So to answer my question, the answer is no.. You don't know how hard it is to prove that something happened in a private place.
You ASSUME that it can't be reflective of a 1% conviction rate
But you don't KNOW bc you haven't actually looked into it you are literally just talking out your ass based on how you feel
Think about what you ate for breakfast yesterday (if you were alone, that is, if not go back every day until you ate breakfast alone). Try to come up with evidence that could prove that you are telling the truth about what you ate to a complete stranger, beyond a reasonable doubt (more than 99% sure)
Hopefully this will show you how hard it is
so the fact that there is currently over 200,000 untested rape kits dating back to the 1970s has absolutely nothing to do with the low convinction rates?
"When kits go untested, sexual predators can flourish. In one Detroit case, an assailant struck 11 times over 11 years, all while his DNA sat with police."
Makes no sense, why would takeoff rape someone, is this behavior consistent with how he treats other women he has been involved with?
Does he not know how to properly communicate with women?!
If more women come forward claiming he treated them similar the it will become more believable to me
This nigga said "We don't believe you,you need more people!!"
Why do niggas jump to defend an alleged rapist instead of at the very least being neutral? Yes,fake allegations happen but those are very few compared to real accusations

Bro i hope you’re a satirist
If this was recently and the woman went straight to the hospital, and they notified LAPD, why didn’t he get charged or arrested?
Not doubting the claim but isn’t that weird?
I hate to shift the conversation but what can you tell us from your experience about convictions regarding female on male sexual assault?
Well...I visited a women's jail once (not as a prisoner obviously). There was a woman who was highly dangerous there. She was said to be very beautiful and manipulative, like something out of movie. She manipulated her female lover into killing her husband and chopping his body up and hiding it in the Sahara Desert while they were on vacation. Her conviction was laughable, something like 3 years. After she got out, she more or less did the same thing in a new love triangle and then finally got locked away for life. Would a man have received such a lenient sentencing? I don't know.
Judges are humans too. They have their biases. The difference between 7 years and 3 months and 7 years and 1 month might just come down to how much the judge likes or sympathizes with you. Most criminal law judges are men, most family law judges are women and so on. From my anecdotal experience, criminal law judges will be more lenient towards white people than non-white people, more lenient towards women than men, more lenient towards educated people than uneducated people.
As far as domestic abuse towards men goes, I doubt that anybody takes it seriously. The judges are biased but many cops are straight up white knights and might even arrest the assaulted man first before even thinking about arresting the assaulting woman. A lot of legal systems, for example, only classified a crime as rape when it was vaginal penetration, which obviously meant that men could not be raped. Another crime is exhibitionism: In Germany, only a man can be punished for being naked in public, not a woman. The law is gendered in this way in most countries I would assume.
Perhaps the opinions are changing depending on the country, but female-on-men assault or rape isn't really taken that seriously. Most men still hold paternalistic views of women, most men still believe women are weak and men are strong - this is, for me, the definition of "toxic masculinity".

No, I didn't say that.
But you still never answered the question and you are still making assumptions
Bc you are assuming if all of those were tested that that would lead to a higher than 1% conviction rate which you just don't know bc there are so many more variables that go into needing a conviction. You don't even know the variables that go into why those kits were untested vs the ones that were
And you are assuming that rape isn't being taken as seriously as other crimes but you don't know if there are also 200k police reports of assault that were never looked into, 200k reports of burglary, etc etc
Like I said before, you are literally basing this off of how you feel. And now that I've called you out on it you are trying to cherry pick articles and statistics to back up your stance instead of actually trying to be impartial and search for the truth
And you didn't answer the thought experiment
If this was recently and the woman went straight to the hospital, and they notified LAPD, why didn’t he get charged or arrested?

Said the same thing earlier. This s*** is fishy
Bro i hope you’re a satirist
I’m not
I’m just giving my honest opinion.
Would be more believable to me if other women came out and say that he treated them in a similar f***ed up manner
I know y’all are gonna think im some kinda rape apologist but idc I’m just being honest with myself

Because it's a civil suit, not a criminal case. She just wants damages so far.

Wow that was very informative. Thanks for that!
EDIT: I'd like to add though that isn't there a distinction between sexual assault and rape when it comes to the law or do they both fall under one category of "Rape"?
lolwut
I’m saying that if other women takeoff has been f***ing with come out and say that he treated them in a similar cold manner like this situation then I would definitely believe the accuser
I’m not

If the cops had all the evidence and her statement I feel like that would be enough evidence for them to go at it themselves. Guess not.
Her only wanting to go for a civil suit is either suspicious or morally wrong in my opinion. If you had something this wrong happen to you, and have all the evidence to get justice, why not do it? You set a bad example.

So if a man has raped only woman in his life does she lose credibility simply because there are no other women he's raped?

Bro u thought u had 1
How is what I’m saying a bad argument when it’s literally what got Harvey and bill finally locked up
Women who have been with them claiming they had similar experiences to said acusser
These are celebrities they get with so many women 🤷🏽♂️

You do realize it's more nuanced than that right? You can rape one woman and not rape the other 50 women you've been with.
No, I didn't say that.
But you still never answered the question and you are still making assumptions

And you didn't answer the thought experiment
so I'm "cherrypicking" articles by citing statistics that show large amounts of potential evidence in rape cases go untested and sit on shelves for years?
and yes we do know how it compares to other crimes because those statistics are also made available
the only person arguing with feelings is you with your hypothetical "thought exercises"
So if a man has raped only woman in his life does she lose credibility simply because there are no other women he's raped?
But if a rapist had access to the amount of women takeoff does then i would assume the behavior has been repeated
I’m saying that if other women takeoff has been f***ing with come out and say that he treated them in a similar cold manner like this situation then I would definitely believe the accuser
well, you said a little more than that but i'll take the amended statement. seems like flawed logic to me, but do you
But if a rapist had access to the amount of women takeoff does then i would assume the behavior has been repeated
No man. Not neccesarily. It could have been that one time or it could have been a few other times. It doesnt definitively mean that because he allegedly raped this woman that he did it with all his other women.
