You have stated quite clearly that you don't believe this
Again you are putting in words that were not said because others dont agree with you.
so its distortion time again. What I said was I dont agree with your terms and usage and believe it's an over simplification, and it would have been better at the forefront of your question had you been actually interested, not clouded by reference to anonymity for unknown purposes
What you actually posted was, "I don't think it sends out any such indication of the type you are suggesting, it's simply a recognition of fact"
By all means clarify what you do mean by answering the question which you have so far refused to do and give the reason why anonymity for victims is necessary to encourage victims of sexual assault to come forward.
If as you claim you know that reporting rates will drop and that offenders will therefore not be prosecuted then why frame your question that way since you later claim to know the answer?
I was always taught that during debates you never ask a question that you don't know the answer to.
If additionally it's to point out that the following as you say, then why confuse it with anonymity rights? Quite frankly some cases will go unreported even with anonymity, but if as you say
it is because of society's attitude towards the victim and the victims own self esteem conditioned by society's attitude.,
then why say
after all we don't live in a third world country where women who are raped or assaulted have anything to be "ashamed" of.
Am I missing something here? You have put my argument in a nutshell. I do believe it is society's attitude in this country towards rape victims that conditions them to believe that there is a reason to feel shame about being raped.
I have stated my position on this matter quite clearly, you have spectacularly failed to do so with regards to your own position. It is probably best to leave it at that.
