Sex with consent...police Scotland
Discussion
Only men can rape (directly) so it's literally just reflecting the law.
CPS said:
Rape (section 1)
The elements of rape are:
(A) intentionally penetrates the vagina, anus or mouth of another person (B) with his penis;
(B) does not consent to the penetration, and
(A) does not reasonably believe that (B) consents
Penetration of the mouth is included.

t though.
Sorry using my phone thought I had doubled posted it...didn't mean to delete it! I know only men can be done for rape...I was referring to the reference of being a man!! If a woman cant consent and the man has been drinking how is meant to judge capacity?! Also why no empathise on woman sexually assaulting a drunk male
Been discussed many a time.
Answer seems to be because it's always a man's fault. Rapist, victim, alleged Rapist, proved innocent, doesn't really matter, it's always a man's fault.
Feel for the younger generation these days. When I was a lad (cripes I'm only 34) the whole point of going out and drinking was in the hope of getting laid. Nowadays two folk having great fun drunk sex makes the guy a rapist.
It's a man's fault if you weren't aware.

Do you think that sexual assaults by women on men are as common as sexual assaults by men on women? Do you think that there might be a problem with what may be termed rape culture, and that such culture, if it exists, might involve more men as offenders than women? Would you rather that police be focused in their work by reference to real world crime risks, or that they adopt a strictly PC (oof!) position of strict equality in all things?
No doubt some women do falsely allege rape, but others are raped and are inhibited from reporting this. There is a difference between boozy consensual sex (which is fun and fine, even if one or both parties feels a bit regretful the next day), and someone being so drink or drugged that they simply can't give consent (not fun, not fine). No doubt some men are sexually assaulted by women, but is there any realistic basis for suggesting that to be social problem of equivalent scale to the problem of men sexually assaulting women?
I don't see a difference. I don't think there is any great cost in policing it if you include both sexes.
Regardless, easy to say assault on males isn't a problem but by ignoring it you are encouraging the issue to remain hidden. Whats wrong with encouraging people to come forward if the feel they've been wronged. Currently a massive stigma for Man to call for help following domestic violence or sexual assault.
Many will read that and think pah, a man can't be sexualy attacked, they would enjoy it.
Bit like married women should give it up for their husbands. It's their duty after all.

I just worry woman will consent go home with a guy regret it and cry rape the next day!! Im sure guys getting sexually assaulted but are put off from reporting by the attitude you have just shown
also, I can see the threads being a shade more popular than the dashcam ones.
I like always the idea women casually want to go through the process of reporting a rape, be interviewed in exceptional depth by people they have never met, be intimately examined and have samples taken, have all their friends, family and work colleagues know, go to a public court and be intrusively questioned and challenged by a QC, and then see what a jury decide.

And yet it still happens. Random example case: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/10160... (but certainly not an example of what *can* happen to the falsely accused).I suspect you knew this already.
