The expanded definition of rape now requires no signs of force or coercion.

Reduced to he said/she said, rape laws not only allow but encourage false reports or--worse--threats of false reports.

Such threats become extortion when the accuser offers, in exhange for something of value, not to submit her false report to authorities.

Where is the statistical evidence that such things happen? Can you imagine that, handed such a weapon, it isn't used? Such threats are impossible to track, because they are not reported.

How can a man complain to authorities about the threat of a false charge of rape without running the risk that the false charge will actually be made to authorities. The impossibility of extracting oneself from the trap is what makes extortion what it is.

In the face of current harrassment and rape laws, can anyone still believe that an all powerful patriarchy exists but the hidden matriarchy does not exist?
