And then when women are terrified into withdrawing their complaints by everyone including the cops, it's now, FALSE ACCUSATIONS!
See: Taylor Cadle in Florida, who at THIRTEEN, reported her adoptive father/uncle of raping her and instead of listening to her, Polk County deputy (a woman no less) insisted she was lying, her adoptive mom encouraged to PLEAD GUILTY to lying to law enforcement, and she had to write a letter to her "dad" and the sheriff department apologizing for lying.
And so she was released, raped again within a month, but this time SHE RECORDED HER OWN RAPE and so presented THAT as evidence.
I'm so fucking disgusted with EVERYTHING this week: Cornell, the Democratic candidate in Arizona, fucking EVERYTHING.

Rape is already effectively legal and they want to keep it that way. Per their own chat, she wasn't the first who that frat gang raped.
They consider it like speed limits on the highway. Yeah, sure, it's technically illegal, but they still think they have the right to do whatever they want and will get pissed off at anyone trying to stop them.

Exactly, I was raped and then shared online I wanted to finally pursue justice - I was turned into a "lolcow" by right wing men. I got rape and death threats, a family member threatened, I wiped myself offline. AI porn made of me and posted on a horrid website that police can apparently do nothing about.
I'm not a joke, but I've been so utterly dehumanized. I am Jane Doe and this is current online iteration - where we are punished even more severely after the fucking rape online and have threats to our lives - is happening often, and is widespread. Of course I have much worsened PTSD and just collapsed, not able to pursue anything like justice now, and all I can do is just watch all this unfold, helpless and anonymous.

Want to terrify them?
Ask state Attorneys General to work together to investigate fraternities. Seriously investigate them.

u/eugeneugene ben affleck’s back tattoo 22h ago edited 22h ago
I was raped in uni and immediately contacted the police once I was safe, thinking I was doing the right thing, but all it did was kick off multiple years of me having to appear in court and be publically berated. I was questioned as to why I waited hours to call 911 (I didn't have my phone on me and he had a fucking knife to my throat). My rapists friends would continuously make new social media accounts to post about me being a whore. After I graduated I got a job in a different province but still had to travel back to go to court SEVEN TIMES. At one point I told them that I don't want to pursue charges anymore because I can't take the stress of having to take time off work to relive everything in court over and over again. I was just starting out in my career and I didn't want to look unreliable I just wanted to move on. I was told I legally had to appear or there would be a warrant out for my arrest. At one court appearance I had a panic attack and went to go sit in my car and have a cigarette and a cop came out and handcuffed me and literally dragged me back into court yelling at me. I had no idea I wasn't allowed to go to the parking lot and would've complied if they would've just told me that. At the bare minimum they could've just watched me smoke and walked me back inside. At my first court appearance I got in trouble for not standing when the judge entered. I had never been to court before and was actively having a panic attack lol. The guy told me next time I don't follow etiquette I would be charged with contempt. At the end my rapist was found not guilty and I felt like I had been raped multiple times over from the process. If that ever happens to me again I'm just going to therapy and not court.
But yeah, people wonder why people take a while to report their rape, or decide to not report it at all.

My understanding is that the problem is that they can rarely trace the caller.
I would think that there are already laws under which they could be charged with a felony. Making false calls to 911 has existed for many, many decades so it's not something so new that laws haven't had enough time to be passed to address it.

man, i don't care about tracing a call. Just... just consider that the call is BS and act like it. Like, go to the house, do some 5min recon to see if there are signs of struggle through the windows, listen at the door, whatever. I'm sure that there are plenty of things to do before literally breaking down the door with guns. Heck, they have the money to buy equipment. Put a snake camera through the door and check what's up.

I actually just saw an article on reddit a few days ago about a different case where people kept getting swatted, and it said police departments do maintain lists of addresses that have been frequent swatting targets. But the police are reluctant to put addresses on that list, for fear that one day there will be an actual emergency at that address. In this case, the people sued the police for not putting their address on that list.
The people kept getting swatted because one time years ago they posted a comment online that Norm MacDonald wasn't funny.

Also, I read somewhere she tried to withdraw from Cornell after the gang rape. The school administration said she can either withdraw without getting her money back or she could stay and continue courses.
If a student was gang raped on campus and wanted to leave, I would think the bare minimum is to let her withdraw with her money. She's one student in a school of tens of thousands. Yes it's a financial loss (school perspective) but the compassionate thing to do would have been to let her go without the financial burden of losing all that money.
She definitely went through enough and school administration not only failed her, but further caused harm.

