Subject: RE: BS: 'Some rape victims should take blame'- ??
I see the new UK Government have said "Anonymity in rape cases to be extended to defendants." as part of their legal reforms. As has been said much earlier in this thread, I totally agree with that. No man (or woman) should be named for an alleged rape. They should only be named once proven guilty. This should hopefully put an end to how many men's lives have been ruined by false accusations. I would extend it out to jail terms for anyone making malicious, false claims too.

A woman (or man) should be able to walk down a street naked without anyone being able to think it gives them the right to go and rape them or that it even encouragages or sanctifies their own urges.

"...but if she gives out a message there is bit of tailing on the go - you can't blame the bloke"... Yes you can and should. He has no implied rights to go where his willy leads him. He has a brain too and knows what is right, wrong, legal and illegal.

IMHO
