    Does 'rape culture' accurately describe (many) societies?

    According to Wikipedia 'rape culture' is: "a setting, as described by some sociological theories, in which rape is pervasive and normalized due to that setting's attitudes about gender and sexuality. Behaviours commonly associated with rape culture include victim blaming, slut-shaming, sexual...

    Should rape carry a potential life sentence?

    CNN reports: Man convicted of sexually abusing a woman on a plane could get life in prison Sentencing is Dec. 18. Does this seem excessive to anyone else? The majority of respondents to a Debate.org survey were heavily weighted toward approval. The crime as charged seems to be "sexual...

    "Not Ever" - A Campaign Against Blaming Rape Victims

    This campaign was started in Scotland. They released what is now kind of an old ad (from the summer), but it's pretty interesting. I personally think this is a good idea and would like to see a correlate in the states. More about the Not Ever campaign: Thoughts?

    What do you guys think? Free Polanski or off with his head? Anyone see the Hollywood documentary slant piece on him "Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired"?

    Researchers in Sweden propose new law: Make accused rapists prove consent

    Here's a link to a more (well barely) fleshed out article on the subject While i doubt that this law will be passed, to put the burden of proof on the accused to prove their innocence is a bit too much even for the Swedish feminists. But there seems to be a trend going on, not only in Sweden...

    What does it take for rape to be taken seriously?

    Sigh. I know it's not that long ago since we had a huge number of threads about rape and the way it is handled by police and the courts, but I still feel I had to start this thread. After the cases of John Warboys and Kirk Reid were completely bungled by London's specialist sex offences...

    What's up with the Japanese and their rape fetish?

    Amazon discontinued the sale of some obscure Japanese computer game. The reason? the game is a rape simulator in which the player gets to sexually assault women. There's lots of sexual violence in those Manga cartoons too. So rape themed erotica seems to be a major characteristic of Japanese...

    Can't we all just get along?

    I have been saddened by the recent threads on violence and sexual assault and I had largely withdrawn from the discussion because they are not doing anything other than polarising something which should not divide us in this way. It is deeply depressing. But I have been led to try again because...

    False allegations and attrition

    I was reading KingMerv00's thread on whether men are more violent than women and I came across this. I do not wish to derail that thread but I cannot let this pass without comment. The attrition rate in rape cases is shockingly high and there is no evidence I have seen which supports the...

    Should rapists who rape a child be put to death?

    Unless the child is murdered I say no. Not because the perp doesn't deserve death but I believe if the perp was facing the death penalty they would be more likely to kill the kid after the crime. Leave the death penalty up to the other inmates.

    Sylvia Browne and Brandy and Lisa

    Sylvia's often described as "working on" missing persons/ homicide cases (and more than a few cases of missing bodies, I might add) but she occassionally got asked to solve other crimes. She was asked to help find a perpetrator in a few rapes, assaults, abductions over the years. I'm putting...

    Need help following up on a SB case

    So this is a tough one because it's not a homicide or disappearance but a rape (so the victims were likely never identified by name, enspecially since one was 17 at the time of the crime and one was just 19). So far, I've found nothing on it. I can't imagine it never having been reported...

    A disturbing story about an epidemic of rape and violence in Congo. Sometimes I find it hard to understand why life is so different in some third-world countries. What is wrong with these people? Colonialism was a long time ago. At some point I don't think you can point to that as an excuse...
