u.k rape statistics

Same. Sometimes I think that if I ever got raped I would probably rather be dead than have to live with it

That's a trashy ass way of thinking which doesn't help rape survivors. Stuff like that makes it seem like you can never recover, or try to get over the trauma. And if you get raped you're better off dead.

They are not over-reported, they are still under-reported. And people don't get put in prison without solid evidence.
I think it's good that people are being more aware of the different circumstances rape can occur under (for example in a relationship).

I also think your attitudes do a lot to support the persecution of rape victims instead of the criminals.

Just as I predicted: I can say that people get raped often in African countries but I can't say that people get raped often in India.

You need to chill out, you are provoking people to say things about your country and then calling them racist.

Also I'm not going to take the time to reply again unless you learn to write proper sentences.

85000 rapes per year? ie. 233 rapes per day? that doesn't sound right. there can't be 233 rapes every day in britain surely?

Those are just my personal thoughts. I know it doesn't help victims.
I'm just being honest about my thoughts, I'm sure that a lot of women feel the same way.

I wasn't talking about that.

But on that subject, I think that is a reason why the rape statistics in developed countries are over-reported, because so many women will use the rape accusation as a means to an end, maybe to get someone they don't like in prison.

I also hate how whenever a woman makes a thread about an experience asking if it was rape, every woman will say "yes of course it was rape you should tell the police at get him arrested immediately", even when the case is marginal and not really causing any harm whatsoever.

I know, it is just harder to prevent assaults by people you know.
I'm not disagreeing with you, everyone whatever gender should take their personal safety seriously.

There's a reason for that, look at it this way:

If you are in a relationship/with a male friend and suspect he might rape you some day, you can tell your friends to watch out for you and don't let him get you alone if you are drunk. There are always precautions you can take, and if nothing else you can avoid that person if you doubt them.

If you are a man and a woman is planning to pin a rape accusation on you, you have literally no idea about it and no way to prepare for it. There are no tell-tale signs that could make you suspicious, and it's not like men are good at picking up on these anyway.

So victims of false rape accusations require just as much support as actual rape victims. And it's not like rape victims are persecuted if the man says that she's falsely accusing him.

y not ? becoz u have a rosy picture of what u think it is?

Seriously how can a woman rape a man? You just wouldn't get a boner if you were being raped.

Personally. That's why i started going to the gym. It helps a bunch

so many women?
Maybe we should concentrate on the real problem here like the fact 85,000 women (and im guessing thats not including the unreported) are being raped every year

You couldnt even find a similar number of people who have lied and tried to take their case forwards to the police. They just arent there.

Also its hard to tell what happened on an internet forum, it is safer for the person involved if they are saying 'he made me do that', 'he forced me to have sex with him' to be told to go to the police who can make a deeper investigation into it than anyone else on here.
They may also not want to write the full thing down, because they be too distressed to type it, be scared of being judged further, whatever.

As for not causing any harm, who the hell are you to say that? Even a very 'minimal' rape can cause a hell of a lot of mental stress and trauma for the person who has been raped.

When i was raped it was probably 'minimal' by your standards, no being dragged down an alley stuff, but four years later and it is still causing me stress, upset and contributing strongly to my s/h urges and depression. It also has made me far less trusting of people, especially men. My current wonderful, wonderful boyfriend has had to endure a year of panic attacks during sex, because of my experience, to get us to the point where that isnt happening any more.

There is a 7% rape conviction rate and few women lying to try to get someone in prison, so i dont think guys who moan about that have too much to moan about tbh.

Well said.

Not surprised about these statistics to be honest seen a enormous increase in these offences especially this year.

Yes you can.
