--- Want any of my Constitutional rights?, ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ
I come from a time and a place where I judge people by the content of their character; I don't give a damn if you are tall or short; gay or straight; Jew or Gentile; White, Black, Brown or Green; Conservative or Liberal. -- Note to mods: if you are going to infract me have the decency to post the reason, and expect to hold everyone else to the same standard.
Not sure what's worse: a rapist or a retarded judge. Soon we won't be able to fuck without a signed agreement lol
All you're doing is trying to say "she was right because the judge said she was telling the truth". If you find yourself believing one side of a story over another, especially in a case like this, then you're just closing your mind off to the possibility that what she said COULD be false just as much as what he said could be false too. You're limiting yourself to one side, for some unknown reason to me. That second quote is all judges opinion, and should be completely disregarded in my books too. "He was CONVINCED that blah blah blah". Everything the judge said is what SHE said, and it was like he didn't pay any mind to what he said, or his side of the story. Bad practice of the law.
You don't get it, do you? It's exactly the same scenario. The woman CLAIMS to have withdrawn consent during sex. There is no way to know whether she is lying or telling the truth. There is no other testimony, no evidence, just her word. She could be lying through her teeth and just wanting to spite this guy because maybe he insulted her or made her feel bad somehow.
In a just society, it takes more than just being accused of rape to be found guilty for it. If there is any justice left in Canada, this beyond idiotic and unjust ruling will get overturned.

No, it really isn't. This bullshit WILL hit a tipping point, then stupid shit like "the accusation IS the evidence" or "I regret having sex last night so even though I consented, i'm withdrawing my consent after the fact and magically turning my partner into a rapist" will not fly anymore. Because this IS bullshit and it isn't justice. Only someone with a very fucked up and perverted sense of "morality" would think this kind of shit is justice.

That isn't fucking "progress" by ANY definition. It's regression. It's the Salem Witch trials all over again, except instead of accusing people of witchcraft on little or no evidence except "she said he said" testimony and then burning them at the stake, we're accusing them of rape and ruining their lives.
Oh, how "enlightened" we are and how "progressive" we are!
I suppose Canada may have a different definition of "justice", but in most civilized countries, you're innocent until proven guilty.

Well, I guess we know whose vision of the future they are working so hard to bring into being...
So if I've got this right, he had a testimony, so did she, there was no evidence of a rape at all, so they sided with the woman?
I can't say I follow their logic.
"Does the woman rush to the police right away or wait days, weeks, months? It doesn’t matter, Zuker said. There are plenty of reasons why victims wait or don’t report at all."
That seems the most open for exploitation. 2 months later, maybe after a tough breakup and she's feeling particularly vengeful. It's long past the point where there'd be any evidence, but mark her words, she was raped.
The tragedy of that is
1) beta males like certain unnamed 'champions' would be among the first to die;
2) there would be numerous revolts among the men slaves;
3) civilization as a whole would collapse in a generation or two.

I'm not too bothered by men being thrown in jail in Canada with no evidence. Hopefully they will get to tennisace.
