my response: Oh really JB. Well prove it.
1. Show where it states in the bill "in black and white" that if this bill becomes law it "would require anyone accused of rape to present proof that they got consent there by shifting the burden of proof from the accuser to the accused." And don't just imply things or make assumptions. Prove that what you are claiming is actually written in "black and white" in the bill.
2. Show where it states in "black and white" that this bill actually applies to rape charges and that when someone is legally charged with rape they will be required to present proof that they got consent, and as a result when the case is tried the burden of proof will shift from the accuser to the accused. Prove it instead of just claiming that something exist that doesn't as you so often do.

So why should he put his life and safety on the line for someone else simply because he is a man and the person in trouble is a woman. That doesn't would like equality to me."
my response: I have never said that women's lives are more valuable than men's. Everyone's life is valuable, and that is why good, caring, honorable, unselfish people often will do what they can, including putting their lives and safety on the line at times, to help people (not just men or women) if they can to try to keep them from being raped, murdered, beaten, robbed and other things that will damage the victim regardless of whether they are a man or a woman. Why would a good man who is seeing a man who is smaller than him and does not have a weapon, but is stronger than the woman he is trying to rape, not jump in and try to help her. Because he is selfish and uncaring? Women help men and do things for them all the time. Women (and I am sure your wife does things for you) cook for men, care for their children, do their laundry, care for them when they are ill, take them to the hospital in an emergency or call 911, try to step in and help or call the police if they see them being beaten, robbed, and other things, and sometimes support them if they cannot get a job and are on the verge of losing everything. Good men also care for women and help them when they can when someone is threatening their safety.
Equality does not mean that people are identical. Anyone who thinks that is an idiot. Most men are stronger than women and can fight better than they can. Most women are more nurturing than most men and can care for them and their children better than they can. Men and women are also different in many other ways as well. Equality isn't about treating men and women exactly the same in every instance. It is just about equal pay, equal benefits, equal rights, and things of that nature. If you think it means that women and men should be treated exactly the same in every respect you are an idiot. Do you treat your wife and daughter, and other female family members and friends the exact same way that you treat your male family members and friends? I seriously doubt it, but if you do I feel very sorry for them, because I am sure they don't do that kind of thing to you.
