Cry Rape! and Let Slip the Dogs of War

I have no idea at all whether or not Julian Assange the founder of Wikileaks is guilty of any crime related to his sexual activity. He may be as pure as the driven snow, as guilty as sin or perhaps somewhere in between.

I don’t know whether Mr Assange has committed an actual offence or if his crime exists only in the imagination of a random female (or two) and vigorously backed up by the state of Sweden.

It may be that the charges have been invented in order to bring down a man who has become an acute embarrassment for the US, UK and other governments. After all, an allegation of rape made by a woman against a man must be granted as being an ideal weapon to ruin a man’s reputation.

Why? Because the truth of the allegation is irrelevant. Evidence is irrelevant. The accusation is everything and he is automatically guilty. At least in our minds.

Man accused of a sex crime = man guilty of a sex crime. We all know who he is, and we don’t know who she is and, therefore, the accusation is all that matters. Truth and evidence have nothing to do with it. A woman’s say so is like the word of God except with the addition of police and prosecutorial backup.

This man has had his name inextricably and irrevocably linked with rapist and sex offender Her name must be protected to save her from further harm, even when she’s a liar. The accused man is deemed to need no protection, even when he’s innocent.

I don’t have the information to clear his name or confirm his guilt, and I don’t really care.

What I do care about, as all men should, is how easily his name has been utterly annihilated, throughout the world, on the say so of some nameless, anonymous woman (apparently, and highly suspiciously, two women) who has accused him of not stopping sex with her when she asked him to.

That’s right, Julian Assange is wanted by Interpol no less, an international fugitive, headline news all over the world, an evil sex crime perpetrator “fleeing justice”, because he had consensual sex with a woman who then changed her mind at some point.

Presumably she thinks that he didn’t respond in the right way or with the right speed; or perhaps he even  withdrew too quickly, causing her pain or discomfort; or perhaps he withdrew fine, but then persuaded her to continue and now, when she looks back on it and thinks it all through, she feels that, yes, she was raped. Who knows?

On a separate note, I wonder if a woman could sue a fairground if, in the middle of the rollercoaster ride, she decided she didn’t want to be on it anymore and want to get off? Should there be a mechanism to stop the ride, even if it’s upside down at the time, to allow women to get off?

But of course, sex is not like a funfair ride and men are not like machines. We must remember that women are granting men a favour when they have sex with them. It is a gift that can be withdrawn and reinstated at a moments notice and men can be in consensual ecstasy one minute and handcuffed as a rapist the next.

He must stand (or lie) ready to thrust himself forwards or hastily backwards on her whim. He must be on high alert for the faintest sign that she may be pondering the possibility of thinking about maybe changing her mind. Potentially. Or not. Tell you what, she’s not sure right now, can she decide if he’s a rapist in the morning? Or maybe she can think about it for a few months and then lay charges?

Heads he’s a rapist, Tails he’s not…

The reasons for women crying rape are so numerous and so often trivial that all sexual encounters with women may easily result in a rape allegation if she is so inclined. This is not an exaggeration

Is she feeling raped today?

Any man that has sex with any woman can be accused of raping that woman. Sex is deemed to be something granted to the man by a benevolent female and the implicit assumption is that she might not want to give it, but he might certainly want to take it. This flawed view of the sexual dynamic leads to a situation that currently exists where a man is in a permanent state of being a potential rapist. It is not about what he does, it’s about how she feels about what he does. Rape is now, officially, a crime defined in almost any way a woman chooses.

The British justice system, and obviously, others around the world, stands eagerly ready to drag a man through hell on her say so alone, without evidence and regardless of how unconvincing her story may be. If, as happens with deeply sad commonality, many men quite literally lose their sanity along with their friends, job and family relationships, and some even commit suicide under the horrific life-rending burden of a false rape allegation, well, so what?

Perhaps this is the privilege that men enjoy when women bemoan a “male-dominated society”.

WMD – Weapon of Man Destruction

As well as Mr Assange being wanted for supposed sex offences, he is also accused of treason and his website Wikileaks,org (down as I write this…) is also under attack with DDOS attacks. Do patterns get any clearer than this?

Who’d want to be in Assange’s shoes, right now?

Sex crime accusations are something of an ultimate weapon used by the state (as well as by women) against men. The allegation transcends every class of society and any man is vulnerable no matter what his good character. Hence it has massive support from the state which is forever looking for ways to corral and dominate men, who are so troublesome to big government.

The key to the power of the rape allegation, however, does not lie in the hands of the state, it lies within us. No matter how virtuous the man and no matter how transparent the lie, too many of us are all willing to believe him a sex predator on the say so of any random female.

He can be made a victim of a false rape allegation on the whim of any female he comes into contact with, and even a woman with whom he has never had contact.

It ain’t easy living in a false-rape culture.

A man can be accused of rape, even if he wasn’t there
