DeusExMachinima posted:Statistically, it's extremely unlikely that a woman is lying when she makes a rape accusation. We need to take a serious look at how burden of proof is assessed in these court cases. People talk about how the 2nd Amendment can allow individuals to cost society at large, and likewise the right to plead the 5th can potentially be entirely antisocial, exists solely for the benefit of the individual, and if you look at the rest of the world, not a very common "right." There can be exceptions to every right, there can be one here. A privileged rapist doesn't have a right to be silent about his history in court or his likely future plans to continue victimizing a historically oppressed demographic. Lot of people shitposting in this thread, but I'm singling you out because there's a chance you're actually sincere about this. False rape accusations are uncommon, and probably not actually much higher than false accusations of other crimes, but certainly not unheard of. To say that "A privileged rapist doesn't have a right to be silent" is to question-begging; the whole point of a trial is to determine whether the defendant really is a rapist (or a murderer, or a thief, or any other type of criminal). Edit: Helsing said it a lot better than I did.
