try to keep up. it’s not easy, I will grant you that.
but challenge me on IDEAS or policy. rather than corrected typos initially caused by autocorrect.
i welcome the discussion.

I never even came anything close to saying that.
Read my responses more closely. They are usually lengthy and comprehensive.
Nobody is more careful with words here than I am.
Then why do you keep pointing out she didn't try to leave? You bring it up in other threads about sexual assault as well - why did she stay, why did she go back to his place, she was drinking/doing drugs. At the very least you're victim blaming.

i am mostly looking for the other side of the story. not victim blaming at all. just looking for balance.
none of them interview the subject of the allegations.
none.
zero.
the story linked above states 5% of the allegations are false. fabricated. so in Saanich for instance 40 completely fake reports have been filed each year.
that seems crazy.
i want to justice in every case.
but i also want people to know that things are not so black and white.

Grumpy taxpayers:
“It's unacceptable that if you commit a violent crime in Victoria, there’s now only a one-in-three chance you will be criminally charged,” says Stan Bartlett, past chair of the municipal watchdog Grumpy Taxpayer$.
That's because the victim is not required to cooperate with police. A rise in street violence associated with the street drug and street criminality industries create an outcome where people don't want to cooperate with police.
Then add onto it the rising attitude that cooperating with police is bad for you, according to social justice advocates (not just the perps).
Know it all.

Exactly where did you get the one in five women are raped statistic? On the face of it this seems questionable. But I would certainly like to review the source you are quoting.
Posted 29 July 2021 - 07:52 AM
From the National Sexual Violence Resource Centre - realizing now that these stats are for the US: https://www.nsvrc.or...-violence_0.pdf
Seeing now that CDC site uses different wording, they state that nearly 1 in 5 women and nearly 1 in 38 men have experienced completed or attempted rape: https://www.cdc.gov/...ence/index.html
According to StatsCan, more than 11 million Canadians reported they have been the victims of sexual assault since the age of 15.

If it is about balance, why do you keep questioning the victims' actions? Why not ask why a man would invite an inebriated woman over to his place, or give someone drugs and alcohol and put themselves at risk of false allegations?
i am only questioning it in these very very few high-profile cases. that the media seems fascinated with.
you could go down to the courthouse today and see men sentenced for sexual assault probably every day. i am not defending any of them. i do question why actual convictions do not make the news but other often weak allegations do.
is it more important to the public or for the public good to write one 53-paragraph article about a sexually aggressive Realtor that was never charged, or to write about maybe the dozens of men every week that are actually convicted of these sex assault crimes?

The article was about how the police mishandled her case involving the realtor, which they later apologized for. That is why he was never charged. If you still think that questioning this victim's actions is appropriate then let's agree to disagree.

I think tinder “dating” is for the lazy, sloppy and uncreative to begin with.
I am also not sure if you know what tinder is for. it’s overwhelmingly used for “sex on the first ‘date’”.
I don't think you have any idea about what tinder is really like.
