Is rape such a terrible crime because women are the primary victims of it, or are women the primary victims of it because it's so terrible?

Neither, ya fuck.

Thanks, ya dick weasle!

Originally it wasn't so terrible a crime, but the taaboo against it came from the fact that it was happening to women. Or more specifically the men who owned that women. The rapist was robbing the man of something of value i.e is wife or daughters social value. These days it's mostly done to women not because it's so terrible but because it has been culturally parsed as the crime women endure. Birds fly, men start war and women are raped.

Do you have sources on that?

I think it's because we're so fucking puritanical (in the US, of course not speaking for other countries) that people think women who have been sexually violated are somehow ruined.

Um. People in the US get counseling and have the opportunity to get on with their lives unlike many middle eastern countries where they are punished or killed.

Don't diss your own society when it at least tries to get things right.

No it's a horrible crime because it's a horribly crime, and dehumanizes the victim, and removes them of their right to bodily autonomy.

So do so many other crimes. Rape is worse than almost all of them.

is poop poop because you pooped it, or is it because poop is poop that we poop it?

tw: poop

THIS. This is the question to which (for which?) I require an answer!

Those statements are not directly related to each other.

Do we have to do this EVERY. GODDAMNED. DAY. NOW?

I mean, it's frustrating, but evidence certainly suggests that people on this comm have a literally inexhaustible appetite for talking about gender issues, so ???

that's not true. rad!fem starts these threads. if rad!fem moved out of her basement, I guarantee we would have 90% fewer gender related threads.

I think probably multiple anons start them - whether those anons are trolling or not, I think there's definitely multiple styles here.

Also, no matter how many threads were started, if people didn't want to talk about it, they wouldn't go anywhere. It keeps happening because we never stop wanting to talk about it.

I just click on "Hide X comments" and go on my merry way.

OMG THAT IS WHAT THAT BUTTON DOES. THANK YOU!

Sound advice. I will listen to it.

I honestly never noticed that button before. Thanks, Anon!

It is the only way. Soon we'll have to change the name of the comm to fandomrape and then censor it because trigger warning.

...I am aware that is a terrible joke, thank you.
