No, my point is that women are just as bad as men because of the preconceived notion that men cant hit them because they are women.
Read the article about Amber Portwood to see my point.

Here let me even Google it for you.

More rape culture

Anonymous · Aug 4, 2013

“Don’t feed the trolls” is common Internet rationale. But after a barrage of recent threats on Twitter, female leaders in the U.K. decided they weren’t going to take the abuse quietly.
After a week in which at least seven female politicians and journalists in the U.K. received rape, death, and bombs threats via social media, and after British police made two arrests in connection with the case, Twitter has promised to to start enforcing a “Report Tweet” button on its site. The harassment was apparently spurred by—of all things—a push to put iconic British author Jane Austen on a bank bill.
After journalist and activist Caroline Criado-Perez successfully campaigned for Austen’s likeness to grace Britain’s £10 banknote on June 24, she started receiving about 50 threats per hour for 12 hours via Twitter—some of which are mind-bogglingly offensive—and retweeted them to her followers. User @CarolineIsDead tweeted, “I’m going to pistol whip you over and over until you lose consciousness [...] and then burn ur flesh.” User @FatTonyCologino tweeted, “Everybody jump on the rape train….> @CCriadoPerez is conductor.”

This guy clearly took his clues from the old-school Anonymous, the "Internet Hate Machine" of utterly decentralized nihilistic fuckery that was the Web's biggest villain before the so-called "moralfags" took over. The latter have turned Anonymous into effectively an online political action committee, specializing in campaigns against rape culture and copyright law, as many do-gooder causes as there are hashtags, and, now, that ultimate engine of mainstream political expression: the fundraiser.

Dylan Farrow, Woody Allen and rape culture: The essential reading list

A list of the best, most challenging writing that's come about as a result of Farrow's willingness to speak out

Woody Allen’s Good Name
By AARON BADY

This is a basic principle: until it is proven otherwise, beyond a reasonable doubt, it’s important to extend the presumption of innocence to Dylan Farrow, and presume that she is not guilty of the crime of lying about what Woody Allen did to her.

If you are saying things like “We can’t really know what happened” and extra-specially pleading on behalf of the extra-special Woody Allen [Hi, The Daily Beast!], then you are saying that his innocence is more presumptive than hers. You are saying that he is on trial, not her: he deserves judicial safeguards in the court of public opinion, but she does not.

The damnably difficult thing about all of this, of course, is that you can’t presume that both are innocent at the same time. One of them must be saying something that is not true. But “he said, she said” doesn’t resolve to “let’s start by assuming she’s lying,” except in a rape culture, and if you are presuming his innocence by presuming her mendacity, you are rape cultured. It works both ways, or should: if one of them has to be lying for the other to be telling the truth, then presuming the innocence of one produces a presumption of the other’s guilt. And Woody Allen cannot be presumed to be innocent of molesting a child unless she is presumed to be lying to us. His presumption of innocence can only be built on the presumption that her words have no credibility, independent of other (real) evidence, which is to say, the presumption that her words are not evidence. If you want to vigorously claim ignorance–to assert that we can never know what happened, in that attic–then you must ground that lack of knowledge in the presumption that what she has said doesn’t count, and we cannot believe her story.

To be blunt: I think Woody Allen probably did it, though, of course, I could be wrong. But it’s okay if I’m wrong. For two reasons. First, because my opinion is not attached to a juridical apparatus—because I have not been empowered by jails and electric chairs and states of exception to destroy people’s lives—it isn’t necessary for me to err heavily on the side of “we need to be really fucking sure that the accused did it.” It’s a good thing, generally, that juries are empowered to say “We think the accused is probably guilty, but we’re not sure beyond a reasonable doubt, so we will not convict.” That bar is set high for a reason; if you’re going to lock a person in a cage for a long time, you need to be really sure. But we are also empowered to say the same thing. We are also empowered to say “We think Woody Allen probably molested a seven year old.” And because we are not in a court of law, we don’t even need to say the second part. The fact that we will not convict him doesn’t even need to be implied. He is not, after all, on trial.

The second reason it’s okay if I’m wrong is that I’m probably not wrong. It’s much more likely that I’m right. Because I am not on Woody Allen’s jury, I can be swayed by the fact that sexual violence is incredibly, horrifically common, much more common than it is for women to make up stories about sexual violence in pursuit of their own petty, vindictive need to destroy a great man’s reputation. We are in the midst of an ongoing, quiet epidemic of sexual violence, now as always. We are not in the midst of an epidemic of false rape charges, and that fact is important here. All things being equal, it’s more likely that the man who has spent a lifetime and a cinematic career walking the line of pedophilia (to put it mildly) is a likely candidate. All things being equal, the explanation that doesn’t require you to imagine a conspiracy of angry women telling lies for no reason is probably the right one. It’s a good thing that juries can’t think this way, that they can’t take account of Occam’s Razor, because—in theory—the juridical system needs to get it right every single time (or at least hold tenaciously to that ambition). But you and I can recognize the bigger picture, because we aren’t holding a person’s life in our hands. Especially in situations like this one, the overwhelmingly more likely thing is that he did it. The overwhelmingly less likely thing is that a pair of bitter females—driven by jealousy or by the sheer malignity of the gender—have been lying about him for decades.

What is the burden of proof for assuming that a person is lying? If you are a famous film director, it turns out to be quite high. You don’t have to say a word in your defense, in fact, and people who have directed documentaries about you will write lengthy essays in the Daily Beast tearing down the testimony of your accusers. You can just go about your life making movie after movie, and it’s fine. But if you are a woman who has accused a great film director of molesting you when you were seven, the starting point is the presumption that, without real evidence, you are not telling the truth. In the court of public opinion, a woman accusing a great film director of raping her has no credibility which his fans are bound to respect. He has something to lose, his good name. She does not, because she does not have a good name. She is living in hiding, under an assumed name. And when she is silent, the Daily Beast does not rise to her defense.

In a rape culture, there is no burden on us to presume that she is not a liar, no necessary imperative to treat her like a person whose account of herself can be taken seriously. It is important that we presume he is innocent. It is not important that we presume she is not making it all up out of female malice. In a rape culture, you can say things like “We can’t really know what really happened, so let’s all act as if Woody Allen is innocent (and she is lying).” In a rape culture, you can use your ignorance to cast doubt on her knowledge; you can admit that you have no basis for casting doubt on Dylan’s statement, and then you can ignore her account of herself. A famous man is not speaking, so her testimony is not admissible evidence. His name is Woody Allen, and in a rape culture, that good name must be shielded and protected. What is her name?

One day after the rape, she was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital in Duluth, where she would spend nearly three days in a room in a locked psychiatric ward while investigators tried to determine the veracity of her story.

“The room she was in was dark and cold … and they locked her in at night and all she had was a blanket,” nurse examiner Theresa Flesvig said in testimony filed with the court.

Only later did she receive a complete examination for evidence of rape. In court testimony, Flesvig said the laceration that resulted from the rape was the “biggest tear” she had ever seen in her six years of work in the field.

Indian Politicians: Forgive Men for Rape; Hang Women

Two politicians in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh have made controversial comments on rape, sparking anger among activists trying to combat violence and discrimination against women.

Speaking at a political rally on Thursday in Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state, Mulayam Singh Yadav, the chief of the state’s ruling Samajwadi Party, said men should not be hanged for rape.

“They are boys. Mistakes happen,” Mr. Yadav told a crowd of supporters. “We will try and change these laws.” Mr. Yadav was referring to the death sentences handed out to three men for gang-raping a photojournalist last year.
