claims to be pro life, kills anyway

The law would effectively ban abortions in Ohio and means that women who get them – and the doctors who perform the procedure – could be charged with murder and potentially face the death penalty.In its current form, House Bill 565 makes no mention of exceptions for life-threatening pregnancies, or pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.

X

“no mention of exceptions for life-threatening pregnancies, or pregnancies resulting from rape or incest. “

Even Incest, Rape, and Life-Threatening complications are a-ok for Ohio. 

so instead of just killing the baby, kill both the baby and the mother? makes sense…

not surprising coming from ohio – the state that executes more people than any other. sickening.

yikes

he’s worried because his fame and the public response. he’s not worried about the real women that ‘he chased’ and probably made uncomfortable. too transparent & it shows that he didnt understood anything lmao.

not to mention he dated a 19 year old recently…like of course he’s afraid of the MeToo movement

any man that says he’s scared to do anything for fear of being called a rapist 100% has predatory leanings and should probably die

So if a man was afraid of hitting on a convicted false accuser who accused the last guy who got involved with her, he’s just a predator? 

Women are perfect creatures who never make mistakes, and there’s no ambiguity or subjectivity in social interactions at all? No woman has ever mistakenly accused a man of some form of sexual misconduct, ever, because she made incorrect assumptions about his intent?

Only 2-10% of rape accusations are estimated to be false, and only 6 out of 1000 rapists will even be incarcerated so if you think a rape accusation (be it true or false) will actually ever really impact a man’s life when only 11 Out Of those 1000 will be referred to prosecutors and then only 7 will get a felony conviction. (Like do some bare minimum of reading on the RAINN website lol)

I have literally seen a man get out of any prison time in exchange for 13 years probation after admitting to raping his daughter for 17 years. Even actually admitting to being a rapist doesn’t matter (except he can’t be near schools but forgive me I don’t fucking care), so yea I don’t trust men whose main priority is ‘but what if I’m called a rapist :(‘ when 2 Out Of 3 assaults go unreported because they don’t trust cops to help them and fear retaliation (and 7% Of unreporting survivors don’t report so they DONT get their RAPIST IN TROUBLE).

But let’s talk about in depth studies surrounding false rape claims!

What the police label a ‘false allegation’ is up to the cop’s personal discretion and is NOT always applied correctly. In the Philadelphia sexual assault victim study from 72-75, when they looked at 705 cases that had both police and social worker reports they found that cops (who used the criteria of: If they thought it was false based on evidence or if they were skeptical of the woman because she may have been drinking, an addict, or had prior sexual relations with her attacker, all of which is pretty unethical to do) classified 15% as unfounded meanwhile social workers only classified 3% as unfounded.

Then there is the 2005 British home office study where only 8.2% Of 2,643 cases reported to the police were classified as false, even then the cops violated their OWN RULES for what constituted a false allegation by judging based on skepticism about victims who were mentally ill, had some inconsistencies, or if they were drinking or using drugs. When the ACTUAL criteria was applied (where there is a clear and credible admission by the complainants, or where there are strong evidential grounds’) they found that in reality only 2.5% could be classified as false.

the American MAD study in 2008 that took data over an 18-24 month period, and that out of the 2,059 cases they looked at law enforcement marked 140 of them to be ‘baseless/unfounded’ (elements of crime were not met, but not false according the UCR criteria) or ‘unfounded/false’ (based on investigative findings that crime did not occur). So even then, not all of that 6.8% can really be considered truly ‘false’.

Now from a paper published in 2010 called False Allegations Of Sexual Assault: An Analysis Of Ten Years Reported Cases (where you can source for yourself the above studies), they also talked about their ‘current’ study. In this study, a major college allowed access to cases of every sexual assault reported to the department over 10 years (1998-2007). They created the coding system of:

false report (applying IACP guidelines and verified through thorough investigation)

Case did not proceed (if the case did not result in a referral for prosecution because victim withdrew, insufficient evidence, or the victim was unable to ID the perp, or the incident was mislabeled which mean there was a truthful account but did not meet legal requirements of sexual assault)

Case proceeded (if the case resulted in a referral for prosecution or disciplinary action or administrative action by university)

Insufficient info (applied if a report lacked basic info I.e. victim nor perp were identified or insufficient info to assign a category).

Out of the 136 reports they analyzed: 8 were coded false, 61 did not proceed, 48 were referred for prosecution, and 19 contained insufficient information.

I will admit, this info may be incorrect but that’s because it’s estimated that between 64% and 96% of survivors DONT report (source in the aforementioned paper). Studies in the same paper show that the stereotype that women are lying HURTS actual victims. Quote from the paper:

When Law enforcement believes that half or more of rape reports are fabricated (Jordan, 2004), their approach to victims can easily become more akin to hostile interrogation than fact finding (IACP, 2005b).

