in the movie Law Abiding Citizen, Jamie fox's character told Gerrard Butler's character Its not what you know, its what you can prove in court

I think rape is a very sensitive issue that's very hard to prove in court provided both the accused and the plaintiff have the same level of legal backing

The stigma attached to being raped is pretty bad in a place like Nigeria. Most men don't want to date let alone marry a girl who's accused a man of rape before, that he was eventually found guilty is inconsequential, I'll avoid such girls too unless I'm very sure such a girl was raped for real and a court ruling won't cut it for me I'm afraid since my faith in our justice system is pretty low

Most rape usually involve someone the victim trusts. The idea of rape the movies show us of a woman walking in a dark alley and getting jumped by a sunglass wearing meth addicts brandishing weapons and ordering the girl to cooperate or be killed are very very rare
Most rape cases involve a friend, family members, family friends, boyfriend, colleagues etc which hands all the disadvantages to the victim as her emotional side may take over cuz she might actually be trying to protect the suspect
These are some of the reasons rape victims usually just get on with their lives like nothing happened and hope to get over it with time

Back to your question, What's the solution? TBH its a very difficult question to give a straight answer to but I'd recommend women who are seeing signs that a man could possibly force them and they can't avoid contact with such a woman should hit the sound recorder on their phone whenever they're with such "men" and try to get as much evidence as they can cuz rape is not an easy thing to prove
And the end of the day, after all
the sermon you have no idea what the solution is.. grin

are accused usually condemned by default in Nigeria? forgive my ignorance
This answer is starkly unreconcilable with the question. The question is, how do we solve this?

And highlighted condemning the accused by default as an option.

Asking me if the accused are usually condemned by default in Nigeria is non sequitor to my question and unfortunately does not follow.

So I ask again.

How do we solve this?

Rapists must be punished, we must also be careful not to punish the innocent.

So his do we solve this?

hopefulLandlord:
What!!!!!!

"Tear and Sperm"? what does that do exactly? all it proves is that he had sex with you, nothing more!!!

Tear does happen during normal sex, Tear may not happen during rape

The only way this can "prove" (to a reasonable extent) rape is if he denied and kept denying having sex with you in the first place but most rape cases usually involves the accused claiming the sex was consensual while the accuser says its not
This doesn't still proffer a solution to the problem.

How do we solve this?

Condemn the accused by default?
Christianity EtcRe: Can You Prove God Exists Without Quoting The Bible? by johnydon22(m): 11:43am On Jan 30, 2018
JMAN05:
There must be.
See you are not even getting it

Why?

Under what principle is this conclusion based.

The bang could not come from something visible.
How did we arrive at this?

Again

Does invisibility connote unnatural?

The result of the bang points to an intelligent cause.
Moon craters also points to intelligent cause due to geometrical projections but it's causes is far fromit.

This doesn't prove the existence of the xten God. But it at least points to an invisible and intelligent cause.
How?

On which cosmological principle is this conclusion hinged. How did we get from point A to "then there must have been an invisible intelligence"?

So a belief in a supernatural cause isn't unreasonable.
You have been grossly insufficient to explain its reasonability

Since science can't experiment the supernatural, they should not think there is no God who could cause the bang.
Since we have no way to know supernatural truly is, to assume is to be unreasonable because this assumption would be purely imagined.

So the best answer remains " You have no idea"

Not assume the supernatural must exists because science cannot verify.

I can then also propose an even bigger hypernatural that precedes and caused the supernatural.

And then also assume a bihypernatural plain that caused the hypernatural.

See?

That is the problem with argument from ignorance and assumption to fill the gap clutch.

You can always assume something else or the whole argument would collapse on itself.

Lol. Those women in the west are becoming crazy. They've turned feminism into a bitter campaign against the male gender. Their feminism is full-blown MISANDRY! God help Western men. grin
Third wave feminsim have been the biggest weapon against feminsim. it has completely blurred the line between feminism and misandry that both are no longer inseparable.

