"Rape Culture" Hysteria Criminalizes Heterosexuality
November 22, 2015
As the clenched fist shows, the rape culture claim is part of the Masonic Jewish (Satanic Communist) program to pathologize heterosexuality and make homosexuality the healthy norm. (Ultimately the family will become obsolete; the State will take over reproduction and socialization.)
"Affirmative consent" legislation criminalizes heterosexual intercourse. (You can bet that gay rapes will be excluded.)
Wendy McElroy shines light on this lesser known front in the satanist war on society.
The NWO is occult, nothing less than establishing the rule of Satan.
The consent can be verbal, but this could be dangerous. What happens if a willing partner later becomes vengeful or regretful?
Any man who fails to meet a woman's expectations can be charged with rape and imprisoned.

The term "rape culture" refers to attitudes... that allegedly normalize sexual violence against women including rape. America is called a "rape culture" because women supposedly live in constant danger from all men.
The threat occurs on a scale ranging from sexual glances to physical rape. That so few are aware of it only points to its omnipresence; that is, the rape culture is supposed to be as common as air and taken as much for granted.
The solution proposed by PC feminists is to change the fundamental basis of society with regard to gender, sexuality, and power. Institutions such as law, religion, and the educational system must be reconstructed to remove the alleged danger and discrimination inherent in being a woman today.
Of course, this requires extensive action by the state. For instance, PC feminists are trying to use the dubious legal doctrine of "affirmative consent" to on post-secondary campuses.
AFFIRMATIVE CONSENT: TALMUDIC INTRUSION INTO OUT PRIVATE LIVES
Affirmative consent is intended to replace the current standard of "no means no" with "yes means yes." ... The person initiating sex must receive explicit consent before and throughout the sex act... or he becomes vulnerable to being criminally charged.
The consent can be verbal, but this could be dangerous. What happens if a willing partner later becomes vengeful or regretful, or seeks an advantage such as a favorable divorce settlement? The man could face a "he said/she said" scenario in hearings or courts that are often biased in favor of female "victims". To be safe, therefore, the man must get not only explicit consent but also provable consent. An example would be to get consent in writing.
No one excuses genuine rape or sexual assault. As a woman who has experienced both, I would never dismiss the pain of a victim or the need to bring a perpetrator to justice. Affirmative consent will not help with either of these concerns.
RAPE ON THE DECLINE
Rape culture is a particularly vicious lie because it brands all men as rapists or rape facilitators. In January 2014, the White House Council on Women and Girls stated that, "1 in 5 women has been sexually assaulted while in college". They included every accusation as true. Since then, the "1 in 5" statistic ...has been used as proof that we live in a rape culture.
The truth: the rate of rape has fallen sharply since 1979. In March 2013, the U.S. Department of Justice reported, "From 1995 to 2005, the total rate of sexual violence committed against U.S. female residents age 12 or older declined 64% from a peak of 5.0 per 1,000 females in 1995 to 1.8 per 1,000 females in 2005 . It then remained unchanged from 2005 to 2010. Sexual violence against females includes completed, attempted, or threatened rape or sexual assault. In 2010, females nationwide experienced about 270,000 rape or sexual assault victimizations compared to about 556,000 in 1995."
The inflated numbers often cited by affirmative-consent advocates also arise because they ignore or downplay the problem of false or mistaken accusations. In her article "Memo to VP Biden: Male Rapists Are Not Lurking on Every Campus Corner," author Suzanne Venker points out that "three peer-reviewed studies have found the rate of false accusations of rape to range from 41% to 60%."
Affirmative consent may also increase confusion and honest mistakes. How? Even if a man dates a woman or is married to her, unless explicit consent is present each time, a rape could still legally occur. It could also occur if explicit consent is present at first but withdrawn during the act itself. In fact, a measure proposed in California would establish this precedent.
Such measures also embed a de facto double standard in law and policies. Consider just one scenario. Two drunken people have sex; legally speaking, this means neither is able to consent. As it stands, a drunken woman is likely to be considered a rape victim and not responsible for her actions; a drunken man is likely to be considered a rapist who is responsible for the actions of both. This vicious double standard has no place in justice or in an honest dialogue. What about due process for men?
TOTALITARIAN LEGAL WEB
Affirmative consent is trying to find a foothold on campuses through means other than legislation as well.
In April 2011, the U.S. Department of Education's (DED) Office for Civil Rights demanded universities comply with new standards on sexual assault if they wish to receive federal funds. (Almost every institute of higher learning in America receives federal funds.) The DED also greatly reduced the due process of an accused, depriving him of legal protections such as the presence of council and the right to cross-examine an accuser. Current DED sexual-assault policy includes no requirement that a "victim" get an examination, which means guilt can also be adjudicated with no medical or DNA evidence.
Instead of using the legal standard of "beyond a reasonable doubt," the DED letter requires college hearings to use the standard known as "a preponderance of evidence"; that is, a 50.01% likelihood of guilt or innocence. This is the standard used by civil rather than criminal courts. Male students can be found guilty of rape by using the same standard of evidence employed by traffic courts when they adjudicate parking tickets.
Even on the brink of graduating, the accused can be expelled and refused the degree that he may need to obtain a license for the career for which he has trained. With a permanent stain on his record, other universities are not likely to admit him. Few employers are likely to hire him.
Males should not be stripped of due-process rights, on campus or in courts. They must be presumed innocent until proven guilty; they must be allowed to face their accusers in the company of counsel. And the accusation of rape needs to be judged by a standard of "beyond a reasonable doubt."
No one should have to relinquish their constitutional rights in order to get an education.

Cartwright- Gender Chaos is Driving the Young Insane
DB said (November 24, 2015):
Women who bear false witness ought be thrown in prison and have done to their own lives that which they did to their victim. Lose their jobs etc... Why is it years later ( if discovered at all) the woman who lied and destroyed lives gets off scot free? ( I think I know why- it serves the mechanical dialectical of divide and conquer, in tandem with the mental illness of feminism. It serves their agenda. So these tools, these infantile weapons get a free pass. And that is UNJUST!)
I am a woman, and it sickens me that there do exist women of such lack of character. The only time anyone ought cry rape is if she actually is raped. Period! The liars undermine both the rights of innocent men, and the rights of women who suffered actual rape. The whole dynamic is a rape of justice. Those who want to take passive aggressive revenge upon others are sick individuals who's actions ought be considered CRIMINAL.And it is they who ought to suffer the CONSEQUENCES of their deceitful acts! Besides IMO, they owe these men reparation. We really do need to return to natural law principles. The system that we have now is diseased. If it were sane or healthy, none of this evil would be allowed to take place and the truly guilty would get their consequences!
