I feel like I am just being given bullshit for a problem that has taken on epidemic proportions.
You are reading what I'm saying and plastering a generic disagreement over an actual point I'm making.
No, there is not just the law, but also the implementation of it.
most of the problems which have arisen recently in regard to this come from legislation
Starr, Sonja B. "Estimating gender disparities in federal criminal cases." American Law and Economics Review 17.1 (2014): 127-159.
the propensity of courts and juries to misjudge rape cases is nothing new
Starr, Sonja B., and M. Marit Rehavi. "Mandatory sentencing and racial disparity: Assessing the role of prosecutors and the effects of Booker." Yale LJ 123 (2013): 2.
Tillyer, Rob, Richard D. Hartley, and Jeffrey T. Ward. "Differential treatment of female defendants: Does criminal history moderate the effect of gender on sentence length in federal narcotics cases?." Criminal justice and behavior 42.7 (2015): 703-721.
the legislation harming the defense's ability to present a case _is_ new, as you were saying.
Lim, Claire SH, Bernardo S. Silveira, and James M. Snyder. "Do judges’ characteristics matter? ethnicity, gender, and partisanship in texas state trial courts." American Law and Economics Review 18.2 (2016): 302-357.
Are you going to give me more fog or do you actually want to honestly debate me?
I don't want to debate you, because I agree with you
Yay me.
except on the small matter of _the courts_ getting worse.
I don't think that _the courts are getting worse_.
Okay, I'm not sure if that's some kind of nitpicking, but I'll give you the benefit of doubt there.
I think that the courts have been as bad at the things mentioned in that body of research for the last 40-60 years as they are today.
Fine. I'm just a bird.
Is there any other crime as emotionally charged as rape?
No, not really.
Yes, ordering pineapple on pizza.
The fact that it is emotionally charged leads people to tell people about how emotionally charged it is
Except for the fact that men falsely accused of rape are, to be blunt, rarely go to trial, let alone get convicted
and the emotionality becomes amplified by people hearing others be emotional about it.
Did you get that from a fortune cookie or a feminist infographic? @Ace K
It's called reality dude, but thanks for being a whiner about it.
...
Sorry for being so whiny.
guys
It's in my nature.
calm the fuck down, both of you
this is no way to converse about anything.
If I calmed down any further, you might no longer detect a pulse.
@Ace K If you want to come in here and just stir the pot, you'll be the least missed among us.
