Re: My overall take on the discussion

By this logic, if you believe that the number of false claims is smaller than the actual number of false rape claims then you are saying that some innocent people are lying and calling them rapists.

Yes, if you believe that the actual number of false rape claims is smaller than the number that are classified as false, you clearly believe that some people who are considered innocent are actually rapists. How is that obviously bullshit?

he's saying that's how the real law resolves

Note his lack of citations. However, you don't actually seem to be disagreeing that Ted said that it's not rape if both people are drunk enough that they are unable to know that the other party is too drunk to give consent.

Yes, in the sense that Ted is willing to criticize someone even if that someone is a victim.

Great. You agree that Ted is a victim blamer. You just don't think there's anything wrong with that. That's a logically consistent position for you to take, but it's not what you said originally.
