Comment on Women and men and consensual sex

:::spoiler Needs text alternative. Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative such as link:
- usability
- we can’t quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
- text search is unavailable
- the system can’t
- reflow text to varied screen sizes
- vary presentation (size, contrast)
- vary modality (audio, braille)
- accessibility
- lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
- some users can’t read this due to lack of alt text
- users can’t adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
- systems can’t read the text to them or send it to braille devices
- web connectivity
- we have to do failure-prone bullshit to find the original source
- we can’t explore wider context of the original message
- authenticity: we don’t know the image hasn’t been tampered
- searchability: the “text” isn’t indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
- fault tolerance: no text fallback if
- image breaks
- image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.
Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images. ::: Who’s doing the shaming?
Why would we shame men in particular for non-consensual sex? Are the other genders shamed less for it?
I don’t think merely shaming for non-consensual sex is an appropriate response. Usually, a criminal offense leads straight to arrest. Aren’t convicted rapists usually stigmatized in prison & after release?
Altogether, a peculiar assertion.

‘Aren’t convicted rapists usually stigmatized in prison & after release?’
Many rapists never even get a prison sentence, even if convicted, which many are not. One rapist, Jesse Butler, recently got community service after a conviction.

Right, and no one’s shaming them?
Also
A minor: charging minors as adults is unjust, and a sentence appropriate for minors should be expected.

And no one’s shaming him. Did you read about how violent the crimes were? Regardless of being 17 at the time of the crimes, the violent nature of them should require a bit more than community service.
