The rape I posited is by far the most common type.
The vast majority of rape is the "date rape" variety without violence, from someone the woman knows.
You ranting on & on about extreme outlier cases with extreme aggravation really isn't relevant at all to the point I was making, & is a dishonest attempt by you to change the subject.
I didn't change the subject, you made a false dichotomy.
Your very statement is also extreme:
If you had your life destroyed, lost your job, became unemployable, reputation ruined, family gone, wrongly sentenced to 10 years in prison...
This, in and of itself, is a rare outcome. Many of the very same worst case scenario rape allegations that we've seen (like that baseball player), don't end up with 10 years in prison and the collapse of his career, and the abandonment of family.
That's true; that's the upshot of the massive increase in rape reporting. If it happened, they didn't used to report it. If it didn't happen, they didn't used to report it. Now, they report it all the time. I dont' know what if anything changed.
We now get more reports of this kind of violence, but I assume it's much the same as it always was.
As with a lot of violent crime; it probably went down. However, you do have to wonder if the instances of prison rape skewed statistics.
Even with reported rapes, I think the numbers are still down overall. I've seen NYC's rate of rapes, and it was still significantly worse in the 1970's.
I don't think prison rape gets reported usually. They don't prosecute people for what happens in there if they can get away with looking the other way. That's the internal code vs what society thinks they're supposed to do.

Stop trying to blame me for what you're doing.
I don't care if he's a faggot or not, the comparison still stands.

They actually prosecute rapes all the time, they just can't prevent them. Sentences just get stacked up.
