It appears that the concept of PC Feminism evolved out of, or is an umbrella term that describes, a combination of various factions of feminism, such as Affirmative-Action Feminism, Gender-Feminism, Hegemonic Feminism, Pop-Feminism, Post-Modernist Feminism, Radical-Feminism, Survivor-Feminism, Total Rej (total rejection) Feminism, and Victim Feminism, in short, any and all forms of feminism that elevate women to the status of a superior class of citizens and relegate men and boys to the category “sub-human”.

Therefore, PC Feminism not only promotes superior status, rights and privileges for women but makes all-out discrimination against men and boys politically correct and desirable.

From the website of the Family of Men Support Society:

“NO MEN ALLOWED”
Misandry at the government level (City of Calgary , Province of Alberta , Government of Canada ) and at community level agencies.

No Men Allowed to participate at any meetings, therefore male victims of female-perpetrated domestic violence are denied a voice.

The system is autocratic, exclusive & misandrist.

The system is not democratic, inclusive or open minded.

Just about every day I find in our in-box several e-mail messages with link-exchange requests by organizations who wish to advertise the services of lawyers and law firms, at the website of Fathers for Life, for free, so that they can explore and exploit untapped market potential and opportunities.

The legal industry saturated the market and is limited only by the capability of potential legal clients to pay for legal services.  Although until not all that long ago the legal profession was a growth industry and primarily divorce and related litigation still is a fertile and lucrative feeding ground for established members of the legal profession, new, young lawyers entering the market find that the road to success is a steep one to climb, that the going is hard, and that it is becoming increasingly more difficult to succeed with recovering even their initial capital outlay and the debts they incurred to be able to set out on the road to the more and more elusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Today I received a request by LexisNexis, the provider of [legal library services and pointers to legal help (2011 03 09 –WHS)].  It is not a link-exchange request, not at first glance, for which reason I did not dismiss it out of hand but responded to it.  Here it is (and my response):

Hi,

I am reaching out to you on behalf of LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell regarding the following page: http://fathersforlife.org/fatherhood/paternity_fraud_compensation.htm

LexisNexis has free educational resources to share with your school. We would like to provide you with a link so that your students can access this information.

Does this seem like something you would be interested in, or would you be able to put me in touch with someone that is responsible for adding resources and updates to the site?

I look forward to hearing back from you!

Thanks!

To which I responded:

Hello Jeanine,

Thanks for writing.  You have come to the right party.

It seems to me that I have an idea on what you intend to offer, but if it involves money for subscriptions to [legal libraries] or other legal services that will have to be purchased, then we cannot become involved.  Nor will we advertise any legal services, not as long as those services require subscription fees for those most in need of free access to those services.

Those in need would be expunged fathers whose wages have been garnished and whose professional and government-issued licences were cancelled or revoked, whereby they are deprived of any means to make a living and help them get out the hole hole feminist jurisprudence put them in, by preventing them even from being able to obtain legal assistance in the courts.

However, if you wrote to offer free access to [legal library] services to those in need of them, then all of the concerns I outlined would be unfounded.  I merely mentioned those concerns to possibly save you the trouble of having to write with further details of your offer and having me respond along the lines of the concerns outlined above.

My perceptions may be wrong (they were correct on prior occasions) and my misgivings could therefore be out of place.  In that case I apologize and will be willing to pay full attention to further details regarding your intentions in relation to how the website of Fathers for Life can become a better tool for the benefit of those in great need of it.

An aside: You did not identify how or why you searched the website of Fathers for Life to enable you to find the web page that comments on the circumstances of compensation for paternity fraud.  The results for such a search would be incomplete if they were not to include also web pages such as the one at http://fathersforlife.org/Sodhi/YWCA_2001.htm,  [The legal-library service]  Quicklaw is mentioned there, but the reference is not a link).

Many thanks to George Rolph for pointing me to this.

Man Woman & Myth

Truth, Lies and the War on Men

The website identified by the preceding link is one of the most important ones I have come across in decades.  It answers the concerns of many men’s and fathers rights activists who wrote to me over the years and expressed the wish for a video lectures series on men’s and fathers’ issues.

Well, the video project by Man Woman & Myth is the answer they sought and to which many of them through their efforts tried to contribute more or less successfully.