Hahaha. I think women should do same. It'll make it easier to prove rape cases.
One of the implications of this is that Male employers no longer employ female job seekers out of fear of getting their careers ruined. The relationship between men and women have been severed so much that i fear it will get worse.

The worst part is: Third wave feminism rides on the back of women being victims so even when there is no such case, they create one. Just take the women in those videos for example.

These two will still come and chant #MeToo

it has revealed the feminists obsession with victimhood that ironically they mistake as empowerment

AnonyNymous:
If a girl is raped. . . an examination by a doctor can easily tell if its done immediately after the abuser is done. The person you're quoting isn't very intelligent.

A lot of girls also don't know the difference between sexual harassment and rape.

And, a lot of girls (especially in the West) also lie a lot about sexual harassment. Here's a video of a crazy feminist telling a man he's "harassing her" because he said 'hello' while going about his business.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c07k33O4aAU

This one is even worse. I find this one particularly funny, especially because of the guy's reaction. The funniest part is that she recorded it herself, and originally shared it as 'evidence', only for her to get backlash/people reuploading it making fun of her.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MVyQNNFobA

If I ever have to work where I will be alone with a woman, I MUST make sure I am either recording/taking pictures throughout the time spent. If it means installing cameras in my car or spending money on a wristwatch that can record videos, so be it.
it is becoming absurd, the videos shows just how demented some girls have gone. Third wave feminism have somehow cultivated a victims culture. Women are made to see themselves as perpetual victims of some form of male induced oppression.

And the irony is that these women with these toxic ideas fight and argue they are not weak or vulnerable at the same time use the victim, weak and vulnerable card to their advantage.

The victims culture is running too deep now, every woman now is a victim of the most absurd offenses conceivable.

Have you heard of the term "Reverse rape"? if a woman wants to have sex with a man and he refuses then he is guilty of reverse rape. he used his advantage as the stronger individual to deny her what she wants.

it is getting just too absurd

i fail to see the logic behind an empowerment that makes women see themselves as perpetual victims and men as vindictive monstrous beings that always mean ill against women.

I'm surprised too. The way he said it as if anybody believes rape victims in the first place or takes them seriously?
Oh they are believed in most cases, we get to see some of these cases of conviction and even jungle justice on rapist almost daily on Nairaland front page.

And moreover rape enabling is disgusting and we are all well against that, blaming the victim also is a disgusting act that we all condemn but this mustn't be mistaken with asking the right questions in a bid to scrutinize a case.

They even start attacking the victim, why did you go here, why did you wear this, stupid asinine questions that make me feel like slapping hell out of them
Who are they?

A time is coming? Which time? Time we are already living in?
No you are not. Simply walk outside, grab any random man and shout he raped you and watch him get mobbed or even lynched to death. People are more likely to believe your story and sympathize with you.

That is just a little demonstration to test the validity of this claim.

A woman or man who says he or she was raped isn't believed and in some cases is even insulted,

Is it not the same victim blaming Nigeria again? huh
Wrong again. Is it not this same Nigeria that we see rapists and alleged rapists almost getting lynched to death, let us not treat this like a one faced knife. It is not.


Let everybody tell their story, provide evidence, go to court,
If the guy actually raped the girl then he goes to jail,
It should be taken seriously, any one found guilty should go to jail, I also recommend castration,
100% agreed

If the girl is lying she goes to jail, by the time many fools that will want to try it see the number of people in jail for false rape accusations they'll think twice and also the Man's name must be cleared.
Equal punishment. I agree again

Rape is not a joke nor something to be thrown around when it's not true.
Sexual violence is a heinous thing and we must always condemn perpetrators or enablers. Women who label innocent men rapists just because they want to win a disagreement are violent, vile human beings too & we must condemn them too.

[color=Blue] And finally, a time should never ever come whereby no one should believe rape accusations. What!!!?

