I do not believe anyone has made such an outrageous claim here on TOL?i'm particularly amused by the extremist feminist claim that all sex is rape, that women can't consent by virtue of our historically patriarchal society, blablablablablablabla
That's what the Bible teaches.
True. But, again, if you knowingly put yourself in harm's way instead of wisely avoiding it, then you're responsible for your own stupidity (that's also what the Bible teaches), though absolutely not responsible for the crime of another who took advantage of your stupidity. Is that what happens in every case of rape? NO. No one has ever said it was. But in some cases, yes. Had that simple fact been honestly acknowledged as the fact it is, these threads would have ceased weeks ago.

Now, now, it is not so bad to be called on your peccadilloes!
If you would consent to unharden your heart and let the Love of God penetrate you might learn compassion and mercy and forgiveness...even love, eventually.
I assume that goes for me as well. If so, okay.
Two scenarios:
a) A man kidnaps a woman and rapes her.
b) A woman gets drunk or high with a man/men, and he/they rape her.
In both cases, the rapists should HANG BY THE NECK UNTIL DEAD.
The woman in (a) bears no responsibility. The woman in (b) bears responsibility. But the rapists should still hang.
c) A woman gets drunk or high around men, and willingly has sex with one or more of them. The next day...or the next month...she regrets it, or is angry one hasn't texted her. She files a rape report.
Questions:
1) What should happen to the man/men who she willingly had sex with but are now accused of rape?
2) What should happen to the woman?
None of these are far-out scenarios. They happen all the time, so please don't brush them off as unrealistic.
A woman who lies and bears false witness ought to be prosecuted for committing a crime.
Her heart isnt hard because she believes we do things that bring bad consequences on us all the time.
Seems to me, yours is, because you are condemning her, me and anyone else who admits we reap what we sow.

He's on ignore ... as anyone who uses the word *deserves* in regards to rape victims should be.
I am not speaking of consensual sex. That should clear things up.
Do you really think that I care about your neg rep?
It shows how childishly spiteful you are.
Or how honest, how about posting it here for all to see? Im not ashamed of what i say. You should be though, because yours is dishonest.
You are making a rash judgment of me.
I am not ashamed of what I post.
I rarely am dishonest.
And what you have sent in private stays private.
I do not brush them off. They do happen. When my beloved son was in college I warned him about the dangers for him.

I do not deny that a person's behavior may contribute to a dangerous situation.
I hold that a man is responsible to resist temptation. I further hold that it is necessary for young women to be careful in the message they may be projecting.
Young people are attracted to each other. That is normal. But for men or women to simply use one another for sexual gratification is, to my mind, immoral.
It is especially immoral if force or coercion is employed as well as deliberate seduction by males or females.
I completely agree.
At any rate, I think that you are arguing from a misunderstanding of OkDozer's use of the word "deserves." He does not, so far as I can tell, mean by this that it is ever just or good to rape someone.
That's something that has been starting to happen, though only after men getting the 'guilty until proven innocent' treatment.
We've progressed, at least, to a point where if it can be proven that the accusation was a lie than the woman will go to jail.
What still needs to change however is the 'guilty until innocent' thing- men are pretty much badgered from beginning to the end, where the case is often dismissed with prejudice if they manage to escape it.
It's like 'legal assault' really. Or harassment. That's a whole lot for someone to go through just on base accusation- something that doesn't exist for virtually any other crime.
True. Even the accusation, though proven false, can destroy a man's reputation forever, and there's nowhere he can go to get it back.
Thank you, agreed.
Thank you again.
A third thank you.
Yep.
Once again, agreed.
So where exactly are you and I disagreeing on this topic?
Except he never said or implied that. Hes always maintained the rapist is 100 percent guilty of what HE did and should be punished to the full extent of the law.
Its not either/or, its been pretended to be that way.
