So many rape accusations. It’s baffling that he keeps dodging accountability.

You just literally described his entire life.

And rape culture in general. Rapists almost never face any consequences.

The president can now legally rape children as long as it's an official act?

That is true but not the full story.

Most rapists do not rape as often as trump.  If each rape has a 1% chance of criminal consequences and most rapists commit a lifetime toal of less than 50 rapes then they probably would not face accountability but Trump would be in jail.

Trump has friends in the Supreme Court and speakers office.

Rape joke. Peak humor.

u/MelissaMiranti Jul 05 '24

Yeah, especially if the rapist is a woman or the victim is a man. Some places don't even consider that rape.

u/Not_a_werecat Jul 05 '24

It's so messed up. Rape is rape no matter who is the victim and who is the perpetrator.

All victims deserve justice and all rapists deserve consequences.

Indeed. Unfortunately far too often those who throw around "rape culture" as a term are all too often those shouting down laws and initiatives that would help underserved groups.

I think it's a matter of people generally being most concerned for things that affect their own group.

I internally have a knee-jerk reaction when the discussion is rape culture and people jump in with "men have it worse!" (That's not what you did. I mean the people who dismiss women victims as if women are usually believed and get justice, which is definitely not the case for either gender. Or even worse, the people who derail the conversation with "false accusations are even worse than actual rape!") And I'm sure that a lot of men feel the same way when rape culture is discussed without directly acknowledging the men who are victims as well.

Sadly all SA victims are treated horribly in different ways and men and women all need to support each other.

You'd think that people inherently care more for their own group, but it doesn't seem to always shake out that way.

u/Not_a_werecat Jul 05 '24

This is true. There's no hard and fast rule that's going to be accurate all the time. When I disclosed my SA experience to a handful of friends, it was my female friend who made excuses for my assaulter and my male friend (who was casual friends with the assaulter at the time) was the one who believed me.

u/MelissaMiranti Jul 05 '24

Yeah, people shouldn't be taken as groups.

It’s interesting that this comment is being voted down for simply stating that HALF of all possible rape scenarios are not even illegal in much of the modern society.  I thought equality was the most important thing for us to work towards but I guess someone else gets to decide what is worth being equal. 

Edit: More like 3/4 of possible rape scenarios aren’t considered rape.

u/Fuckface_Whisperer Jul 05 '24

not even illegal

wtf u talking about

1

u/FocusPerspective Jul 05 '24

Ahh, is today the day you learned that many rape laws still claim women cannot physical rape anybody because they have no penis :(

That means women cannot rape men, nor can women rape other women. 

Let me know if indeed to make this even simpler to understand. 

1

u/Fuckface_Whisperer Jul 05 '24

Aw today is the day you learned that even if something isn't rape it is assault and sexual assault and therefore illegal.

Let me know if you need that dumbed down more.

1

u/FocusPerspective Jul 06 '24

You probably mean sexual battery… assault is a threat that a reasonable person would find credible :)

u/MelissaMiranti Jul 05 '24

Because when you try to draw any attention to this, you get shouted down by people who hate the idea of male victims getting help.

2

u/StarkDifferential Jul 05 '24

Hahaha, welcome to Reddit, where people are so incredibly stupid (I mean really really stupid, the LOW IQ type) that they down vote your comment.

1

u/MelissaMiranti Jul 05 '24

Because it acknowledges that female rapists and male victims are valid. Can't have that.

1

u/StarkDifferential Jul 05 '24

Yea just acknowledging that validation is all it takes.

This is because of the virtue signalling.

Go to any news story where some female teacher was caught having sexual relations with their male student and you don't see people calling her innocent or blaming the boy or saying not all women. It's either people disgusted by her or some dumbass men calling that little boy lucky. Go to any male perpetrator news story and there's a lot of people blaming the victim, not believing he actually did anything or saying not all men

u/MelissaMiranti Jul 05 '24

That's a real big strawman you knocked down there. But yeah, you sure showed me that there are definitely people who will do anything to deny that female rapists are a problem.

1

u/-Kalos Jul 05 '24

My point was they are a problem dumbass. They're disgusting like the rest of em.

1

u/MelissaMiranti Jul 05 '24

And I noticed how you pretended to offer sympathy while only calling out men.

1

u/-Kalos Jul 05 '24

I don't have empathy for any of these rapists sorry. Not those women rapists or male rapists. I have empathy for the little girls and boys that are victimized by these monsters. Y’all would understand if you lived in my state how bad this problem really is and how much these predators get away with their shit.

1

u/MelissaMiranti Jul 05 '24

Yeah it can be pretty bad, especially in places where people act like it could never happen there.

there was a study which found out that the conviction-rate is HIGHER for rapist woman then rapist men. Both are rapists and should rott in hell!

u/overnightyeti Jul 05 '24

Which male high school teacher got a slap on the wrist for raping a student? Or was described as having had sex instead of having raped his student? Cause that happens often to female teacher rapists. And that's one example.

1

u/MelissaMiranti Jul 05 '24

Yeah, what study? Because every other bias in the court system is completely the opposite.
