RAPE Awareness Week has
come and gone. Rape Crisis has again shown the specious thinking underlying
its beliefs about rape through its "date rape" theme. Rape Crisis has merged
the issues of recent and historical claims of rape, and foisted upon us the
new hysteria of "date rape". "Date rape"
turns on the issue of consent. Women who have willingly indulged in sex with
their dates sometimes regret it and later cry rape, claiming that consent was
not given. Such claims also have a high probability of being false. The claim
by Rape Crisis and others that "false allegations of rape are very, very
rare" is irresponsible. As only women
apparently have rights, it is, they say, a man's responsibility to ensure he
obtains consent to sexual activity. Rape Crisis should issue books of
"consent forms" to all men, to be signed by women at each stage of
the proceedings. Oh, what fun |
