Any talk of female perpetrators gets shut down real fast too, in a perfunctory "yes it's possible but let's not hear any stories about how or why it happens, we have Real Rape Victims(TM) to care about today and we don't have time to smear women with the sins of the patriarchy" sort of way.

When, guys, no, this is really fucking important, because do you know how many lesbians experience abuse or sexual violence from other women. One third. One third. The look on my FACE when I found this out. (Meanwhile, do you know what comes up when you try to search for resources for dealing with female-on-female sexual assault? More lesbian rape porn than useful results. But go ahead and cry crystal tears when a post with a single passing reference to rape doesn't come with eighteen trigger warnings.)

And the reason this is important for more than one-third of a single-digit percent of the population (while we're ranking by frequency :p) is this: if the rate of sexual violence and abuse within the lesbian community is just as high as it is among straights, then maybe the problem is not that men in particular are trained to be evil rapists, it's shitty messages of entitlement towards women's bodies and social license for those who've internalized such messages to operate. That's useful information, for fuck's sake.

But nope, you go, SJWs, shutting that entire line of discussion down because you think it's all MRAs drawing false equivalences to claim that women are just as bad as men.

Occasionally Social Justice Talk brings about very good points. Like this. Thank you.

That's amazing. Do you have any sources for this info you could share? Stats, articles, etc? I'm not doubting you--exactly the opposite. I'm interested in learning more, because I agree: that is really important.

I want to print this comment out, frame it, travel to vegas and have a wild drunken marriage with it and spend the rest of my life cuddled up next to it on the couch.

You could not have written that any better. Thank you so much. This was just "it's shitty messages of entitlement towards women's bodies and social license for those who've internalized such messages to operate. " so perfect. So perfect.

You are a beautiful person.
