JamesH,

Excellent summary of why the changes were made. It would be interesting to see if they had that effect.

Houellebecq: "I'd say it really has more to do with boosting rape figures by including every women who is pinched on the bum."

I do hope that was an intended pun. It made me laugh anyway.

Katie Roiphe p52 (1993), "73 percent of women categorized as rape victim did not define their experience as "rape"' It was Dr Mary Koss, the psychologist conducting the study, WHO DID!"

"these are not self proclaimed victims, then - these are victms according to someone else. From Koss's point of view, these women suffered a false consciousness."

"It is more about a change in sexual politics than a change in sexual behaviour."

Given the number women who jumped on this band wagon, it clearly demonstrates a hostility, if not outright antagonism towards men. Similar types of behaviour are demonstrated by the KKK, the white supremenists etc.

Lets look at a time line of events.

1985, About the same time that Koss published her study, MacKinnon and others were stating things like "heterosexual women were unable to give valid consent, because of socialization."

"any time sex is not initiated by a woman, it is rape." etc etc.

Late 1980's, the legal definition of rape is changed. To such an extent that an attempt at seduction, could also be seen as an attempt of rape.

2000, men must now have a clear YES, from a sober woman who is unaffected by drugs.

More and more laws are being changed to reflect the ideas of MacKinnon, Dowkin and co.

James some things you say are quite interesting, but when you bring in the KKK like you did I see you as a male version of SJF.

On further reflection, it is more about a mob mentality, of which the KKK is an extreme example.

Basically what happens is a certain group, in this case feminists seek to demonise another group, heterosexual men. Thus questionable research tactics are used in order to justify certain bahaviour on the part of feminists.

A more recent example is the global warming debate, and a tactic being used against those who are sceptical about it, is to accuse the sceptics of having a mental illness.

Women have the right to experience sexual pleasure,

Women have the right to say NO. No problem.

what is wrong with this picture?

Human behaviour is very rarely black and white.
