We see it on the news practically every week. Another teacher who has raped a child in public school, only it's not called "rape" because the perpetrator is a woman. I know Stef has alluded to the data before, but I haven't seen it laid out. Does anyone know where to find the rape rates for public schools that INCLUDE female teachers raping students?

After watching the MILO video, I am very confused. I had never actually thought about how the NAP relates to age of consent. Specifically in the case of milo at age 13 and the priest. I am not disagreeing with stefans interpretation, I fully understand where he is coming from, especially about Milo not reporting the people hosting "parties" with underage boys. My confusion more specifically, is if a 13 year old consents to sex with an older man, how has the older man broken the NAP unless it is a forced event? I am assuming from stefans tone that YES it does, however I can't seem to find his arguments on the subject. In the podcast Stefan refers to what happened to Milo as rape/molestation. If stef invents a time machine, goes back to that moment, and subdues the priest, has Stefan violated the NAP? As such, in calling the priest a rapist while Milo declared it was consensual, is Stefan not implying that force was moral to use against the priest? Is he in the podcast expressing a will to violate the NAP stefs subjective idea that a 13 year old should not be with a 29 year old? Or is there some logic I am missing?

"In fact, the concept of marital rape is created by the cultural Marxists in an attempt to destroy the family and to destroy the institution of marriage." - According to our friend the Supreme Dark Lord, Vox Day. Source: http://heatst.com/world/feminism-debates-vox-day-vs-louise-mensch-on-marital-rape/ But if this sounds worrisome to you, don't fret. He doesn't mean that you can physically assault her, just that you can get her drunk or drugged, or rape her while she sleeps. That's totally ok. "Well, I think if you’re talking about a woman being inebriated or asleep you could imagine those situations where you would view it as rape and I would not." What do you think? Is Vox right that a woman has an obligation to have sex with her husband even if she's ill or incapacitated, but not to the point of bruises, but ok with intoxicants or if she's unconscious?

Scenario: A woman wearing slutty clothes, goes into the dirtiest bar and flirts with the sleaziest looking man. She gets drunk with him, goes back to his house, flirts with him a little and things go too far. He begins to try to have sex with her, she says no, but he doesn't listen and she is raped. Background: Recently my girlfriend and I have been debating this idea of the nature of responsibility in the situations leading up to a rape occurring. It began with her stating that she should be able to wear whatever she wanted when walking down the street. I told her that I didn't want her wearing sexual things without me because that may lead to "bad things" happening to her. I said that she is free to do it, but she has to understand that there are consequences for her actions (even if that can lead to rape at the most sever level). I tried to compare it to a person walking into a bear infested forest with meat wrapped around them and being eaten by a bear, or a guy walking down a dark ally with $100 hanging out of his pockets and getting robbed. At this point she told me that I am comparing apples and oranges and that a woman who is raped "never has any responsibility" for putting herself in that situation. Question: 1. Does the woman have any responsibility for the rape occurring? 2. If she does have a responsibility, can her actions here, or in any other scenario ever take away responsibility from the offender? 3. Does this mean I am telling her that she/women in general cannot wear whatever they want? Thoughts?

This article is a powerful indictment of non-monogamy and its role in the creation of ISIS from the perspective of genetic selection (which the author mislabels "evolutionary theory"). Warning: There is a lot of discussion of extreme violence, especially rape. http://quillette.com/2016/01/07/original-sin-the-sexual-motivation-of-religious-extremists/

The ending might surprise you...or not.

