* for every lying female there are 50 other lying females whose stories were
so bizarre that not even the dumb cops believed them. There's only a 5%
conviction rate in the UK and most of those guys were railroaded.
Furthermore, why aren't the cops rounding up these drunk and incapacitated
females and throwing them into lockup until they are sober? The laws are
still on the books to arrest incompetent people who are too drunk to look
after themselves. These drunk bitches are a menace to men.

* well since the false allegations are 100x the actual rapes, let's deal
with them first.And the area of law is not at all "grey", it was made such
by nasty feminists who regarded anything as rape even a husband or bf having
sex with his female lol

They should be sued for defamation but since practically all females have no
money it would be a waste of time.

Stop referring to the lying bitch as a "teenager" ( a made up term) She is
an Adult. No one forced her to drink. It's called voluntary intoxication
under the law and is not a defence to drink driving.
