Kylian Mbappe accused of rape - AIBU to be a bit shocked

Woman = adult, female human being.

Female = female animal or plant.

Dictionary definitions for you. Using female instead of woman dehumanises women.

On what basis do you 'not agree' with fairly statistically reliable evidence?

I absolutely hate this phrase

I don’t have a hatred of females nor am I dehumanising women, I am simply speaking of this case and not all cases, hence me saying female and not females!!

As a female and a rape survivor I don’t agree that females crying rape is rare, it’s simply not statically reported.

Speaking of this case only, as I said innocent until proven guilty.

Unfortunately rapists don’t come with a flashing sign so that you can avoid them. It may be shocking that a player you liked has been accused, many professionally successful men have been proved to be evil irl. eg didn’t Ronaldo pay off an American woman who made rape allegations ?

If men don't want to be accused of rape then maybe they should stop doing shit that could be construed as rapey? If a man has sex with a woman and the acts that took place were so close to crossing the line that the women has to ask herself afterwards "was that rape?" then he is a piece of shit who does not respect women and has no business having sex with them, he is also chancing that one day a woman is going to answer that question with "yes" and is going to report him to the police.

If a man doesn't want to be accused of rape or sexual assault then he needs to be aware of a woman's boundaries, respect those boundaries, and he needs to always obtain enthusiastic consent. Instead we have too many men knocking around who think a woman... sorry, female ... is nothing but a collection of holes put there for his pleasure, who think "no" is a starting point for negotiations rather than the final word, and who act like the victim when they face consequences for being a sexual predator.

Oh, I definitely don't believe him. I am pretty sure there is truth to this. Sweden is not the kind of country where you can falsely accuse someone, get away with it, and receive lots of money. I don't see what would be in it for the woman.

A man denies committing rape when accused and we all assume he's telling the truth? Since when?

This.

Overpaid wankers who think they can force themselves on women and girls just because they excel at football, they think they're untouchable.

It is extremely rare for men to be falsely accused of raped, whereas men committing rape is not rare at all

Yup.

Sigh. Although the statistics are difficult to calculate for many reasons, it is very rare. Unlike rape.

Female. Man. What a surprise.

Referring to women as "females" is usually a telltale sign that someone is a raging misogynist especially when they refer to men as men rather than "males". Why do you feel the need to dehumanise women?

As for "crying rape", the number of false rape allegations made is tiny.

That was his first comment on social media after it came out. Since then he's been silent.

There have been occasions where this has indeed happened!!!

What do you mean by this?

Why @ilovesooty? I don't know much about him, so curious.

The whole visit was really odd actually. He came to Stockholm for a night went to a nightclub then flew back the next day. There was no official reason for him to come to Stockholm as far as the press is aware. Suddenly he was just papped leaving a club, the next morning the police are at his hotel checking his room.

it's true though that the rape laws in Sweden are excellent although the sentences are too short. A man was just sentenced for rape against children after having coerced them to show their bodies over the internet, so he was never physically near the children but it was still considered rape. I don't know if that's the same in the UK but I was surprised that it was considered rape.

Alleged rapists are named to encourage any other potential victims to come forward, in the UK at least. This started years ago when reporting was rape was even less common than it is now. For victims, knowing you are not the only one, is a huge impetus to report to police.

I think that it's useful to remember that professional footballers are simply people who love and are talented at football and for multiple reasons have had the opportunity to progress to become famous.

The fact that they are now household names says nothing about who they are as people and so we shouldn't be surprised if they are charged with something illegal, whatever it may be.

We might have thought that seeing as they have what many would class as the dream life means that they should be less likely to throw it away, however I don't think it works like that.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of elite sportsmen who have never raped someone.

I wouldn't classify Mbappe as a decent human being, regardless of his alleged sexual activities.
