Anarchists are not intellectual to put it mildly

The Indestructible Jack Lucas,

In 1942 Jacklyn H. Lucas enlisted in the Marine Corps, not an unusual thing to do during World War II, but certainly unusual at the age of 14.  A boy who looked much older than his years, Lucas claimed he was 17, forged his mother’s signature, and was inducted into the Corps no questions asked.  Jack Lucas underwent Marine Corps training at Parris Island and qualified as a sharpshooter and heavy machine gunner.  However after training, Lucas was sent from one menial assignment to the next, first in the lower 48, then at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

By 1945 Lucas was becoming bored with peaceful service, and on January 10th he went AWOL and stowed away on a ship bound for Iwo Jima.  Despite going AWOL, Lucas was given a combat assignment and attached to the 5th Marine Division.

Upon hitting the beaches Lucas and his fellow Marines were sprayed with murderous Japanese gunfire.  Perhaps the only Marine to invade Iwo Jima unarmed, Lucas immediately picked up a rifle and returned fire. During the battle, it was his squad’s duty to clear out a machine gun nest near a deep ravine.  It was then that a grenade landed in the middle of his squad.  Without thinking, Lucas leaped upon the grenade, determined to use his body as shield to protect his comrades.  Then another grenade landed nearby.  Lucas grabbed that grenade as well, and stuffed it under his torso.  When the two grenades exploded his body was thrown into the air.  Amazingly, Lucas was still alive, though seriously wounded.  Covered from head to toe with shrapnel wounds, Lucas was evacuated to a hospital ship.  Over the next seven months of recovery, Lucas would undergo 21 surgeries to remove 250 pieces of shrapnel from his body.  He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions (the youngest Marine to receive the award), as well as the Bronze Star and Purple Heart.

After the war, Jack Lucas returned home, resumed his education as a ninth grader, graduated high school, and graduated college with a business degree.  He married three times.  His marriage with his second wife didn’t go so well, as she hired a hitman to kill him.  Fortunately he was able to fend off the attack.

In 1961, he rejoined the military, this time joining the US Army and becoming a paratrooper so that he could “conquer his fear of heights”.  During a training jump, his two parachutes failed to open, and he fell 3,500 feet before slamming into the ground.  Miraculously, despite screaming to the earth at terminal velocity, Lucas walked away from the accident unscathed.  From 1961 to 1965, Lucas served as a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne.  When he finally retired he had risen to the rank of captain.

From my quick research, phase 1, which started pre-Disney, had a 6-person panel of experts who made sure the movies worked with each other and were faithful to the comics with half the members being active comics writers and editors.

Phase 2…possibly did not. It’s not clear. I can’t find anything about the panel in stuff written about phase 2, but research for phase 3 says the experts were still being consulted up to that point 3. But Phase 2 did rely more heavily on Joss Whedon as the guy keeping the stories straight because he was given Age of Ultron. So the pieces had to be maneuvered to fit the story he wanted told. And he wanted Age of Ultron to be a standalone that didn’t need background viewing to be understood. Which meant there couldn’t be development of relationships outside of that movie.

By phase 3 in 2015, the MCU was answering to Disney and not Marvel. The experts were gone. And none of the avengers except maybe Cap and Black Widow or Black Widow and Hawkeye liked each other. I’m not sure they even respected each other.

The MCU is currently on phase 6.

He voted for a communist. Just what did he expect to happen?

The chapter John Brooke:

To put it simply, men who are falsely accused and convicted of rape often become the victims of brutal, reoccurring sexual assault during their sentences. So when feminists downplay false accusations what they are really saying is that innocent men who are sexually assaulted over and over again in a confined space with no hope of escape or help either deserve it or aren’t at all important.

This is what happens to rapists in prison:

DO THE FALSELY ACCUSED DESERVE THIS VERY SAME TREATMENT? DO THE FALSELY ACCUSED DESERVE THIS VERY SAME TREATMENT? DO THE FALSELY ACCUSED DESERVE THIS VERY SAME TREATMENT? DO THE FALSELY ACCUSED DESERVE THIS VERY SAME TREATMENT?

97% of rapists never spend a day in jail? Wrong.

According to the most recent analysis of data involving sexual assault and sex offenders, felony convictions are sought for 80% of all rape arrests, as seen here:

Information on the adjudication of rape offenders is also contrary to the 97% statistic, as seen here:

The time a rapist served may be less than the sentence imposed by the courts but nonetheless it is still contrary to the idea that 97% of all rapists do not serve one day in jail, as seen here:

And while it can be argued that punishments for rape are not harsh enough, there are virtually no punishments for false accusers who ruin lives and as previously mentioned above are responsible for innocent men being sexually assaulted on a constant basis in prison. For vindictive women there is only reward. Therefore, what is the deterrent if false accusers are rarely punished?

Examining the 2-8% false rape statistic and the numbers it represents

The widely accepted statistic for false rape accusations is between 2-8% even though 14 out of 20 studies have placed them at a much higher rate. But even if we accept the 2-8% statistic, the numbers are not low as the statistic would suggest. For example, in 2009 there were 88,097 rapes reported according to the Department of Justice. If we take 5%, the median of 2-8% that people widely accept as the true statistic of false accusations, that would mean out of 88,097 reported rapes that 4,404 men were falsely accused of rape. That’s four thousand four hundred and four men falsely accused of rape just in 2009 alone. 