About the Video Project

The Project

A documentary series, 7 years in the making, exploring all aspects of male-female relations from a man’s point-of-view. Looks at the various reasons behind the negative treatment of men in Western society, including the root cause: Feminism.

Consists of 49 short films on Feminism, Misandry, Equality, Domestic Violence and Education as well as Family issues like Paternity Fraud, Fatherlessness and Reproductive Rights.

As of now I have only been able to quickly browse the website and looked at no more than a quick sample of the 49 videos that are available there.  I am amazed at what has been put together.

I will watch all of the videos in the coming weeks and try to give that top priority.  As I go along with that, I will report on what I find.  It is quite obvious already that not many words at the website are wasted and that all of them are intended to mean what they say.

The first lesson I learned is that the website owner means everything he states in his “Notes on the Video”.  Read all of the notes.  Just as there is no way you can take in all of what the 49 videos present without watching all of them, so you will not be able to successfully understand the problems you may encounter in downloading, file-sharing or watching the videos without reading all of the notes.

As of now, my first impression is, Wow! The Man Woman & Myth video project either used the website of Fathers for Life to develop its scripts or it took its guidance from some of the same sources that guided me and the contributors to Fathers for Life over the years.  The video-project leader quite rightly states:

As a result of years of feminised programming, any film like the ones found here will be a bit like a bucket of cold water in the face in terms of the presentation of what I see as basic reality. Many people will not be used to this degree of forthrightness and honesty and some may be a little shocked.

That is absolutely no exaggeration, at best an understatement, and it is no wonder.  Look at the individuals that were interviewed and whose views are being presented:

Principal Interviewees

• Angry Harry

Psychologist and prominent Men’s Rights activist, angryharry.com.

• Erin Pizzey

Author and Domestic Violence expert. Opened the world’s first domestic violence shelter in London and is a patron of the Mankind Initiative Men’s Charity. Author of the book “Prone to Violence”.

• Stephen Fitzgerald

Former Director and National Organiser of the Mankind Initiative Men’s Charity.

• Michele Elliott

Founder and Director of Kidscape, a children’s charity, and author of the book “Female Sexual Abuse of Children”.

• Oliver Curry

Evolutionary Psychologist at the London School of Economics and contributing author to Demos, the independent think tank and research institute.

• Professor Colin Francome

Professor Emeritus of Medical Sociology, Middlesex University. Author of the book “Improving Men’s Health”.

Alright.  That is all I can say for now.  I will be back about this and present more of my impressions as time goes on.   I hope that if you watch any of the videos, and you absolutely should, you will be able to post a comment here.

This discussion thread deserves input from many people, it seems, even though it will be difficult to figure out at this start of it where it may lead.

The title of the thread is taken from a message I received a couple of days ago from Stephen Hicks.  Let’s take the definition of the scope of this discussion from that title and try to stay within that.  Any comments that will stray too far from that will be considered to be off-topic.  We need a bit of focus on this, or else we will wind up expanding this discussion to include all and every aspect of human nature.  In general, the blog rules for Dads & Things will apply.

Dear fathersforlife:

I am working locally in Hawaii with my state representatives to change the laws so that men AND women share equal punishment for child sexual molestation, hence women enablermolesters.  Women for too long have felt “entitled” to the kids even after betraying them by either abusing them themselves or blaming their spouse without reporting it.  These women deserve prison and loss of custody of their children to foster care.  They have already betrayed their kids by not speaking up about abuse immediately and their kids will never trust them because of that.  I was abused at home and in the Boy Scouts (Eagle Scout, disabled veteran).  My sister was molested in the home and another relative was molested in the Boy Scouts.  My mother was an enablermolester and acts as though there was no harm no foul - stereotypical thinking by someone who is not facing twenty years in prison for 1st degree child sexual assault.

I have gotten feedback from veterans councelors that women also, are child molesters and physically beat their kids.

If you are able to correspond with me or if you have anything to share, please do.  I have a website: healingpleasuresmodule.com and blog as sterrers on twitter.com, wordpress.com, evolver.net and blogger.com

Sincerely,

Stephen Hicks

I responded 29/10/2010 6:55 PM

Hello Stephen,

Thanks for writing.

I know what you are writing about, having experienced some of it first-hand.

