Conviction overturned

[Gibbon]

Given the nature of us blokes I would geuss that a majority of rape claims are true. On the other hand, most cases are just one person's word against another, we can't just presume guilt. Some cases must be dubious too, one should not take advantage of a consenting woman who is very drunk, but if the bloke is equally drunk, is it all his fault?

In some ways I just don't get it. If a woman is not up for it I get the physical and mental droop. I've been in bed a few times with women who at the last moment just don't want the full monty, (usually married or have boyfriends). Sometimes I got a bonus 'happy ending', but a other times walked out into a cold night trying to find a taxi. Them's the breaks.

If you look at the small proportion of cases that go to court and the large proportion of those that fail to actually convict then its scary how few are real.


Yes some men are animals. Not all though.

some find the reluctance a turn on. most though find it a complete turn off.
