conclusion of your own argument?

So by your logic, men shouldn't feel afraid of being falsely accused of rape at all. It shouldn't even register. And that's what I'm trying to say as well. You're also still downplaying just how not-rare rape really is. Just because it's down from what it was in the 70s (when it was ABSURDLY...

Oh god I just listened to that video. What in the actual fuck.

Yeah, well, I'm a psychologist. Technically, we are in the business of not only studying human behavior but also reducing the amount of mental illness in the world, so I'm really curious if there's any angle of attack on this problem. And even the IDEA of getting to postulate anything to do...

A large part of that mortality rate is because men take those risks upon themselves.Anecdote:Almost all of the people that have died from my graduating HS class in the past 15 years, were men who died from motorcycle accidents in their 20s. The reason people don't freak out when they get into...

I disagree with a bunch of your premises (for instance, women could be accused of adultery, witchcraft or whatever other crazy nonsense and put to death for an affair gone wrong, crazy wasn't just something only men had to deal with) but at least that's closer to the kind of discussion I was...

I AM asking academic questions, yes, that was the point.

Yeah and the number #1 male sex fantasy is "a girl who wants to have sex." I'm trying to figure out how to bridge this clearly problematic gap. Also there's about as much similarity betweenactual rapeandrape fantasyas there is between youwanting a sandwichand youwanting to marry and...

Tomatoes.

I ask this hypothetical because what I get out of this whole discussion is most of you believe, explicitly or implicitly, that the rising fear/cost/risk for young men of engaging in sex is turning young men away from wanting to engage in sex. But that fear/cost/risk calculation is the very same...

That's a whole lot of words for someone who doesn't understand the difference between 'not enough evidence to proceed' and 'false accusation.' Also arguing a ton of things I didn't actually say, as usual. I didn't even propose the sex contracts, they sound fucking retarded. My hypothetical...

I'm not disputing any of those things. What I'm saying is that if 'fear of being raped' is considered irrational and not worth worrying about because we're below some arbitrary number of 'acceptable rapes' than fear of being falsely accused of rape has got to be even more unfounded and...

What's the easiest way to make these gifs? Let's assume I capture with Shadowplay, what's the fastest way to turn clips from those videos into gifs?

Trollface? Is that you?

Chrono Trigger > Xenogears.

Terrible compared to Call Me a Hole.

Separate guns per side was something the community asked for.

One thing PS1 and PS2 have always had is amazing server tech.

I'm constantly sick of people mischaracterizing my own posts. I wanted people to brainstorm some ideas for verifying consent for the protection of both parties. As an aside, I also wanted people to understand the inherent double-sided nature of a rape case, from incident report all the way...

That is a fucking horrible post. Can you tell me what the 'proper' way to handle being raped is? "Run to the police officer..." Seriously? If someone broke into your house would you blame yourself for not being home, standing in the window with a shotgun 24/7 and just not even bother to...

They should make potato chips that taste like corn chips, just to fuck with people.

They became big stories because they fell apart. And that really just the three that stick out in your mind. Confirmation bias. There's tons of rape stories that never make any news, because they're so uninteresting.

I would have known if someone I knew was being accused of rape by the school administration. It's not something that gets kept secret very well, especially for someone who's worked in practically every office on this place at some point. It's not like they had to tell me about it in...

I'm operating under the assumption that a very very very tiny fraction of women are willing to go through the ridicule and character assaults and other accusations that go along with accusing someone of rape, if it didn't happen. The reason these false rape accusations make news is because...

Sandy.

Regardless, I don't think 'carry a weapon into the bedroom' is a good message that will incentivize girls to feel safer and have more sex.

Especially lesbians who haven't dated in almost 8 years.

Isn't it true that you're more likely to have the weapon turned against you? Anyway, it's illegal to carry guns on my campus. Even the cops are forbidden by state law to carry guns (even though they're real cops that have the same training as all other cops in the state.) ROTC kids have to...

Yeah, I'm sorry, considering people on this forum have actually killed themselves I shouldn't have said that. Eat 4 pints of Ben and Jerry's instead. It works for McCheese.

I agree completely, but the problem is that in a rape, in reality, both people are effectively on trial. These are supposed to be hard questions.

I really really don't want to bring personal anecdotes into this, even though you did earlier in the thread, but I've had plenty of acquaintances of both genders (friends even, back when I had friends) on this pretty rapey campus over the past 15 years or so. I know more than a few girls who...

You should probably just kill yourself.

You can be technically be accused of assault if you defend yourself like that. And then it's back to your word against his.

They do physically assault each other a significant amount. Just because I said avoiding contact with men does not mean I was implying any kind of complementary substitute.

If we're going to come up with ridiculous ideas, (it's ridiculous because the girl is still more likely to have the weapon used against her) completely avoiding contact with men also works. I'm the one trying to brainstorm solutions that will make girls safer, make men safer from false...

Because the majority of crimes (including rapes) happen to very poor people, homeless people, etc like I said in my post. If you only look at middle class+ girls, campus is the most likely place they're going to be raped.

So you admit that your standpoint is based on an irrational fear of something that isstatistically even less likelyto happen than a girl getting raped? Because rapes still outnumber false rape accusations by a HUGE margin. My point is that rapes are still so high that fear of rape is not an...

I'm not comfortable with this either. Our prison system is completely and totally inhumane. Our level of incarceration is a disgrace to the country.

What's an acceptable risk to be afraid of? Are you trying to say 4% chance and a 20% chance really makes an order of magnitude difference in whether you should be afraid or not? And even greater than the fear of rape is the fear that your rape won't be treated seriously.
