Sex with someone too young to give legal consent is statutory rape - as is sex with someone too mentally impaired to give legal consent, too intoxicated to give legal consent or too unconscious to give legal consent.

Originally posted by Darth Ovious View PostI think they can get that point across better than that though. Seriously this is just not suitable for fighting such a thing. The difference in font means a lot too since the word rape is in big letters while the underage part is in small letters. Also the part "one day" seems to specify some point in the future. Ask yourself the question, who is this message actually aimed at? Who is supposed to learn anything from this?

Am I correct in thinking that if a man did this he would be instantly sacked and there would be no need to put it to a vote?
I love the fact that she is defending it as jokes when you actually banned men for a diversity event.
This is the bit I love the most.

Originally posted by Darth Ovious View PostThe problem is plenty of people get advice on how to protect themselves from becoming victims of crimes. When I go to a cash machine it tells me to look over my shoulder to make sure nobody is looking at my pin. I don't take a hissy fit and walk into the bank and cry "teach thieves not to steal". The whole point of this image is not as a parody, it is taking a hissy fit at the police who are only doing their job in giving advice to people to protect themselves.

Originally posted by Psychic Missile View PostThe advice given to women on how to avoid getting raped is often impractical, doesn't reflect how rapes really happen, and implies at least partial blame. That last part is especially bad because rape victims are, uniquely, often told that their rape was their fault and in many cases, the rapists are made out to be the real victims.
2) What on earth are you talking about in regards to the bolded part? If you mention cases in regards to false rape accusations then I'll know that you're in fact a nutcase.

Just remember people. False rape allegations are rare. Pay no attention to the fact that four girls, not one, not two, not three but four girls can collude with each other to falsely accuse a taxi driver of rape so they don't need to pay a $13 cab fare.
However, what happened in the taxi was caught on a video camera Yasa had installed inside his car after a passenger tried to assault him a couple of years before. Based on the video evidence of what happened in his cab, Yasa was not charged.
I should point out that I've followed this case before and the CCTV footage shows that the cab driver did not even lay one single finger on the girls. He literally didn't even touch them.

2) People will often blame rape victims for rocking the boat, tarnishing a reputation, or ruining a life. A good example of this is the reporters on CNN who grieved for the Steubenville rapists.

Originally posted by Psychic Missile View Post1) There really aren't any rape prevention tips. People are often raped by a family member or a friend. The idea that rape victims could have taken steps to prevent their rape goes hand-in-hand with the idea that rape victims are responsible for their rape, deserve their rape, or secretly desired their rape.

In saying that though I think that is the only case I can remember seeing something like that and I don't remember any other cases since Judge Pickles and his stupid statement.
