I’d like to remind everyone of False Memory Syndrome. Sometimes, a lot of harm can come from a person who testifies about an entirely different, confounding variable.
@Blondesjon That quote is DeMause’s opinion, it’s not necessarily fact. It’s like me quoting aristotle saying that there are 4 elements. It’s not true, but it’s what everyone believes. The mind is extremely complex, I doubt DeMause singlehandedly tackled the subject with that single sentence.
@srmorgan I fully agree. The justice system is flawed in the sense that the courts say that rape = penetration. It should say that rape = forced sex.
@Lupin I completely agree. A lot of the time, it’s not the “rapist’s” fault.
@Blondesjon If the victim decides the fate of the incident, some girl could just make up a story and get her ex who broke up with her unfairly to go to jail for life.
