   Yeah, yeah . . . we've heard it all before. You've been making out women to   
   be the liars in sexual assault cases for years.   
   Now suddenly you're saying the passel of women who are coming out to accuse   
   Ghomeshi of sexual assault or harassment are telling the truth.   
      
   You can't have it both ways, ya hypocrite . . . either women are usually liars   
   in these cases or they didn't lie only in the Ghomeshi case.   
   Regardless, the floodgates are now open to accusations by anyone - and proof   
   doesn't seem to be a criterion before someone is either fired, demoted, or   
   accused by name in the media.

   'DAVE SMITH'S' OPINION OF SEXUAL ASSAULT CLAIMS BY WOMEN:   
      
      
    Dave Smith

   There was a strange case a few months ago where a man was convicted for   
   sexual assault, or maybe it was ta higher court upholding a conviction.   
   The case is so kinky and bizarre that I am reluctant to argue its   
   merits, but it does raise issues of consent. The couple were living   
   together had had lots of kinky sex. They liked for him to choke her   
   until she passed out. Some say passing out at the moment of orgasm   
   heightens the experience. I will take their word for it but have no   
   interest in trying it.   
      
   The complaint was based on an incident one night where they were going   
   at it and he was strangling her... she passed out and woke up to him   
   screwing her in the ass. The judge ruled something to the effect that   
   she could not consent when she was unconscious. As soon as she passed   
   out, the previous consent was no longer valid.   
      
   It seems odd to me to say that someone can agree to be subjected to   
   being choked to the point of passing out,..the aim being to have sex   
   while passed out, and then to say there was no consent because the   
   person was unconscious.

   person was unconscious.   
      
   The other issue was the timing of the complaint. The woman did not   
   complain to the police when she came to. She did not complain the next   
   day or, or any time that week. The complaint was lodged several months   
   later. They had had a fight and were breaking up and the man wanted   
   custody of their kid. All of a sudden, the kinky sex several months ago   
   became a criminal offence.

   Bullshit. I said nothing about anyone saying 'No'. I referred to   
   consensual sex at the time and then deciding later that they were too   
   drunk to have consented.

   Someone I know who worked on a police sexual assault squad figured that   
   at least 30% of reported rapes turned out to be unfounded. According to   
   a web article I read last night it is more like 40-50%.

   Bachman was acquitted. Heaven forbid we start prosecuting the women who   
   make false allegations. It is quite common for troubled girls to make up   
   stories about sexual abuse at the hands of men in a position of   
   authority over them, or to fantasize things that never really happened.   
      
   I don't a connection between real victims of sexual assaults and false   
   allegations. In the latter, the only real victim is the person who has   
   been falsely accused. If I ran the world, anyone who made false and   
   malicious allegations against an innocent person would be subject to the   
   same punishment their victim was facing.

   How about pathological liars? They can't help lying. Yet, they can cause   
   a lot of problems with their lying.

   I thought it was about the politically correct mumbo jumbo of victimization.    
   It   
   seems that the only people who have a sexual appetite these days are sexual   
   predators. Gone are the days when adolescent sexual curiousty was accepted as
