re: #536 Gus

Another adherent to the Akin legitimate rape nonsense.

Women lie about rape all the time, even though they’re far too often stigmatized and ostracized by law enforcement, their local communities, etc., for coming forward in the first place, especially when the victim identifies someone with power within that community.

Many women would rather live with never reporting the sexual assault than carrying the burdens of being a victim in those cases.

And this guy’s response is proof/reason enough that women don’t come forward and that rapes and sexual assaults are underreported.

If anything, the number of women who were assaulted by this guy may be on the low side.
