Response to Sydney

I agree with Sydney on this issue.  To be honest knowing Sydney and her usual comments in class I thought this was going to be some outrageous feminist paper.  But thankfully I was wrong.  I didn’t really know this was a topic that was a problem in society seeing how I have never been accused of rape.  But as I looked deeper into it, this is a very prevalent problem men have.  Women usually get the advantage in these situations because men are usually thought of as pigs.  I am proud to say that I am not a pig and all men are given a terrible stereotype when it comes to sex.  Men are always the ones who are blamed for rape, sexual harassment, and sexual abuse.  Now yes men usually are the culprit, but men are raped, abused, and harassed by women.  Now probably not as much but this should be brought to the attention of society as well.  Women are not all sparkles and rainbows.  Some women can be mean cold blooded killers.  Women are just as effective at doing bad things as men are. 

Women that do bring false rape charges to court should be punished.  Accusing someone of rape is a very serious thing, that goes on a man’s record and when future jobs look at that no one wants to hire a rapist even if they weren’t convicted.  This ruins a man’s reputation.  Also the amount of cost that goes into lawyers and court fees is astronomical.  No man should have to pay for all this if they never did anything wrong. 

What I think this all comes down to is some people are desperate for attention.  Women just say they were raped to get attention and cause a scene by doing this.  And if they win the case they will get a lot of money and aid in the future.  If they don’t win nothing happens to the women, it’s a win win situation for women to accuse men of rape.  That is a sad realization that some women are taking advantage of.
