Date rape is just a "disagreement between two lovers"

So last month, David Cameron made his stance on rape abundantly clear. If he is to make PM (god forbid), I welcome these proposed changes in law.

Unfortunately, John Redwood, a senior Conservative party member has rather muddied the waters, apparently "backed up" by Cameron, with comments made on his blog about the different ways stranger rape and date rape should be treated and prosecuted.

From his blog:

"They [the Labour government] decided to set date rape alongside stranger rape. Again, none of us want men to rape women, but there is a difference between a man using unreasonable force to assault a woman on the street, and a disagreement between two lovers over whether there was consent on one particular occasion when the two were spending an evening or night together.

"Labour's doctrine of equivalence has led to jury scepticism about many rape claims, in situations where it is the man's word against the woman's and where they had agreed to spend the evening or night together. Young men do not want to have to take a consent form and a lawyer on a date, just as young women have every right to go on a date and to say 'No', having it respected."


Disgusted beyond belief. Only just over 5% of rape trials end in prosecution in the UK, and the vast majority of those are already stranger rape cases. Crisis centres across the country are closing because of lack of public funding. Much as I loathe Vernon Coaker, in this instance I agree with him. I await a statement from Cameron with baited breath...

Redwood appears to have attained seniority by pissing off anyone and everyone he can reach since 1994. I do hope Cameron speaks up fast, and hard, and not just because of this one incident; I think he will, just because so many people would love to be rid of him.

The touchy-feely fluffy we-have-changed-you-know mask of the Tories has slipped and shown their usual vile ugliness and that recently in the guise of John Redwood. So now we have it, rape is just a disagreement. Again, classic woman blaming.

And the palpable silence from David 'call me Dave' Cameron says it all.

Redwood, keep your sexist gob shut!

"two lovers?" Just disgusting...

By the way, maybe you will find interesting Goo-Woman (www.goo-woman.com), a new search engine for women, search for anything and it will show you results related with women. For example, search "science" and it will show the most relevant female scientist in history.

And yet, you and others link to a 'pro-feminist' man of the name Snowdrop Explodes, who posts up his own sordid rape fantasies and confessions of almost comitting violence against a woman, and who doesn't see anything wrong with extreme pornography despite the harm it causes women?
