Arguing against reporting the rapes is outright perpetuating rape culture in the modern patriarchy

One time a guy humbly and seriously told me that 80% of college age women had been raped and I was like yes, of course, this is obvious, we do live in a village in a wartorn part of Liberia.

No, not really. Saying it is the responsibility of the rape victim to prevent further attacks from the rapist is shifting the burden of responsibility from the perpetrator to the victim. Being raped is an incredibly traumatic and damaging experience and nearly every individual reacts differently. Choosing not to go forward and deal with even more trauma of a trial, cross examination, public scrutiny (just look at this thread!) is most certainly a factor why some do not.


Do you feel the same if we replace the word rape with any other crime? What about just an assault, or robbery, or whatever?

If not, what makes rape so super special and different from, say, attempted murder? Is it the sex thing that gets your puritanical blood all worked up?

He already went over this, rape victims get antagonized more than other victims, so obviously they don't have to report anything and we need to move directly to the Minority Report method of investigation

i'm reading all these retarded rape posts and still nobody has explained why a victim of a crime doesn't have a responsibility to protect potential future victims by reporting said crime and cooperating with an investigation

unless you are severely autistic it shouldn't be hard to understand why someone who has just experienced extreme emotional and physical trauma wouldn't want to put their entire character on trial and that all of that is multiplied exponentially if you work in a "sexually immoral" job and the person you're accusing is powerful and well liked

so you defend the decision to not report a rape, and feel that there is no responsibility on the part of the victim to cooperate with an investigation as a way to prevent future rapes from being committed by the person that raped them?

but... you don;t... explain why???? this is v. confusing because whole lot of people in this thread act like this is the easiest thing in the world to understand but nobody seems to be able to put it in words

yes, i understand that rape is traumatic. that doesn't excuse letting your rapist run wild so that you can avoid the discomfort of a police interview. in fact this explanation seems deeply insane and destructive so I'm sure that there is a better explanation out there but nobody is sharing it

OH NO!
Nobody should be forced to deal with rape kit/police/trial if they don't want, but boy howdy is making (now) unprovable, character defamation level accusations on social media a year later a terrible goddamn alternative. Like, being accused of rape (if you didn't do it) is one of the worst things that can happen to you, so if he didn't do it, Deen should be in a lawyer's office yesterday. OTOH, if he DID do it, he should probably just kill himself in a painful fashion.

Fun fact: a rape kit doesn't obligate you to press charges at the time, but it enables you to do so years later if you change your mind. As a bonus, "thing is true and here is actual physical evidence obtained at the time of assault" is a nice defense from said defamation suits if you do decide to try the case in Twitter court.

maybe we should segregate the sexes to minimize opportunities for rape.

perhaps we could tone down the sexuality of our mass media and fashion.

possibly legally require women to travel in packs or with male escorts.

i too think that nobody should ever have any opinions about anything other than their own lived experiences. I am qualified to have this opinion because I once tried having an opinion about something else and an Internet person snarked at me about it :(

This reminds me of something my friend who is a public defender told me. We were at a party and someone was pestering him, asking what was the best crime to commit in order to get off scot-free, you know, murder, rape theft, arson, what's the easiest crime to get away with. He didn't hesitate before saying 'oh, just rape a black prostitute, I promise no one will give a poo poo'.

Obviously she's a famous twitter porn star personality and white, but I'm sure it is the same basic principle. She has sex with lots of men for money, more likely to have been abused and done drugs, just all sorts of problems that make her a horrible witness, so going to the police would probably have been a big waste of time. Justice is a lot harder to come by with less social status, which doesn't surprise anyone but is true. Factor in that they dated and shot films together, and she would almost certainly need witnesses to have any sort of chance at a trial.

if you're sparring, and the other guy say stop or taps out, and you ignore that and knock him out or break his arm, then that's not sparring it's assault

Probably but ur still a pro used to the pain and understand that things don't always go perfect when u fight

would u be super outraged if you got kneed after tapping out or try to understand and talk things out?

I'm just trying to figure out if the betrayal of trust is so big that the only solution is to twit up about it publicly

Like if ur working with dicks all the time and the dick is basically a prop and someone you know playfully forces the dick on u is it any different than 1 butcher in a slaughterhouse playing a trick on another by making them smell cow guts up close?
