I am very troubled by your line of thinking.

My line of thinking is simply that young women need to be very, careful about saying "yes," because saying "no" later is likely to result in something unpleasant and perhaps criminal. I just hate seeing girls put themselves at risk; I think they should also avoid walking alone in high-crime areas, always wear a helmet when riding bicycles or motorcycles, and avoid other risky behaviors.

Women who are assaulted by strangers deserve to have those strangers caught, convicted and imprisoned, whether the assault is sexual in nature or not (it's violence against women, which is just plain wrong). Women who are assaulted by those they know deserve the same thing. But in the case of "date rape," this is unlikely to happen for the reasons I stated above. Their parents should tell them just that, so they're less likely to put themselves at risk.

And for any young women reading this, if you think the young guy you're with can stop his sexual pursuit of you immediately when you say "no," after you've given him lots of signals saying "yes," you're most probably wrong. (The older we men get, the better we usually get at control.) If you don't like that, I'm sorry, but wishing otherwise won't change anything.

I agree with you. I was not trying to say that this woman is telling the truth and that Jameis is a predator. None of us here know what is really going on with the investigation and we certainly don't now what happened almost a year ago.

Just like rape has the potential to ruin lives, so does being falsely accused. It is my hope that if there was a crime committed, be it rape OR making a false report, justice will be served. It sickens me to know that a woman would lie about something as painful and agonizing as a sexual assault for revenge, pity, attention? I don't know. What I do know is that false reports have cast a nasty shadow of doubt over many women who were truly victimized.

Thanks for your kind words. It was liberating to talk about my experience.

Thanks for coming here and sharing; you're very courageous to do so.

When sex happens in privacy and the parties differ on whether it was consensual, reasonable doubt (for better or worse) usually dictates that the defendant must be found not guilty. Given this fact, unfortunately, I'm not sure the rape statistics cited by RAINN can reasonably be expected to change (at least as it relates to "rape" charged when the two parties know one another).

Not necessecarily true. There can be physical signs of rape.

Victim blaming. It is up to the woman not to get raped instead of the man not to rape? Get control of yourself, please.