Why is it that any thing stupid some women do is used as ammo to try and attack all women?, What kind of threat is that? No one will believe any woman? undecided
Wrong conception of an argument stemming from hasty conclusion. The post in no way condemns or blames all women, an implication of an action is not condemnation.

from the post
This will be very unfortunate as it will be unfair to actual rape victims.

the post highlighted possible implications of using rape accusations as a weapon to get back at someone


If it's you men they attack with this kind of nonsense, you all will rush to type it's not all men, remember your father and all the rubbish,
Non sequitor stemming from your own misrepresentation or misunderstanding of the argument
Mtchewww, you men feel so special in this country,
Oh No we don't. There is no right that i have that you don't in the constitution

Instead of addressing the problem of rape and false accusations of rape and looking for solutions, you're giving ridiculous threats, trash.
Again another gross misrepresentation and understanding: highlighting implications of a line of action is not a threat.

If humanity continues making nuclear weapons a time will come when we will destroy civilization. This is not a threat.

Learn the difference between a threat and highlight of possible consequence

Whether you believe or not is not needed, all you need to do is make sure the case is taken to court and make sure the truth comes out,
Whoever is lying should be punished, either the man or woman,
We agree again

Not sitting there trying to take laws into your own hands, typing ridiculous threats like "it will get to a time no one will believe rape accusations from women". [/color]
You have no idea what it means to threaten someone

I do believe rape has an objective definition

back to the example you cited in your post you are trying to imply that the lady saying the taxify driver tired to rape her was deliberately lying. well if a man drives me to an unknown location and tries to dragged me out the first thing that would come to my mind is that he wants to rape me.
Can we then infer she was a ritualist because this was the driver's presumption from her refusal to get down from the car and the incessant calls bearing their location?

I agree they may have both misunderstood each other's action but I don't believe she simply made the story up.

Nobody believes rape victims and giving reasons for her rape is a contradiction.

If people blame the victims of rape then they believe they were raped if they don't believe they were raped why would they give reasons why they were raped.

RomanceRe: 7 Reasons Why I'll Always Collect Money After Sex. by johnydon22(m): 11:39pm On Jan 26, 2018
Jamariwolf4:
3 minutes read.

So a female romancelander opened a thread this evening, and as usual, the brokers started shouting and calling her ashawo etcetera.

Well imma be honest with you: I collect money after sex, and that ain't ending anytime soon.

I AM NOT A OLOSHO OR PROSTITUTE.
You clearly have no idea the definition of those words

I work for my money, but you must still pay me.
Why?

because sex is what a man does to a woman or what two consenting adults decide to do to each other?

You have a very gross absurd and convoluted view of life, it is no surprise how you came up with this nonsensical opinion or reasons as you call them.

Take note and read carefully before you start insulting all the females (gone, alive, and yet to be born) in your family
Nope this is all on you.

Reasons why I'll always collect money after sex
1. Sex is difficult :
Oh yeah, it is! But you wouldn't know, would you? When you're just dicking down and going, you take 90% pleasure and me takes 10%.
In my sexually active years, I can count with one hand the number of sex I actually really enjoyed.
If fellow females won't be honest,
You can ask bobrisky and other faqqots who take dicks up their orifice, the receiver passes through pains!!
If this is your experience with sex then please do one of these:

*Change your partners
*Medical check up
*Lubes
*Try to key into the whole thing and not see it as doing the man a favour. be part of it and you might just enjoy it as you should

2. I'm a woman with needs:
I mean, I need to take a hot bath, change into something Hanes and eat good food, so pay up.
Then work for your needs or are you going to pay him for his needs? or he doesnt or isnt allowed to have any?

Oh please...

if you don't have a job and this is how you carter for you needs then it still nullifies your plea to be exempted from the P word class

Again define prostitute?

3. I'll get slut shamed anyway :
How many of y'all can swear on your life that you haven't bragged to your guys how you nailed that 'hoe'
Why not be a complete slut when I know I will still be tagged one, whether I collect cash or not?
Yeah like girls don't discuss their sexual encounters and even dick size amongst peers. WTF is wrong with these entitled girls?

