Is she listed on Yellow book under Sl*uts?

People like you are the reason women never reported rape.

I wonder what your reaction would be if your mother, wife or daughter were raped? I hope you never find out.

That should've been your response to post #2 which was Wayne's. Did you respond to Wayne, ladyjane? I assumed post #2 was a joke so I responded to it jokingly. I'm surprised the mods didn't pull post #2 before I responded, though in fairness they hadn't had time as the thread was new. No, I would not want such tragedy to happen. Any tragedy. To anyone.

I think you are confusing the reaction people would have to a rape that actually occurred, and the reaction people have to rapes that may or may not have occurred. In particular, we have unfortunately seen a number of recent accusations of sexual assault in political contexts, like the one being discussed here, where the supposed victim turned out to be lying.

It does seem somewhat unlikely that a college girl would be raped twice within 2 years in college by people she knew and (a) not report either crime to the police, (b) repeatedly put herself in circumstances where the kind of behavior she alleges would have occurred, and (c) decide to report the second alleged rape now, in a political context.

The recent accusations of sexual assaults employed as a tactic in political disputes unfortunately reflect badly on everyone making similar accusations. In some cases those people really are victims, and for them the pain and suffering is magnified since their claims are discounted. They are sadly paying the price for the actions of the fake accusers whose goals are political in nature.