I found this article on /r/MensRights thread on reddit and it is a police study showing the rape statistics since 2007. I know Stef and Mike said there have been no recent studies due to the unacceptable shaming of being branded sexist or misogynist. I wanted to share this in hopes of shedding more light on a horrifying issue and needs to be changed. As the police say, they take this issue very seriously, and the most common reason for the accusation was to protect the women involved. Its a defense mechanism. However, no means can justify accusing anyone of a false crime especially one that damages a person for years after. I hope you all find this.Justin Eight out of ten rapes are faked The police in Rostock determined with great effort. But the majority of reported cases of sexual abuse are made-up stories. 09/11/2015 19:19 clock Trailing Scene: Eight out of ten rapes are faked, according to the police. © Jens Wagner Rostock. Whether rape, child abuse, exhibitionism, child pornography - 173 offenses against sexual self-determination has been recognized in this year the Criminal Inspection (KPI) Rostock. 2014 there were 262 cases. More than 80 percent of them were well educated, according to police. Since 2007, Detective Chief Commissioner Britta Rabe concerned with sexual offenses in Rostock and in the district, along with three colleagues.Increasingly, there are investigators but to do with false cases: Eight out of ten sex offenses are faked. "We take this very seriously ads," says CEO Peter Mainka KPI. It would wanted with a large police contingent for possible perpetrators, operated elaborate forensic crime scenes, heard many witnesses. Yet the investigators have at the end often find that there has been in fact no crime."Often there are allegations protection of women, in order to justify a slip, a wrongdoing against husband, boyfriend or parents," says Britta Rabe.

I saw this article that someone posted on my facebook feed: http://www.buzzfeed.com/spenceralthouse/male-survivors-of-sexual-assault-quoting-the-people-who-a In part I'm glad it was shown, especially on buzzfeed which is very feminist. Some thoughts that I had while reading: -how sad and angry I am for what the participants went through, in both the experience itself, and the way that it was received by others -I noticed that many of the people in the article were transgendered - and does that make a difference? It sounds like many of the transgendered people were women when they had their experience, which makes me feel like the article was still implying that rape is more of a female-oriented issue in general. But that may not be accurate, since I don't know if they include female transgendered individuals in similar articles about women, who were raped when they were still physically men. Either way, I think I would call it a good thing that this article attempts to show that men are also victims of rape, and that they require empathy too. I'd be interested in hearing thoughts.

Great analogy that I think deserves a share.

Something I feel strongly about, and I put it in my introduction post, is the idea the Ethics is context sensitive. To lie is a bad idea, but if you lie to protect someone it maybe the best idea. Actions are not moral, reasons are. The question of morality and ethics is why? We can ask who did what, we can ask where it happened, but if we don’t ask why, then we are not asking the moral question. “So in a chat Yesterday someone asked does it matter why your wife was raped? She want be unraped. “ Yes it matters, and, yes she maybe unraped” The difference between rape, and making love is context: A) A 30 year old woman have intercourse with a 13 year old boy is Rape by definition. What if they were in love? B) A 30 year old man is having intercourse with a 13 year old girl, is Rape by definition. But what if they were in love? If you are being honest with yourself most people feel differently about those to situations. Should we? Well that is a question of Harm. Rape is ultimately a question of harm, we can be harmed stepping off the sidewalk. Now we can sue the engineer for following specifications of how sidewalks should be constructed, or we can take responsibility for talking on are cell phone and not paying attention. “A wife that is having an affair and then claimed she was raped, when she ends up pregnant, is not a wife raped.” The rape of a woman is some culture is seen as a harm to a Husband or a Father, and the woman is held accountable for getting into the situation. Your first instinct maybe as is mine is that this is crazy, as crazy as it is, to ignore the context of culture could result in more harm. But saying you were raped and being raped can be a matter of semantics, it is also a matter of legal definition in the above cases. A person that is raped, may have no physical damaged to them, yet they may also be extremely emotionally traumatized. The worse thing we can do with rape is make it worse then it is. We make matters far worse when we assume that a 13 year old girl will be traumatized by her experience with an old man and vise a versa. Harm should never be assumed, and not doing more harm should be the response of a free society. If we value marriage their maybe harm in having too many premarital partners. However, if you don’t value the concept of monogamous marriage then it’s a different question. There is harm in allowing adults to have sex with children. However, Harm is contextual to values, and perceptions, and too often we try to project our values and perceptions onto children, causing them more harm. Projecting are emotions on children only causes emotional confusion. It is not a question of how you think they should feel it is only a question of how they feel.
