Do you live in a society where a woman's chastity is vital to her continued existence?

ok. WHAT.

I wasn't going to reply to any more of your comments but you DO realize this sounds an awful lot like "it was just his penis in you, that's not a big deal, get over it", right?

No, it's not the worst thing that could happen. I'd rather not be killed or brutally tortured. But I don't think there's a lot more on that list tbh. Maiming is also bad, yeah. But that's a pretty low bar.

And if this is just a fight about the legal system and how bad prison is (which I agree with, actually) you picked a really, really bad hill to die on. Rape is still under-prosecuted and under-sentenced as opposed to many more minor crimes we lock people up for, and there's a racial and wealth bias in the justice system which Turner is benefiting from. Honestly, trying to stand up for him here goes against solving justice system problems.

ETA: something else about the chastity comment. It may not be really important for all women (or men) and it certainly shouldn't be something imposed on women by society, but actually to some women chastity is a big deal - including myself. I don't think I can put into words how horrifying the idea of someone forcibly taking that away from me is. It's my choice.

Yes, I'd recover. I'd move on. But I think it would hurt me very deeply. It's an extremely personal violation. My body is my own.

None of that is meant to imply that women who have been sexually active are less affected by rape - only that it's one very personal dimension of the issue to me specifically that I don't want to downplay. Anyway, sexual activity in whatever context is about a person choosing to share their body, in the most intimate way possible, with someone else. Taking away that choice is a deep violation no matter what someone's personally history is.
