Why do you think police don't do anything and what do you think can be done about it?
I'm not referring to the legal definition of consent. I'm referring to if she, individually, was willing or unwilling.

Calm down. If you don't want to answer if she was willing or not, just say that. I didn't ask about pedophilia being wrong or the legal definition of consent. Those are different discussions.
Do you think the difficulty in proving rape might be a factor in why police don't take it as seriously as say, murder, vandalism, or theft?

So what word would you use to describe if they are forced vs. choosing? That's what I'm referring to. It has nothing to do with the law. It seems you're really focused on the legal definitions, which change depending on the jurisdiction.
I don't agree with that, but I'm also not a criminal justice expert. It seems to me that investigating rape requires actual… investigation. People need to ask questions and learn about very specific relationships in order to paint a clear picture of what's going on. Not always, but if it's easy to find evidence then it's hard to avoid prosecution.
Perhaps private investigators would be better for proving rape allegations. They can scrounge up the evidence and present it to the public so the DA can file charges. I just don't see an incentive for cops to play the role of investigators when they can just drive around and focus on more 'obvious' crimes.
When did I dismiss anyone's experiences?
It depends. My car was broken into and I didn't bother reporting it because I figured the cops wouldn't do anything about it. Same goes for all my friends.
I can see how misogyny can be the reason for ignoring evidence and testimony. I was mostly curious what you thought prevented cops from seeking the evidence in the first place.
Hey, you think you are being reasonable. You are not. You are deliberately prodding someone who has been traumatised, with their trauma. You are inconsiderate and rude, and if you have empathy you will apologise to the lady for being such a dick.
If you want to have that discussion, have it with people who won't be forced to re-live a horrible thing that happened to them. And ask if someone is willing to talk about it before just jumping in with your questions.
Lol, what? You're hurling insults at me left and right while telling me I'm being inconsiderate and rude.
If they don't want to answer, that's completely fine. The question is still there for others who do.
I'm going to block you now. I don't have to put up with this disrespect.
I pointed out what you are doing, politely but firmly. If you think that's an insult, look to your own behaviour. Personally, I'd be pretty mortified to be a rape apologist too.
As to respect, show it to others and you'll get it in return. You weren't (and aren't), so you don't.
I'll tell you what: you explain why you think mine is a bad take, and this guy is not a concern troll "jUsT aSkInG kWeScHuNs" and I'll give you the benefit of the doubt when I read your thoughts. Surprise me.
So you know, you're not alone here. That guy and people like him can go get fucked.
Shut up incel.
