Show A Quick response to the issue of rape Dear Editor I wrote about the William Kennedy Smith rape trial because because because be be- cause I I thought it disgusting that Smith admitted having sex with a woman that he found disgusting Furthermore Furthermore Furthermore Further Further- more things like sexual harassment and rape are very hard for women to prove Why do men get falsely accused accused accused ac ac- of rape Its It's a rare minority who do it for notoriety or money Usually its it's because a man used someone someone someone some some- one he didn't care about for mere mere physical gratification Should it be so surprising that the abused partners feel exploited Weren't they Heres Here's th the thing Men who get falsely accused of rape are usually guilty of having taken r advantage of someone Someone who is all mixed up emotionally someone wasted on alcohol or drugs someone too ignorant to realize that doing sex with somebody does not mean that your partner gives a darn about you you someone someone like that is vulnerable Too many men think its it's okay to use women or other men for that matter for mere self Few women are capable of doing that M Most st women expect something more to come from even a one night nightstand stand stand deluded deluded though they are I think its it's time for men to learn to control themselves It would save them a lot of false accusations Its It's almost always a case of the man saying I didn't rape her She agreed Maybe so But he was foolish and selfish to have sex with her I think the reason some men get so angry when I say this stuff is because they know its it's true but want to justify self- self centered serving self-serving be be- havior When it comes to sex women are the ones who risk pregnancy Not men Watch out though You might get your just desserts guys You can get AIDS and venereal disease from women Sm Sincerely re f Gloria Quick I t |
