Our American legal system

If you think our legal system is fair to men, I suggest you read this horror story from the LA Times about a man who was falsely accused by his ex-girlfriend of a brutal sexual assault. In an attempt to separate this loving father from their 5 year old son, the woman staged an elaborate farce to make it look like he violently beat and raped her.

On nothing more than a woman’s word, and external physical damage that she apparently inflicted upon herself and her home, the man was arrested, stripped naked, and held in a solitary jail cell for 83 days without bail. When the case was finally dropped, he emerged to a destroyed reputation and continued harassment by the woman in the form of a restraining order application.

All told, the woman succeeded in preventing him from seeing his son for 8 months. But despite the obvious fact this woman deliberately lied, she was never charged of a crime and was able to maintain partial custody of her son.

Here are some highlights:

Why do men cheat?

Because they can. It couldn't be that simple could it? I mean there must be a more satisfying answer, right? Right? Arrogance, culture wars, shifting moral standards, risk-taking, thrill-seeking... or they're horny and they think they can get away with it. Or just horny.

And another thing. Please don't compare rape with having an affair.
