after reading these letters i need to puke
Some writer says that women are messing society so much where men think it's okay to rape? Or that rape is a "passive" aggressive revenge tactic that some men are pushed into (by women?). And some other person writes that women ARE asking to be raped if they were certain kinds of clothing(so who judges what is rape-provoking clothing?). Or go to the park. Or flirt. So instead we should keep women "barefoot and pregnant". RIGHT. Because when women were kept that way rape NEVER happened. Nor does it happen in cultures that still keep women that way, where feminism is non-existant.
I totally don't believe the stats that Clark-Flory quoted, but seeing writing like these two letters makes me think different.
Let me tell you a story about a girl that got raped in my town. She was in a local park hanging out with her boyfriend. They weren't out late, it was evening, they weren't in a bad part of town. She wasn't wearing "trashy" clothes. But a group of boys decided to have some fun. They took turns raping her while they held a gun to her boyfriend's head. They did this for no other reason than being bored. So according to some of the writers here, she deserved to have "reality to punch back" proving that she isn't "invulnerable". Well, Mr. Anonymous, you are a right a--hole. That girl and her boyfriend deserved NOTHING that happened to them. The problem wasn't with their behaviour, it was with the rapists that decided to take something that wasn't theirs to take. They broke the law, THEY did something horrible and unforgivable. The reality is that NO ONE forced them to rape. And they should be held fully responsible to their actions. If you want to call someone a "fucking retard", look in the damn mirror.
Men walk down the road worried about their wallets, so do women. We also get to worry about being raped. And don't you DARE compare getting your wallet stolen to being raped. To have another person to force you to do an act that is supposed to be filled with love and joy. To turn the most intimate acts into a mockery. To live through that and then have to worry about STDs and pregnancy. And then work through that fear and anger so you can be intimate with the one you love. If you think that is like having your wallet stolen, you have lost all humanity.

If we are going to dissect men and motives
Let's look at some of the 'logic' women use against men in justifying the crimes they perform against men.
When a woman gets pregnant with another man's kid, then lies to the guy that it is his, she sometimes justifies in her mind that he should raise the other guy's kid otherwise he is not a good man or he does not really 'love' her.
When a woman conveniently 'forgets' birth control in order to snag a guy by getting herself pregnant with his kid, she justifies it by telling him he should feel 'blessed' to have a child.
When a woman walks away from a marriage, divorcing the guy and taking his kids and house, she justifies it by thinking if only he had done more of what she wanted him to do, never realizing he is his own person and that if he mistreated her in the same way, she would never stand for it.
I could go on, and on,
and
on
But you begin to see my point.
Women do not have a monopoly on morality (but to hear the feminasties tell it...)

it never fails to amaze me
that it's "man-hating feminists" who insist that men are actually capable of controlling themselves and NOT raping anyone, while the antifeminist males insist that men are slavering animals helpless before their libidos, and will rape indiscriminately if women "encourage" their attention. Which is the anti-male attitude here?

BS65, those aren't crimes.
But rape is a crime.

Wales
In the next to last paragraph, shouldn't it be "...England and Wales' National Rape Crisis..." instead of "...England and Wale's.." Wouldn't your version speak of a crisis belonging to England and someplace called "Wale"?

And this is the country that scored higher
than the US on Gender Equity?
England has two problems: One is alcohol. It's a hell of a lot harder for a women to prevent rape if she's drunk. (And of course, drunk guys are a lot fuzzier about consent. Is it needed? Was it given? What the heck is is?)
The other is the glorification of slutty behavior. Want five minutes of fame? Flash your boobs on TV, in the newspapers, on big brother. There are TV shows/new stories that follow 20-somethings on holidays to resorts where the goal seems to be to "shag" or "snog" as many of the opposite sex as possible. Along with the crude 'lads' there are 'ladettes'.
A good night out seems to be equated with getting plastered and making out with a hot stranger.

Sounds like rape and mental torture to me
Abusing the system resulting in having the gov't take your kids away? Sounds worse than rape to me, frankly.
Your kids. Can you or mwise imagine anything worse?
If you read about a foreign government forcefully separating a parent from her child, wouldn't you be screaming bloody murder and protesting human rights?
If this happened to you, wouldn't it send you into a lifelong depression?
Is there anything worse that can happen to a good loving person that to have the system treat them as a monster and have their children stolen from them? And have that topped off by years and years of forced servitude to pay your rapist?
mwise, with all due respect, I don't think you can even begin to comprehend what real rape is.
