Jill Saward is a woman who has a site dedicated to rape survivors.
However, many of her opinions are very damaging. You can view her site
at http://www.saward.org Some of the damaging opinions she holds are...
"the difference between date rape and stranger rape is like a gnag
breaking into a house to burgal it and a child stealing sweets from a
friend"
"A man accused of rape could show his signed Condom Consent as evidence
of consent. No consent form, no consent. There is no room for
misunderstandings here. No room for 'I thought she consented'. If the
woman consented, where is her signature?
And there would be no room for a woman to change her mind. Sex would
become an agreement freely entered into. "
"If a woman treats sex simply as entertainment, just a routine part of a
night out - a few drinks, a curry and a quick one in the back seat of a
car with a stranger - does rape have the same traumatic effect as if a
woman is grabbed from behind whilst walking the dog?
The answer has to be no. No other answer makes sense."
"My critics will say I am turning my back on rape victims. That I am
making a distinction between a 'good rapist' and a 'bad rapist'. That
rape is rape is rape - full stop.
They are wrong. And they are dangerous.
Their teaching and preaching, linked to the current moral state of the
nation, is putting lives at risk."