There are quite a few problems that will prevent effective exposure of the issue of sexual and physical abuse by women.  One of those is the inhibition instilled by ingrained western chivalry.  Men will not admit that women can be sexual abusers, and women, knowing better, will not leave their position of superiority and permit that position to be downgraded.  The other is that it is not enough to expose the truth, but it is also necessary to reach the masses and to convince them of what the truth is all about.  When you try to do the latter, the first inhibition immediately kicks into action.  The vast majority of people will not be able to undo thousands of years of indoctrination and social tradition: women are saints, need to be put on pedestals, worshiped and protected from all evil — even from themselves.

Indoctrinations that existed for as long as did civilization cannot be undone overnight and perhaps not even within one or two generations.

About bringing about laws that provide for equal punishment for men and women who commit crimes of equal severity, we have those laws already in place, except for some laws where, confronted with the reality that women are as likely to act criminally as men are (and in some cases far more so), the inevitable consequences, namely that women need to be punished as severely as men required first of all that women are also guilty of committing certain crimes.  You’ve got to be realistic about that.  The problem is with the application of those laws in an objective and equitable fashion.  There is again the obstacle of western chivalry which creates the mental and emotional disability to find women guilty or deserving of equal punishment, or, when those realities proves to be unavoidable, new categories of crimes for women need to be invented to have legal avenues that eliminate the need to treat women as fully equal to men.

A prime example of such a crime is child murder.  For men who commit child murder, there is no escape, no excuse and only the full punishment that the law demands.  For women who commit child murder there is the re-classification of the crime to the category infanticide, a category of which only women can and routinely avail themselves, with punishment very rarely requiring more than a nominal sentence, conditional incarceration, with full release in exchange for time already served before the trial, if any time was served at all.

The history of the contortions that society went through with rationalizing the necessary escape from the reality of women committing almost exactly 70 percent of all child murders (with men on the other hand committing about nine percent of those types of murders — with corresponding and comparable proportions of serious physical child abuse) was addressed in an article I wrote more than ten years ago: “Infanticide or “Post-natal Abortion“”.  The article contains quotes from a chapter of Patrica Pearson’s book, “When She Was Bad”.  You should have a good and careful look at that, so you will realize what needs to be overcome.

If that article is not enough to convince you of the existence of the windmills you attempt to tilt against, have a look at the results of a site-specific search for “infanticide” at our website.

That is the situation with respect to a problem that is well-established and has been proven throughout history.  The problem of exposing women’s guilt in cases of sexual child abuse they commit is far more difficult to overcome.  It has not ever been exposed to even a tiny fraction of the extent of child murders by women.  Men who as children experienced sexual abuse by women (most often by their mothers) will wave it off and at best perhaps claim that it was good for them, while women will refuse to admit that women can be human to such an extent that they can be as beastly or even more so than men can be.

What suggestions do you have for making a full exposure of the reality of that issue; not only that, but to get society to accept that it exists?  For one thing, to my knowledge the problem of child-sexual-abuse by women has not ever been formally researched.  I would welcome solid evidence to the contrary you can provide.

All the best,

Walter Schneider

On 29/10/2010 10:00 PM, Stephen Hicks responded to that:

Hello Mr. Schneider:

Thank you for a wonderful letter. I rushed to Google to find a Canadian statistics- based site that you are probably aware of: child-abuse-effects.com/female-sex-offenders.html  It is a real primer on all the issues you describe.  In Google there are multiple stats on Female Sex Offenders that I’m sure you are aware of.  And cases where wives were convicted or sex acts along with spouses.

My mother was “just doing her job!”  And she still feels she wouldn’t have done things any differently, that is, my step-father had he been caught would have done the time, and she would have retained custody as a teacher and devoted mother.  I lost trust in her and consider that she was an enablermolester although I’ve forgiven her.  Had their been a law to cover her “category of crime”, she would not have such a cavalier attitude about both her oldest kids being molested (I was also beaten up).  However my mother “trolled” for a professional spouse to have three more kids and that was her priority - she was abused also.

As you mention, most young children are killed by women (nearly 2000 in the U.S.last year).  They are young, poor and uneducated predominately.And you’re right, they aren’t considered dangerous murderers like men.

Genocide Laws have changed to include atrocities in War AND Peace-time.  There  is currently a United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (signed by South Africa and not by the U.S).  The U.S. has not signed on to the ICC, International Criminal Court of the UN last I checked.  In Hawaii twenty years ago a domestic abuse case would end up with the men arrested 99% of the time.  Now both are charged and arrested and they can’t drop their allegations.  Men used to do the time for most all drug-related crimes and now women are certainly catching up for lost ground.