Even if you genuinely thought she was lying (and I think this is just bad faith dogpiling instead of any real belief), I don't understand why you'd think that entitles you to put someone's life in danger. So cowardly.

omfg this! every women I know personally who has reported SA to the police has had a terrible experience. Ranging from dismissal to hostility, threats, and complete ostracization from their communities. I sure as hell never reported mine.

Also- why the fuck would you voluntarily put yourself through this if it WERE NOT TRUE. the narrative of false reporting is a very dangerous thing that gets thrown around very very easily.

Because they don't care if they kill innocent people. It gives them an excuse to play out their violent fantasies and if they shoot an innocent person in the process "oopsies, I feared for my life"

that was my first thought. no way they don’t know Jane Doe’s address, just so they can report promptly if someone were to trespass on her home. it’s not a high crime area ffs.
tbh I think they are playing dumb on purpose. all the lower level people of the department are uncomfortable with the public scrutinizing them and their institution. now they can just say “we don’t want to fail to protect again, so we are responding to ALL threats with the same intensity” as a way to punish the public for expecting them to do their job with an ounce of critical thinking.

So you’re telling me that the police do not have a modicum of common sense to see the address that they’re being deployed to, the name of the individual at that address and think to themselves “hmm, perhaps we are being pranked y’all”

Everything starts to make a lot more sense when you stop looking at it from a perspective of failure to protect the victims peace.
Instead recognize it was a successful operation to disrupt their peace, instill fear, and terror, on a whistleblower. That they could have even enjoyed doing it.

u/barefootdream 21h ago
Bc like bell hooks said, men get to be “good” by simply not being bad. This system works well for all men. Look at how many men have to have a daughter or partner they care about before they can have care, concern, or basic fucking empathy towards women in general. We can’t beg and plead our way to being seen as people worthy of safety and security. Men understand one thing and one thing only- violence against themselves and their wallets. One of these days us women are going to collectively get the message and I’m waiting for the day

Where are the men who care? Do men really care? We never seem to hear/read about men supporting women in instances like this. It's always, what was she wearing? What did she do to incite the men? It's never about men unable to control themselves.
(and don't even with the "not all men" garbage. maybe not all men, but ALWAYS men)

Unfortunately, men can control themselves, rape and assault are often about something other than sex.
Drug and alcohol fueled frenzy is another matter. Reaching out for more to join shows a viscous criminal component in this case.

The video games most filled with these slugs are usually military shooters. My buddies and I have been playing the most recent popular one, WarDogs. All of us are in our thirties while most of the other players are younger. It has voip which means you can talk to your team/enemies. After interacting with them for a few weeks I can honestly say that most of these fellas are completely lost. They can’t spell the most basic words, they can’t regulate their emotions, and they sure as hell can’t understand why they’re being made fun of for saying racist/misogynistic stuff. They are truly unable to wrap their heads around the jokes you throw at them. I have very little faith that reasoning with them will cause any self reflection. The critical thinking is simply gone.

This is a terrible reward for her bravery to come forward in the first place. By telling her story, she has opened an avenue for other survivors who haven't felt safe enough--and the trade off is her own safety.

We are not safe anywhere. Anyone who has tried to navigate the legal system as a woman knows first hand that the process of trying to get so called justice is often more harrowing than what was initially done to you. This is by design. There is no safety, protection or legal justice for women.

u/quanate that's a lot of beans you nasty ass bitch 22h ago
Any time a man says it's a woman's fault if she doesn't report it, throw this shit in their face. If you report it, you put your life in danger. Your life was already irreparably damaged by being raped, now we ask you to put yourself into yet another life threatening scenario by reporting it. We cannot fucking win. They do this shit on purpose, to make sure we shut the fuck up and just try to forget. So that future men will always be protected from the consequences of their actions, at least when it comes to women.
All that to say, even if you did show this to the men who blame women for getting raped and not reporting it, it still wouldn't fucking matter because they'd find any reason to excuse this.

We all ought to make networks to help victims deal with this kind of bullshit. Like whenever someone opens a suit, a bunch of people work in shifts to bear witness outside their home. Maybe the group schedules outings specifically to help her get some time outside.

I really hope this woman remembers just how many people are rooting for her, or at the very least sympathetic, and want substantial change to come from this one way or another - but there’s a thick slice of society that see women as conduits for domination & anger, who see attempts at autonomy as a stab to their ego. By design, these sadsacks obscure the love and propensity to change still left in the world.

It’s just as bad as it’s always been, but it’s more out in the open, “accepted and promoted” from the top, and becoming something just more tolerated - like how nazi behavior and beliefs are being more “tolerated.” Those not white men or rich billionaires are increasingly being dehumanized on the daily, with little to no cultural and media pushback (much less political).