Just let that sink in for a minute.

That is in no way a small number and quite frankly a very disturbing realization. Now apply the same calculation to every figure since 1990:

1990 // 5,127 falsely accused 1991 // 5,329 falsely accused 1992 // 5,453 falsely accused 1993 // 5,300 falsely accused 1994 // 5,110 falsely accused 1995 // 4,873 falsely accused 1996 // 4,812 falsely accused 1997 // 4,807 falsely accused 1998 // 4,657 falsely accused 1999 // 4,470 falsely accused 2000 // 4,508 falsely accused 2001 // 4,543 falsely accused 2002 // 4,761 falsely accused 2003 // 4,694 falsely accused 2004 // 4,754 falsely accused 2005 // 4,717 falsely accused 2006 // 4,739 falsely accused 2007 // 4,593 falsely accused 2008 // 4,593 falsely accused 2009 // 4,404 falsely accused

That’s 96,244 men falsely accused from 1990 to 2009 according to the figures provided by the Department of Justice in correlation to the median of 5% from the 2-8% false rape accusation statistic.

Now consider the fact that 14 out of 20 studies on the prevalence of false rape accusations place them at a much higher rate, as seen here:

False rape accusations: from propaganda to reality

So, lately, this so-called infographic (which spreads nothing but disinformation) has been circulated on Tumblr:

Since so many people don’t seem to realize the numerous faults in it, I shall attempt to cast light on them and update the above graphic accordingly.

1.) It lists victims of false accusations in the “not reported” group I wonder if the people at the Enliven Project even know what a false rape accusation IS, seeing as they apparently think it doesn’t involve reporting it. The correct place for them would be in the “reported” group, as follows:

2.) Padding data with “unreported” cases It’s quite fascinating to see all the supposed statistics on what people never report. Newsflash, everyone: statistics are DIRECTLY BASED ON REPORTS. You can estimate the number of unreported cases, but that’s called GUESSING, and has no place in actual statistics. Thus, the “unreported” block should be removed in its entirety.

(Funnily enough, upon removing the “unreported” group, it comes down to exactly 100 figures, and they represented the 2% of all cases being false with 2 figures… Proof of padding? You be the judge.)

3.) It assumes “guilty unless proven innocent” Note how before its removal, the “unreported” block actually said “rapists”? Apparently, while false accusation cases should be held to the highest standard of evidence (requiring one not only that they did not commit rape, but that they had absolutely no means to commit it in the first place), rape cases should be held to the lowest, and if someone says they have been raped, we should just take it at face value (unlike ANY OTHER crime) and consider the accused a rapist right away! Blatantly skewed. Truth is, without decisive evidence, a case cannot be proven, thus it could be one, it could be the other. And since for the purposes of this reasoning, the difference between whether or not a case reaches court doesn’t matter, the two groups will be meshed together here.

And finally…

4.) Calculating with the lowest possible number of false accusations Even according to the Enliven Project, the reports of (conclusively) false cases range from 2% to 8%. Why, then, did they choose to use the absolute lowest value? To diminish its importance, of course. Unlike them, I will be fair, and instead of using the maximum value, use its median: 5%.

Here’s reality, stripped of propaganda. 10% of cases are conclusively true. 5% of cases are conclusively false. And any amount of the remaining 85% could be true/false.

And you expect us to believe that even though one-third of the conclusive cases have been proven false, none of the remaining 85% are?

But why would a woman lie about rape?

This question is often asked as if to suggest that women do not lie about being raped even though its been proven that women will lie about being raped for any amount of reasons including covering up an affair to having an excuse for skipping work to not getting enough sympathy from friends to not wanting to pay a $13 cab fare to simply not liking the men they’re with anymore to motivations of racism to being obsessed with the victim to no reason at all among many, many more absolutely absurd reasons. Asking this question implies that women are saints when the truth is that they are just about as much a saint as men are. Its important to remember that people are individuals and everyone has motivations and agendas, some being criminal or vindictive. Some people have mental issues and are sociopaths. So please, stop acting like women have no reason to lie about being raped because you just make yourself out to be someone who isn’t at all in touch with reality or how completely horrible people can be.

“Those who suffer genuine rape are undermined by people like you. You undermine the whole system of justice.” - Judge Ian Pringles, talking to a false rape accuser 

Rape is a very serious crime that should come with very harsh punishments. However, we should be very diligent in separating the truth from the lies and this means asking the tough questions and getting information no matter what.

The feminist outcry of “rape apologist” and “victim blamer” only works on those simple minded enough to fall for buzzwords that hardly make up for lack of a good argument. While its true that rape can sometimes be hard to prove, false accusations are virtually impossible to prove especially when no proof can be provided to support either claim which only comes down to “he said, she said” and is open to personal opinion.

The overall truth is that women can use the power of being perceived as victims to their advantage while men cannot. Whether they choose to use this advantage or not really depends on their character. Obviously not all women are this way but many are and its an insult to the victims of false accusations to suggest that because the rate is supposedly low that it means they are inconsequential. Feminists will believe this up until someone they love is falsely accused and when that happens, what then? 

False accusations are the sole reason for doubt when a real victim comes forward to make a report. Essentially, false accusations are more responsible for under reporting than the so-called rape culture. The sooner feminists and others realize this, the sooner real victims will find justice instead of a cloud of doubt.