I consider kids to be hostages in a child abuse home.  New category of crime - mayhem:  willful and permanent crippling or disfigurement of a person;  needless or willful damage.  There is a statute for mayhem in Hawaii.generally applied to spouses in lieu of aggravated assault.  In Hawaii the age of consent is 14 so coupled with a 35% rate of reporting for abuse, it’s no wonder the whole state has only 3,234 registered sex offenders.  Raising the age has fialed in the past (a cultural thing).

The Hawaii AG told me that of the 60 million kids 14 and under the DOJ Uniform Crime Reports lump them together with aggravated assault (nearly one million last year) rather than elaboating on the types of crime and the risk behavior.  This should change, as the average person doesn’t want to think about Church and Boy Scout abuse and certainly doesn’t consider their neighbors child abusers.  Emotional battering is physical abuse and could qualify as mayhem.  Accessory to child abuse is no different than accessory to murder.

You know the statistics on child abuse from your research and the emotional scars that are caused by parental figures, close relatives and close friends over the years.  They finally got Al Capone on tax evasion didn’t they?  Your idea of new categories of crimes coupled with creative sentencing have a lot of merit - I don’t have illusions about rapid changes in the system.  Millions are writing about their experiences for healing purposes and to leave a legacy of sorts to others.  Both my sister and I are in our late fifties and still healing - the step-father committed suicide in 1966.

My website is a famiily community service project of sorts, harping on the issues and guiding people to resource lists besides the government.  If women were charged with serious crimes related to child sexual molestation and beating and emotional battering, it would seriously affect the tax base of the United States.  The U.S. needs a Natiional Level Department of Childrens Affairs as our Department of Health and Human Services is spread out all over the place and doesn’t fund child welfare properly or truant officers for that matter (U.S. high school drop out rate of 30%, President Obama mentioned boostup.org)

I’ve received compliments for including your conservative site on my website and I was impressed with it and haven’t studied it.  I would love to have a better organized website but am a novice and my relatives are very busy (I am a disabled veteran and happy with life, knowing I can only do so much without being a glutton for punishment)

The issue of Man/Woman Hate is a good research project along with that of researching just how many children are molested by women.  I believe much aggravated assault is caused by women hating men for what they do to the children.  Women hate themselves AND what they allow to happen in the house.  And they definitely hate men.

You’ve given me a very good idea - all the facts are in Google, they haven’t been presented very well - piece-meal is not very convincing.  I don’t want to see every child abuser in prison, but they should pay a career price, a monetary damage and lose custody of their children at least.  Twenty years probation is a VERY difficult task in creative sentencing.  In Hawaii, 1st degree sexual assault of a child (no penetration alleged) mandates a twenty year prison term.  Quite often numerous crimes have been whittled down by a plea bargain to one count.

I’ll keep in touch, thanks for caring.

Sincerely,

Stephen Hicks

My response, 30/10/2010 10:15 AM

Hello Stephen,

Thanks for writing back.

There is much in your response that I agree with  (actually, everything except that Google is a good source for research on violence statistics), but some of it and of what I stated earlier requires more comments and input by others.

Would you agree that our exchange should be posted as a discussion thread at Dads & Things?  Unfortunately, few people make comments there.  I have no idea why that is.  Both our website and blog have plenty of visitors, but few people comment that they post to the blog.  I wish that it were different, and an exchange of ideas like the one we are having may be just the thing to get more people to offer their opinions.

On the other hand, I receive a fair number of e-mails  and phone calls from people who write to me and call about various topics, but that is a bit of a waste of time or, better, a certain amount of hiding the truth from many.  Our blog would help much more to spread the message, which, I once thought, would be a good reason for launching it, so that the discussion would be brought out into the open.

Sorry for not being able to get into more detail on any of this right now.  I will get back to it after I get back from our seniors club facilities, where I will have to do a bit of tidying up to get things ready for a group of people who will hold a memorial service there this afternoon.

I shall return to this later today.

