 |
|
Ok, I'm by no means feminest, some that know me well might even call me a misogynist, but this article really shocked me.
http://www.koreaherald.co.kr/SITE/data/html_dir/2006/07/25/200607250040.asp
A few quotes from the article:
"If a woman cannot prove that she was fighting to the death, the court refuses to recognize it as a rape case," Cho said.
and
"There was a case of a woman who became a quadriplegic after she fell from a three-story motel as she was escaping from a man who was raping her. The Supreme Court acquitted him of the charge of injuring by misadventure, saying he did not expect her to jump off the balcony," Cho said.
This is seems...awful. |

| Korea's society and culure is stronly male-orientated. It's legal syatem reflects this imbalance. This rape law is a shcking example of the sexist laws that litter Korean statute books |

I advocate a good slap or the threat of a good slap. One problem with rape in this country is there aren't enough people willing to play big brother to the victim and do what the justice system failed to do.
Incidentally, I know a girl who was nearly raped by a married man. He was dragging her for a couple blocks through busy streets, and she was kicking and screaming. Finally she got away. She was afraid to turn him into the police because she was afraid it would break up his marriage. Oh boo hoo. |

| Lee said society treats victims of sexual assault with much suspicion and criticism, questioning whether they actually brought the incident on themselves or even enjoyed it. |
Its hard to tell I suppose when traditional Korean roles dictate the man has to force himself on a protesting woman protecting her virginity. "No woman is allowed to openly enjoy sex".
So Korea is now in 1953? last year they were in about 1951. |

| I don't even think any apologists will touch this one. It's funny how they stay away from issues like this isn't it? Those rape laws are barbaric. Korea will never advance as a nation until they start treating their women much better. |

No apologist, but I'll "touch" it, here: I wonder what the rape laws are like in all the other countries of the world. |

Don't point the finger at other countries.
Like Chris Rock said "Well, they're f'ed up, we can be f'ed up too! That's ignorant!"
Anyways, back to the orginal topic, these laws are scary. |

And I wonder what the relevance of your question would be. That is to say, how would men getting away with rape in another country make it acceptable for men to get away with it in Korea? |

But what about America? Let's not forget that the system makes it pretty easy to file an allegation of rape, evidence be damned.
Just to look at what's going on with the Duke lacrosse players rape case, it makes me think the whole system is tilted far too much in far of the so-called victim.
! The drunken black stripper with the long criminal record and history of making false accusations...lied.
� Stripper made a false claim of rape by three boys in 1996.
� Stripper made a false claim of kidnapping in 1998
� Stripper charged with larceny, auto theft, and trying to kill a police officer in 2002
� 1st round of DNA shows no link to the lacrosse team.
� 2nd round of DNA shows no link to the lacrosse team
� DNA proves stripper had sex with boyfriend/pimp which accounts for the �rape kit� evidence of recent sexual activity.
� Innocent boy who picked up finger nail and threw it in the trash left his DNA on the fake press-on nail and will be charged for rape.
The stripper�s account of the night has serious integrity issues:
1) First she claimed 20 boys raped her, then she narrowed it down to 3 in a bathroom
a. The bathroom is absolutely and completely devoid of any evidence of a rape. Where is her DNA? Urine, blood, vaginal fluid, saliva, or tears?
b. Many people�s DNA were found under her nails but none from the innocent lacrosse boys.
c. She lied about losing her fake finger nails in a desperate struggle in the small enclosed bathroom, but pictures show that she removed her nails before inadequately performing her routine. No scratches were found on any of the innocent lacrosse boys� bodies.
d. The 2 innocent boys she �eeny meeny miney moed� to be her rapists weren�t even at the party the time she claimed the rape occurred. She claims that she�s 100% sure, but she told her father that she�s not sure.
e. She took drugs before coming to the house, something illegal.[/quote] |

The vast majority of sexual assault cases reported are NOT false lies. If you believe otherwise, you're part of the problem.

I got tired of upsetting Homer and others who have or would have a daughter raised in this country.
The ways Korean men treat women and animals are... troubling.
Women have it bad here despite the sun some try to shine.
(And I will not qualify the statements with "some", "many" or other terms less than generalized stark statements that are VERY hard to take as OVERgeneralized.)
Gender relations are a good quarter century behind here. |

No one is saying the vast majority are false lies. And Korea is not 25 years behind, they are pre-suffrage days behind. And begs the question, in a country that women can vote in, and that is supposedly democratic, why do women not stand up? Seems like women in Korea are a little too comfortable with their position of being supported financially, and in a country with high divorce rates, this is strange that it is still so backwards. Still stand by what I said about the USA.
