Artappraiser , remarked that expensive private boys -St. Grarklesex- had some 'splaining to do .Segregation of boys brimming with testosterone may be for different reasons as counter productive as segregation by race,

And the particular fallacy had me grinding my teeth re Kavanaugh blithely insisting on corroboration for the uniquely uncorroborateable .

Didn't elicit the thundering response one complacently awaits. Not even from Peter.

Reminded of a Post (Boston one )editorial cartoon in late June 1940. Churchill standing on the White Cliffs shaking his fist at the sky (maybe the vanishing trail of a Hurricane ) captioned "Well then alone"..

A couple of hundred yards from Westminster. De Gualle was shaking a fist at the sky. Days before as newly appointed Minister of State for Defense, dining of course at the Hotel Splendide he went in silence "to present my respects " to Marshall Petain who "shook me by the hand without a word".

"Under the outer shell the years had gnawed at his character......Old age is a shipwreck. That we might be spared nothing, the old age of Marshall Petain was to identify itself with the shipwreck of France."

Rather joining the wreck De Gaulle put his wife and children on the last boat and caught a British plane..His official position was gone. He left the hotel he sat in a park. " I seemed to myself,alone as I was, and deprived of everything like a man on the shore of an ocean proposing to swim across."

Then he did.Also.

The scourge of Rape would take the combined efforts of Winston and Charles in their prime.But even with that commitment it will never be done by just tweaking the laws which not only are ineffective but are designed to be so.

End of sermon.

I doubt that - any system

I doubt that - any system that requires men to consistently break the male wall of silence simply won't work. It will be through deterrance and evidence and technology that there's some chance, but even that's aa hard row to hoe.

There's a harsh reality about rape. Good men can't change bad men. Good men can't stop bad men from raping women. Women have to report rape to the police every time it happens. They have to bear the burden of leading the fight against rape. It will mean not just fighting back against the rapists but against a criminal justice system that doesn't support them. Then good men can stand with them in that fight. It will be a long hard fight but that's the only way to change the criminal justice system and change society. The criminal justice system must be confronted to change and that can only happen if women confront it by reporting rapes.