All the best for now,

Walter

Subject: Appropriate laws and creative sentencing for female child sexual enablermolesters

Hello Mr. Schneider:

You are correct about Google, I was less than impressed.  I did find fathermag.com  female-offenders.com/bibliography.html  and crime.about.com/od/sex/ig/female-pedophiles/

You eloquently stated the basic female issue regarding the long-standing pattern of child abuse and I’m not in a position to do a scholarly study.  I can work locally with my representatives to pass legislation leading to fairness - as you point out when you say that the women don’t usually do the actual crime.  “I was just doing my job!” and accessory to 1st degree child sexual assault spanning years hold some weight and qualify for mayhem and hostage-taking and cruel and unusual punishment, however.

Kids definitely are hostages in a child abuse-mayhem household.  Now that most kids have cell phones, I’d like to see the child welfare hotline phone number on their ID Tags.

A large number of people really don’t want to deal with the issue but it affects every aspect of our society and it’s illegal, not morally wrong or a sign of weakness in character.

I think ten to twenty years probation and loss of custody of children would be a creative non Draconian punishment and momentous deterrent for scofflaw women that are enablermolesters.  I believe at least 5-10% of our sixty million children aged 14 and under are being sexually molested and/or beaten and emotionally abused, according to specific guidelines..  That’s a huge number.  There are only 390 women in prison in New York for child sexual abuse and about 9000 men.  More than half are back in prison within a couple of years following release.  Note:  recently in Hawaii a woman care-giver was given twenty years in prison for severe child abuse (her abuse was demonic).

Although I wasn’t too impressed with Google there was one study saying that there are 64,000 female child molesters in the United Kingdom (co.uk/society/2009/oct/o4/uk-female-child-sex-offenders).  China and India each have approximately 100 million unmarried men due to infanticide.

In a nation that spends $2.1 trillion plus on health care and $1.3 trillion plus on VA health care, we should go easy on emotional battering which leads to aggravated assault in adults and a whole set of issues for children.

On the lighter side, speaking of music besides youtube, you might try pandora.com, kaparadio.com (Hawaiian) or ananda.org (Hindu).  I’m in great health and my sister and I are looking 25 years ahead, we shall see!  (she’s a performance artist and professor at San Diego State University).

Sincerely,

Stephen Hicks

Any additional responses by Stephen, me or anyone else will be posted as comments to this discussion thread.  You will have to subscribe to this blog to be able to post comments.  That is necessary to prevent spam.  –Walter

Thompsons part 4: Every slope is a watercourse

When Matt and Janet first came to Western Australia they were told they could run a feedlot without regular licenses as long as they were not within 100m of a watercourse. It makes a big difference. If a farm is a category 68, it can run thousands of cattle (and many dairy farms do) without being licensed. This is the ongoing saga of how Big-Government can use complexity to play Kingmaker.

I didn’t think I’d ever find agricultural codes interesting, but by paying attention to the detail we can see just how powerful The Department of Environment (DEC) is, and how selective it can be. You would think it would be easy to measure off 100 m toward a waterway, but how do you define a waterway? You can I might expect that it would have banks, or that in a 100 year flood the water flowing in the gully might have a chance of reaching a body of water big enough to have a fish. Don’t apply for a job at DEC WA.

DEC has declared that Narrogin Beef Producers are a Category 1 property needing licenses because there are watercourses to the North of the feedlot, and to the South West. This picture below,  is a photo (slightly amended) of that paddock to the north in winter. Would you call this a watercourse?

A photo of the Northern “watercourse” of The Thompsons property. (Sign added).

This is the “watercourse” to the South West, a remnant waterway.

Thompsons South West “watercourse”

This is a dry gully visible in aerial shots in the south western edge of their property (see the map image below). There’s no running water in it, and there hasn’t been as long as the Thompsons have been there, and even in the event of a major flood, the gully leads to nowhere in particular. It doesn’t flow into anything. You can follow the tree line of these dry gullies in a google map and see that they eventually might meander into salt pans that are kilometers away….(Full Story)

Bad cop gets slap on wrist
Michele Mandel| QMI / Sun Media | Thursday, September 9, 2010

NEWMARKET - The York Region cop he blames for framing him and ruining his life stood before the police board and received a slap on the wrist.

For carrying on an affair with Sherry Major while investigating her claims of sexual assault against her estranged husband, Staff-Sgt. Terry Jordan was handed an 18-month demotion to sergeant Wednesday.

“This is a very unfortunate situation that has had an impact on all of us as police officers,” said York Regional Police chief Armand La Barge following the disciplinary ruling by Supt. Karen Noakes. “Obviously it’s very upsetting and disappointing.”

