The next time some random woman screams "rape", let the crucifying crowd give pause before they pelt the alleged rapist with stones and epithets.
That a woman says she was raped by a man doesn't mean she was indeed raped by that man (Nor is the man's denial proof that she wasn't, yea).
The man who is accused of rape is entitled to fair hearing. Before he is denounced as a pig, a boar, let his denouncers take heed lest his accuser be herself a proven sow.
Owning a penis is an anatomical asset, not a biological liability. I believe the same can be said about owning ovaries. Therefore, believing a man is a rapist just because a girl says so is analogous to believing a girl is an adulterer just because her husband says so.
There Is No Such Thing As Something No Girl (or guy) Can Lie About. We may all want to remember that when deciding in favor of the one who says she was raped or in favor of the one who denies that any of their encounters together even remotely approached rape.
