Your entire performance on the subject of school meals, or the dole. As you gleefully put it, people starving or going homeless is them "getting what's coming to them".
technodup":28cd4ve9 said:That cuts both ways, e.g. the recent Oxford union president called a rapist and proved not to be. Without the benefit of a court, evidence and other such triviality how can you justifiably call anyone an evil rapist? Regardless of your beliefs or an alleged victim's circumstances one is innocent until proven otherwise. That guy will have that stigma and suspicion with him forever now, and all for a false claim from some stupid wee boot whose anonymity s protected? f**k that.
Hardly. The chances of John Q Hypothetical having his life ruined are microscopic, given the tremendous difficulty in actually getting a rape case anywhere near a court in the first place.
Besides which, I'd rather not treat traumatised people as if they're guilty of lying until proven innocent. Which is what the system already does. Ho hum.
I'm really quite bored of "what about the men!?!?!" that inevitably comes up in this situation. It's an inherent selfishness, I think. Can't let anything that's (perceived) to be about women stand without trying to focus the spotlight on your own knob again. It's a bit sad when your reaction to a lady stumbling out of an alleyway and into PTSD is to sympathise with her attacker's "rights".