La Barge called it a fair decision. But for the man Jordan threw in jail, it was hardly punishment enough.

“He went out of his way to nail me and for nine years of crap, this is what he gets? I’m disgusted,” said Dan Major. “Meanwhile, I’ve lost my kids. I lost my ability to work…”  (Full Story)

…but should we not be concerned about crimes against humanity in our own backyard?

One woman’s nightmare, and a crime against humanity

Robert Fisk in Amman

Call her Hanan. She sits in front of me, a red scarf tied round her long intelligent face, her wide, bright eyes sparkling as she tells her story, her two-year-old son Omar restless on the chair beside her. To save the “honour” of her family – and to avoid being killed by her youngest brother – she has married her own rapist. To save the “honour” of her family – to stay alive – she is now divorcing her rapist. Omar, drinking orange juice, jumping on his plastic chair, is the rapist’s son….

That is a fine label to give to a small boy to grow up with.  Let’s hope that his mom does not keep a clipping of that article in her personal effects, for the boy to find when he grows up or when he is an adult.

I don’t see a reference to a corroborating police report that identifies beyond a doubt that the boy’s mother is telling the truth.  After all, she does have her life to protect, and, when it comes to honour killings, it would be in her best interest to claim that she was raped.  Aside from that, rape accusations are easy to come by.

Just this morning there was an article in the Edmonton Journal (on the bottom of page B8) about a Calgary man who had been incarcerated for two years on account of having been wrongfully accused of brutally raping a woman for ten full hours.   There was a mistrial earlier, due to an issue with one of the jurors (the article was no more specific than that) but just the other day, in a re-trial of the man’s alleged crime, the woman who had accused him admitted under cross-examination by the defence attorney that she had made the whole story up and had lied about it all along.  The next day she did not even show up in court.  It appears that no warrant for her arrest was issued. The woman’s name was not mentioned.  The man’s name is John Francis Dionne.  He was to be released later on Friday.

Will anything be done to fully compensate the man for the time he spent in jail and to have his reputation and career destroyed?  I doubt it.  Will his accuser be made to make full retribution for the crime against her victim that she committed?  I doubt that even more.

Cases like that are legion, some for no other reason than that a woman accuser wanted to come up with an acceptable excuse for showing up late for a meeting or for supper with her family.

Robert Fisk’s article concludes,

….The two-year-old struggles down from his plastic chair and demands chocolates. But given his mother’s painful struggle, what world has he been born into?

(Full Story)

Robert Fisk should have come up with a more appropriate ending: “Given his mother’s hatred for his father and for half of the boy’s genetic heritage, will the poor boy be able to respect his mother, his father, any men or perhaps even himself when he grows up?”

Robert Fisk is not helping.  He appears to have appointed himself judge, jury and executioner, and all of that apparently for no other reason than the complaint by a damsel in discomfort.  What a world the Robert Fisks have created!

The article by Robert Fisk contains an estimated statistic: “Hanan is the victim of a vast, corrupt system of “honour” crimes that plagues the Middle East, and takes the lives of at least 5,000 women – perhaps four times that number – a year, a vicious patriarchal system of extra-judicial killings in which a chance conversation between an unmarried woman and a stranger,…” and “….Policemen and judges often connive with the murderers.”

Other than that, his article consists of a long tale of anecdotal evidence as told by the woman who claims to have been the victim of a rape.  Is the story true?  Why should we accept her word as the sole authority for the story’s veracity?  There were no other witnesses to the alleged crime.

Aside from that, an opposite bias by the judicial and law-enforcement authorities in the so-called free West is without a doubt the cause of the deaths of about exactly 30,000 men in North America a year, out of a population of 340 million people, compared to an alleged 5,000 (or “perhaps four times that number”) in the Middle East, out of a population that is much larger than that of North America.

It seems to me that when in search of victims for personal monetary gain, Robert Fisk and others like him should go by rank based on size of victim group to raise sympathy and pity for those who deserve consideration most, not necessarily by what is politically correct and easiest to sell by the word count in the articles he earns his bread-and-butter with.

At any rate, all that stands as the dividing line of the legal reality of a man being or lover or being a rapist is the plausibility of a woman’s word, and women often lie.  The woman who lied about John Francis Dionne is a prostitute, but she is still deemed to be a victim whose name needs to be protected.