At this point i am already battling hard to hold my peace and not use an M word

4. Did you expect to leave like that?
So if i didn't ask, you'll just go?
Smh!!!!
No. i expect you'd pay me

5. It's the right thing to do:
Before you type that trash, remember your Bible or quran condemns Fornication. If you can't pay my bills, find some cheap young naive bitch.
The bible and Quran condemns fornication and then you recommend they pay after it? condemned both biblically and oloshilically by demanding payment for a mutual act that is not a business agreement.

Mother of God!!!

6. It's a man's world:
Women have no say or opinion, right?
Well, in bed, we do!
Which planet is this girl from?

Obviously not earth

7. I'd never fück a fuckboy ever :
I'll soon open a thread on how to identify fvckboys, but in details, they want to eat without giving anything in return. I can smell their stench from miles and I activate my ignore button, so I don't need to argue for money like a prostitute after sex.
This is not a reason, this is more like a statement of choice.. I wonder what it is doing on the list. you ran out of reasons and then went like "i'd never do this"

how is this even important to the premise of your argument?

Real men pay up without you asking
Nope far from it. There is no such a thing as real men and only sex starved men or men without much options patronize sex workers.


whether you decide to go au naturel or sans naturel, pls pay your woman and treat her with respect.
Thanks.
Pay her and treat her with respect in one sentence.

at this point i cannot hold it anymore, you are Mor_on....

1. respect is earned not installed by default in a vagina
2. Paying for a service entitles the seller to no further requirements (If you receive payment for your service, what other thing do you think you deserve from the buyer?)
3. You are a catastrophe to men and women relationship..
4. bag of contradiction.

While we think about these things, one should realize in a court of law, its mostly never about the truth... But about who has a better lawyer and can prove his/her case.

There are also tons of real rape cases where the perpetrators got away because they had better lawyers or had some sort of influence. While this shouldn't deter anyone, we should look at things from every point of view.

Whether we like it or not, we just have to accept the fact that these things will happen.

People will get molested, whether male or female and people will also get falsely accused.

CrimeWomen Should Be Careful With The Rape Card by johnydon22(op): 9:43pm On Jan 26, 2018
As a young growing boy i remember having similar conversations with my friends, we usually remarked to ourselves how a woman you have never seen before could walk up to you anywhere and accuse you of raping her and people would believe.

we all know this to be true.

It is your words against hers and who do you think they would believe?
We grew up with this fear knowing fully well that it was a huge possibility.

Then, rape was a serious matter. women didn't bank on this seeming victim's power, rape accusations were reserved for actual cases.
Today. we are seeing a dangerous change, the rape weapon is becoming overused and this i argue will affect women negatively

The recent trends of popular culture and cultivating a form of victim's culture for women is something women should thread carefully with or it is literally going to blow up in their faces.
Once a woman accuses a man of rape he is guilty by default. this is the next possible assumption.

So many men have been destroyed by this, so many careers marred by this and many serving jail terms even though innocent.
This article is inspired by the recent higgy hagga on going between a taxify driver and an actress.
I watched the video, i gave as much consideration to each side as much as i can.

This wasn't a rape case and anyone who watches that video and judges with an objective mind must see this.
Rape accusation was the weapon.
None the less i am not here to discuss this incident, twitter is doing much of that already.

I am here to address this overly popular victim's culture women are cultivating and the negative implications it will have on women everywhere. With the number of false accusations flying around, the number of innocent men marred by these false accusation and a seeming utilization of the rape victim card for personal clap backs will have severe negative consequences on the women folk.

A time will come when no one will believe a rape accusation from a woman owing to the fact that many are coming to terms that many women use this as a weapon just to get back at a man.

This will be very unfortunate as it will be unfair to actual rape victims.

Someone isn't guilty simply because you said so.

We should objectively investigate these matters because serious issues must be met with equally serious objectivity.
