I didn't say I advocate non-reporting. I said that as things stand in my life right now, I probably would not report because it isn't worth what a victim has to go through.jh1 said:Here you are fervently speaking out against rape / molestation, yet you practically advocating, justifying and rationalizing not reporting legitimate assaults - because, OMG, you have to tell someone about it?
The fact that I am a man and most likey will never have to worry about that happening to me has nothing to to with it. Most women will never experience this either. As a man I am more likely to be the victim of a very violent crime, and you can bet your ass I would report it. That is part of reporting a crime - telling the story.. sometimes over and over and over and over - and yes, some people may be scepticle of your story. So what? That's part of it.
The people that question the stories of the fakes are the champions of the real victims, who's experiences of horror are dilluted by fakes that cry wolf. These are crimes that have to be prosecuted, the facts have to be discovered, these people have to ask the tough quesitons.
You should be advocating courage, not cowardess... that's just pathetic.
You should also hate the liars as much as the perpertrators.
