Even you man boobs and single mom praising chumps should be outraged. Banks was the best high school athlete and was guaranteed scholarships and most likely a million dollar career.
Then a girl he left behind because she was probably a gold digger and he didn't want her tagging along accused him of rape. He spent 5 years in jail and 5 more on probation before she admitted she made it up.
He lost 10 years and she gets away free.

Sports should have nothing to do with this. Falsely accusing someone of rape is one of the worst things you can do to someone, and is probably the worst thing you can verbally do.
False rape accusations are f***ing awful because they harm both sexes. The reputation (if not the whole life) of the male is often destroyed, and it hurts the cases of legitimate victims of rape, as well as marginalizing the weight of their traumatic experiences. There need to be significant penalties that are followed through upon for this sort of case. The perpetrators are far too infrequently charged with perjury, and the punishments are far too light for the damage done by the crime.
My brother was nearly killed ~5 years ago by a woman speeding 20+ miles over the limit through a red light who had two sleeping children in her backseat who T-sectioned into him when he was driving 5 miles under the limit through a green.
There was a cop who basically witnessed this.
Guess who got a majority of the blame?

Also, as bad as it is for a woman to do this and get off with no punishment, in a way I prefer it to be that way. It sounds awful that she's not being punished, but it's less likely that they would fess up if they would also be facing punishment of any sort.
Oh and I had a friend when I was ~19 who was basically tethered to a mother who was chronically drunk, and physically violent with her every single day while both she and her father were continuously complaining about the abuse.
Her mother got bored of her and eventually threw her on the street when she was 16 I believe, and she had to move in with the father after nearly spending a night homeless.
The courts still sided with the mother after this.
Can't forget that one either.

She will be punished socially... Until everyone just forgets about it. Its her CHILD that's going to eat most of it. Her child's life is going to be a nightmare, because the kids won't forget nearly as easily.

Well yeah, there's always social punishments, but let's be honest, the majority of people don't keep up with... anything? She's got 6 months of dirty looks and smack talking and a mean comment every couple of years. Hell,I didn't know about this until this topic, and I don't know her name or what she looks like and I'd say I know more about the case than 90% of Americans. All she has to do to get off almost completely is to move a state or two away from her home town. She potentially has to let go of family and friends that are disgusted with her, but that's probably the worst.
Saying that anyone was okay with false rape accusations before. Is this the "final straw man?" Had to make that pun, but they should definitely throw the book at her. It's a terrible, terrible thing she did.

I'm not entirely sure what point you're getting at here, realo, but this incident is absolutely disgusting and doubly so if she really does get off free. I hope he sues her for everything she's got. This is totally a case deserving of punitive damages.

Yeah Brian Banks is basically the epitome of what western feminism has done. Made it okay for things like this to happen. Made misandry perfectly acceptable.
Yeah, this is my question. Is realo attempting to start a male revolution here or something? Whose head do we need to cut off? Can it please be Maureen Dowd?

I'd love for even five of you to check out that Futurist essay. It's f***ing brilliant and horrifying at the same time. All you guys had better take the red pill as soon as you can because if you wait much longer it's going to be too late and you're going to find yourself strapped with alimony and child support payments, or worse.

From: dethfdddddh | #026 And yet women are less happy then men.
http://www.nber.org/papers/w14969.pdf Read the essay, homie. The guy who wrote it goes in to how feminism has actually led to the decline in overall happiness for women. The main problem with the glorification of single motherhood and 'cougar'hood, women are finding the harsh reality that after they've hit the wall there are no longer opportunities to enjoy happiness with the alpha males they could attract in their 20s.
-- We can't stop here. This is bat country. Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work.
It has also led to a decline in marriage opportunities for sharp careerist women that are slaves to their hypergamous natures. Where once these women would have been fine with the wide selection of men available to them, they now deem these men (rightfully) below them in status and incredibly unattractive. They spend their primes seeking implausible commitment from the host of alpa males they can attract until they hit the wall and suddenly the men they spent their 20s rejecting don't even want them anymore.
It's absolutely f***ing vicious, but it's what's happening.

And yet Ogi Ogas found in A Billion Wicked Thoughts that GMILFS and MILFS were popular pornography search terms. I concede, though, that he recognized that youth was the most popular pornographic topic for men.

how so? How is it not as bad? Not only are your tarnishing or destroying somebody's reputation, but you are lessening the legitimacy of women who ARE being raped by somebody.
fact: most rapes are actually male-on-male due to male prison rape.
not sure if thats true, but even if it is prison statistics should be treated differently from the outside world for reasons I dont think i need to mention.

thats because women have more freedoms now, and with more freedoms comes more frustration. I know it sounds bad, but its true.
Now i dont think all women should be forced to be some housewife or anything (or men should be forced to be a primary breadwinner), and honestly id prefer everyone to have as many opportunities as they can, but they also have to realize that you won't always succeed like your parents and dr. seuss always claimed.
As you get more educated on something, you tend to notice your flaws more and more. When i first started working out when i was 15 I felt like a badass for hitting the gym and gaining muscle. Then as i educated myself on food, workout methods, etc, i realized what i was doing wrong more than what i was doing right. It frustrated, and now 9 years later i still feel like i could be doing better with my workouts.

The previous explanation was that men were not doing their fair share of the housework and childcare, resulting in women being burdened by both employment and domestic labor. Most studies reject this explanation, revealing that men contribute their fair share on the domestic front.
One source of the problem could be men becoming less attractive due to declining testosterone levels and BPA in water bottles. Ogi Ogas suggests that men might not be dominant enough in bed either due to the recent transition to more egalitarian relationships.
Another problem could be the rise in female obesity harming women's self-esteem.
A growing number of scientists see pornography and chronic masturbation as a problem in relationships as well, harming men's ability to feel sexually attracted to their partners.

there are other prominent xenoestrogens that people are exposed to a lot these days but MUCH more than that our problem is social, men aren't raised to be...well, men anymore
Another problem could be the rise in female obesity harming women's self-esteem.
being obese doesn't give you bad self esteem, having bad self esteem makes you obese. people that respect themselves take care of themselves.
Before MRAs (Men's Rights Activists) get mainstream attention. Whether they succeed or not depends on:
1. Which MRAs the media focuses on. The movement will die fast if they emphasize the extremism of Paul Elam over Warren Farrell.
2. Whether the MRAs can expand the movement intellectually. Right now, it's dominated by right-wing libertarians; I have yet to see a left-wing MRA. If it wants to increase its appeal to all Americans and not be seen as a far-right group, the left must be drawn in.
