There are so many men out in the world that have been accused of rape and sent to jail with no evidence. Women have a very powerful voice in this generation. It can ruin a man's life within an instant. There should be cases with the two individuals that don't cause the man to go straight to jail right away.

I hope you eventually find your way out of this misogynistic incel pipeline...

 @9RHK5N6Alliance from New York  commented…2yrs2Y

Not you bringing up the myth that false rape allegations ruin lives when true rape allegations aren’t even doing that.

Hate to burst your little bubble, but false rape accusations RARELY happen. Meanwhile anywhere from 1 in 2 to 1 in 5 women are being raped by men like you.

The fact that you’re THIS concerned about being accused of rape makes me think you’re hiding something.

 @9KM6ZWF from Washington  agreed…2yrs2Y

Many men in the United States have been accused of Rape and are truly innocent. Men can have their own lives ruined just by the accusations and commit suicide because of this

 @9GYX2F6 from Florida  agreed…3yrs3Y

Forced sex is rape and it is inexcusable not only in the eyes of the government and the public but also inexcusable in the eyes of god

 @BD2W37T  from Indiana  agreed…2mos2MO

yall if someone says they want to do the dirty they should have a right but if they force do it that should be considered rape

 @9GRP8SV from New York  disagreed…3yrs3Y

Rape is Rape. If rape has occured in a marriage I would think there were issues leading to the crime making it a pre-meditated offence.

 @9FL4THQ from Oklahoma  disagreed…3yrs3Y

It does not matter if you are married, if your spouse said no then you should not force them to have sex and if you do then that is rape and should be punished accordingly.

 @9HQV9TL from Ohio  disagreed…3yrs3Y

The idea that marital rape does not exist is a notion far beyond old fashioned and outdated. Rape can and does exist in marital households and can happen in any and all situations. Rape cannot be denied by a ring on a finger.

 @9F9TFJY from Pennsylvania  disagreed…3yrs3Y

I think it depends on the age. If y'all are both the same age or at least a year difference, with consent it shouldn't be punishable until it's actual rape.

 @9FRCX23 from Ohio  disagreed…3yrs3Y

Rape is rape, it does not matter if it was during a marriage or not, consent matters and rape should not be allowed in any capacity

 @9M5MZWTWomen’s Equality from Texas  agreed…2yrs2Y

Yes the law criminalizes all forms of rape of men or women, including spousal rape, but unlike other rapes is not a “public crime”.

 @9G8LK62Libertarian from Texas  disagreed…3yrs3Y

Forced sex is rape and it is inexcusable not only in the eyes of the government and the public but also inexcusable in the eyes of god

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
