a poorly asked question


If all accusations of rape are true, then there is no "legitimate rape", there is only rape. Since we know that not all accusations are true, and I listed some of the high profile cases where it turned out to be false, then there are victims who were legitimately raped, and, according to statistics linked in this thread, the roughly 41% of people that allege rape that are not legitimate.

If there are false rapes, then there are legitimate rapes. Thus the question, why do we put the term in quotes and mock it, if it so obviously has a place in the English language? And are people who are offended by it, stupid?

It was a skillfully asked question that elicited the exact knee-jerk responses that I hoped for from the feminist enablers.

Technically, no, there aren't. There are rapes and there are people who falsely report rape. Falsely reporting a rape does not make a rape victim any more or less legitimate. Falsely accusing someone of rape means that no rape occurred. Ergo, a false accusation NOT an illegitimate rape.

For the record, in my opinion, if it's proven that someone falsely accused someone of rape, they should be prosecuted.
