But, the sentiment is applicable in a wider context in that fear of difference; of the other; of what we don't know or understand should be a starting point to learn and enlighten our minds and adapt to new challenges rather than resort to despising or hating or withdrawing into isolation.
      Fear isn't something only applicable to one context in one instance but is a universal and natural defense mechanism.

      Honestly, don't cover tracks, go to another state, let them come for you. Then fight the case on the basis that the law is over reaching when it says you can't do something that is legal elsewhere. It would be like going to Colorado legally smoking pot then going home and getting arrested by your local police department because it is illegal in your state. You didn't break the laws of where you were at the time you performed the action, so no crime was committed. Fight it all the way to the Supreme Court and force a decision to be made on whether your state laws apply when out of the jurisdiction of those laws.

      @Oma Cool doesn't bother me. I just find it strange that this would be a reply to a comment that has basically nothing to do with everything you said. When it could have just as easily stood as it's own post... Also a few critiques, you equate Wicca with the broader idea of witchcraft, whereas, although a good portion are, not all Wiccans are witches, and not all witches are wiccan. Wicca is a religion. Witchcraft is a practice. You can be witch and not a wiccan. Take voodoo practioners for example, you wouldn't call them wiccan, but you could label the practice of voodoo, a form of witchcraft, but could also stand as a religion all it's own. Also you generalize witches as uniquely women. Again witchcraft is a practice, of which, any gender can partake in. Witch is a non-gendered term. So you can be a witch but also identify as a man. Although some male witches prefer to be recognized by other terms such as magician, wizard, or the ever controversial term of Warlock. Women may also chose to identify as any of these terms. Any labels a magick practitioner may choose to go by typically goes part and parcel with the form of witchcraft they choose to practice I.e. Green Witch, Astral Witch, Eclectic Witch, Chaos Magician, Weather Wizard etc. In summation, to each their own. Merry Meet and Blessed Be.

      @@gh2frg I haven't looked at the document, but it sounds like you have. Mind posting a direct quote of those articles?
      My understanding is it should function that first, the accusation of rape fails for sufficient evidence. Then, if the defendant accused has evidence to a claim of malicious litigation, they can reverse charges.
      Keep in mind, it sounds harsh to threaten a person with 10 years for lying, and it kind of is... But a false accusation of rape, if inflicted, *carries a life sentence on the sex offender list* which decides where a person can live, work, and who they can talk to. It is a harsh life, and deservedly so. Sex crimes are some of the most heinous violations of trust that can be committed inside a community. If a dog bites once, maybe they'll bite again.
      The sad thing though, is that actual rapists, which can be loved members of the community, tend to have an entourage willing to lie for them to create an alibi. So the odds are stacked against victims.
      At the very least, measures should enable the understanding that two people absolutely do not want to see each other.
      It's a difficult case to charge somebody when the only proof is a first account testimony.
      Of course, it would be possible to have cameras everywhere and such; almost everybody carries a wireless microphone and camera in their pocket these days. It'd be a huge shift to live in a world where we know we're always being watched. Two sides to that though, we have the freedom to be better people, because hurtful actions are intervened on. But we also feel the strain of occasionally being reminded that our only secrets are in our minds.

    What are the actual statistics on the rates of false accusations versus genuine accusations of sexual assault? I've seen a few different figures and they all seem to indicate the majority of accusations are genuine, the numbers seem to hover between 4.5 percent to 5.2 percent of the total accusations being proven false. Further, the figures I've seen for the number of rapes reported in general range from 5 to 33 percent of the total.
    This means that at the most, if the numbers are accurate -of the 33 percent of the rapes that are actually reported- 95 percent are legitimate reports.
    It scares me to think about the other 67 percent or more who never step forward for whatever reason.
    I'm not a woman or a victim of a rape, which makes it very difficult for me to understand the circumstances in which a woman or a victim of a rape might not want to step forward. I would prefer not to go with generalities and vague cliches to explain the phenomena. To that end I tend to defer to the experiences of a coworker who was violently raped in her teens and how she chose not to come forward for the reasons she did. Those being the knowledge of what was waiting for her at home, at school, and at the police station in the form of societal condemnation of her.
    I will say false accusations of any sort are a problem. I just don't think they are a pressing enough problems to go the extent the state of Alabama is courting.
    edit..
    For reference, I'm drawing some- the majority of my numbers off the wikipedia page for false allegations.

      I looked into this hard. Realistic estimations using real science range between 2 and 9 percent. The one I thought had the best methodology was 6%.
      The 2% stat comes from taking that study and accounting for the 67% of unreported assaults. The problem is that figure comes from a self reported study. They're notoriously inaccurate. While most data backs up the figures from it, I as a general rule don't buy studies on controversial topics using that method of getting data.

      @@BeauoftheFifthColumn It's a shame there isn't a more definitive study on it. However, its an equal shame that even if such a thing were to exist, I highly doubt it would have a meaningful impact on the "conversation" as it exists today.
      I too have a difficult time accepting self-reporting and anonymous internet surveys as useful collectors of good data.
      As I said, its a shame.

      Regardless of the actual number of false report incidents, albeit undeniably minuscule, the fact remains that this proposed law exacerbates the true tragedy manifesting in this vile deplorable act - under reporting! This bill breathes life into the primary threat abusers tell their victims - 1) No one will believe you, and 2) You'll be in trouble if you tell. Anyone who proposes such a flagrantly deleterious legislation is either woefully ignorant, or a violator; neither of which should be in *ANY* position of power!

      Conspiracy therorist is a term coined to discredit people speaking the truth. some conspiracies are whack. they are so crazy no one believes it.
      No One.
      But the real ones are merely speaking truth to power and they don't like it when people expose their lies, hence the term conspiracy theorist. It's not a bad thing. It's s good thing. Be careful how you use that term. If that doesn't help, I can't help you any further.