So from the studies I have seen and statistics I have seen, and ACTUALLY FALSE rape accusation is rather rare. But also from what I have seen in real life living in an area with a high rate of sexual assault (a girl was raped in the locker room at my high school at knife point on camera, rapist had no actions. My friend’s dad who served maybe 2 years before given 12 years parole, etc), a rape accusation does nothing to a man’s stance. Weinstein has countless complaints made against him and nothing happened, Donald trump has numerous sexual assault cases and if you don’t believe them a WELL documented habit of going into teenage pageant changing rooms to look at girls and people elected him president.

If people believed rape victims you MIGHT have a point, but if a man is vocally concerned about being accused of rape that makes me highly suspicious because what kind of man needs to run around going ‘im so scared someone will call me a rapist’ during a time where sexual predators in Hollywood are being held accountable. A better question is how fucking Dumb is your hypothetical man that he pursues a woman who (I’m assuming) has been confirmed to make false rape accusations? But to summarize:

Just remember. There is no such thing as a fake geek girl.
There are only fake geek boys.
Science fiction was invented by a woman.

Specifically a teenage girl. You know, someone who would be a part of the demographic that some of these boys are violently rejecting.

Isaac Asimov.

yo mary shelley wrote frankenstein in 1818 and isaac asimov was born in 1920 so you kinda get my point

If you want to push it back even further Margaret Cavendish, the duchess of Newcastle (1623-1673) wrote The Blazing World in 1666, about a young woman who discovers a Utopian world that can only be accessed via the North Pole – oft credited as one of the first scifi novels

Women have always been at the forefront of literature, the first novel (what we would consider a novel in modern terms) was written by a woman (Lady Muraskai’s the Tale of Genji in the early 1000s) take your snide “Isaac Asimov” reblogs and stick it

even in terms of male scifi authors, asimov was predated by Jules Verne, HG Wells, George Orwell, you could have even cited Poe or Jonathan Swift has a case but Asimov?

PbbBFFTTBBBTBTTBBTBTTT so desperate to discredit the idea of Mary Shelly as the mother of modern science fiction you didn’t even do a frickin google search For Shame

And if you want to go back even further, the first named, identified author in history was Enheduanna of Akkad, a Sumerian high priestess.

I always like giving a shout out to Baroness Emma Orczy who invented the masked hero/vigilante with her play The Scarlet Pimpernel in 1905, 34 years before Batman.

Things were so much simpler before women started stealing all of my favorite things from me. I don’t care what anyone says. Women aren’t and will never be true fans of Doctor Who, Star Trek or any of that. You jumped in because you wanted attention. You became “fans” because suddenly liking sci-fi shows and fantasy became popular. You only want guys to drool over you because you’re girls who “like” geeky stuff. Kindly go jump in a lake and die.

A woman organized the letter-writing campaign to NBC to save Star Trek when it was on the verge of being cancelled after the first season, and thus enabled the show to continue on for three seasons allowing it to go into syndication and gain the following it did in reruns.

A woman organized the first ever Star Trek convention, and convinced NASA to donate a truckload full of stuff for said convention thus starting the tradition of Star Trek conventions featuring space for modern science.

A woman greenlit Star Trek while acting at the head of a major studio, and consistently fought pressure to cancel the show. This same woman was the person who greenlit Mission Impossible and was the first woman to head a major studio.

A woman wrote many of the most famous TOS episodes, and went on to write on to write episodes of The Animated Series, The Next Generation, and Deep Space Nine.

Learn your history.

You think women stole your favorite things? If it weren’t for women, those things wouldn’t even exist, but you probably don’t even know the names of the women who made that possible.

So much for “infinite diversity in infinite combinations”…

Who is the fake now?

i’m just laughing so hard right now bc it’s hitting me that there are geek guys who think that women would actually pretend to like this stuff to cater to guys. like it never really occurred to me the depths of how absolutely fucking stupid that idea is.  ”we appear to have common interests but you still don’t like me so that must mean we don’t actually have common interests and you are not a real fan”. oh my god i just can’t right now. i want to feel offended by the fact that there is an idiot out there trying to tell me what i can and cannot like but i’m just too busy laughing.

Also, a lot of the current fandom terminology we take for granted originated in the Star Trek fandom, specifically Star Trek fanfic. And who were the major driving force behind Star Trek fanfic? Women.

Earliest spec fic texts in the English-speaking Western world were written by Thomas More (Utopia), Lady Margaret Cavendish (the Blazing World), and Mary Shelley (Frankenstein). Note that there are two women among those names.

I am so sick of these Fake Geek Guys who don’t even understand the history of the fandom they claim to want to protect.

A WOMAN WAS THE FIRST PRODUCER OF DOCTOR WHO.

A WOMAN CREATED THE THEME TUNE FOR DOCTOR WHO.

Are you fucking kidding me? So we can create your favorite things, but it’s impossible for us to be fans of them?

One particular woman, you might know her, she’s the Queen of fucking England, has been watching Doctor Who since the first damn episode, and hasn’t missed one in 60 years.
