  • I think we can all agree that rape and pedophilia is a heinous crime that isn’t taken nearly as seriously as it should, especially like all crimes when the perpetrator is rich.

    But let’s not place one gender as the oppressor and the other as the victim. That’s not what the patriarchy is and that’s not what pedophilia and rape victim statistics say. The patriarchy is the dominant social structure and it is helmed by a small group of men of extreme privilege. Below them is a mix of men and women varying in gender mix and privilege until you get to the bottom which is filled in large part by homeless men because the hierarchy punishes men who don’t accept it particularly harshly. The poorest women generally “need to be protected” because paternalistic protection of women is a core (and sexist) value of the patriarchy.

    The point is not to say one gender has it better or worse, there is no doubt that on the whole the patriarchy favours men. The point is that the while the issue of rape a pedophilia is a GENDERED issue, it’s not a men vs women thing. Men aren’t high-fiving rapists for raping girls. I can’t go to a single one of my friends or any stranger and get anything but a call to the police if I said “I raped a 16y old girl”. Women aren’t always the victims, sometimes the victims are boys, sometimes the perpetrators are women. Women aren’t 100% treated worse in every case, it’s a known fact, such as in this prosecution that women are treated more leniently by the courts. The average prosecution for statutory is ~40 months, she got 3.

    Rape and pedophilia are horrible problems and we aren’t even close to a society that creates justice for victims, but the attitude you have on the topic just muddles the problem further instead of helping towards a solution. If you can get past your ideology and accept all the facts of the situation you’ll be a much more effective advocate for victims.


  • You really have the whole thing backwards don’t you. There was a whole South Park episode about how impossible it is for society to take the rape of young boys by reasonably attractive women seriously.

    In general for rape seriousness it goes:

    1. Boy raped by man (this is the worst and even powerful men can be undone here)
    2. Girl raped by man (this is generally acknowledged as a terrible thing as long as the girl comes from a higher or similar status family than the man)
    3. Boy raped by woman (only taken seriously if the woman is hideous, otherwise it’s everyone cheering the boy for being so lucky to be raped by an attractive woman)
    4. Girl raped by girl (taken so unseriously most people don’t even consider it when taking about pedophilia)

    Again I’m not supporting this revolting hierarchy, but you can’t exactly deny it.




  • My man doesn’t understand the concept of satire and parody

    If you take something anti-Semites would say and you take it to a point of absurdity that’s MAKING FUN OF ANTI-SEMITES not being one. Jeez you Zionists sure are sensitive bunch for a group of people who support war crimes, killing babies, and raping prisoners.

    You understand that saying “Jews control Israel” isn’t antisemitic right… Bibi himself constantly repeats that Israel is a Jewish state, the Jewish homeland etc…

    It’s in no way implying the Jews control any other part of the world.







  • It’s because the rich bought up all our land and all our companies and are extorting us to use it.

    You could get a bunch of daycare workers and try to run a more fair daycare. You’ll realize you can’t pay the workers more or the parents less because you have to pay exorbitant rent on a building to run your business. Then you have to pay for extortionate apps that help you manage your business so you can be competitive.

    Good old capitalism ruining things again!
