Comment on How does employing a rapist not constitute an unsafe work environment for female employees?

  I am fine with rehabilitating drug dealers or other non violent crimes and even some violent ones. Rapists should never see the light of day again. There’s no excuse for rape. There’s no “Oh, I didn’t no raping someone was a bad thing” to rehabilitate someone out of. To rape someone you have to be a selfish, shitty person, end of story. We don’t need people like that in society. The resources spent trying to fix them would be better focused on people who need help and have never raped anyone.

    Just out of curiosity, what other violent crimes do get a pass for “not knowing it was wrong?”

    Like do you believe that people can assault other people with weapons without knowing it was wrong? Can they beat their wives and not know it was wrong?

    You seem to have a weird hangup on rape in particular in comparison to other violent crimes when it comes to “knowing it was wrong.”

    I’m pretty sure the MS13 guys that butcher people know it’s wrong they just don’t give a shit. I’m sure people who use physical violence to get what they want know it’s wrong but they just don’t care.

    Stupid standard, people can rationalize any crime rape ain’t special.

      I said some violent crimes.

      If someone assaults somebody in retaliation for something they did to them or a family member where it’s unlikely they would harm anyone else many would argue that can be justified.

      Can they beat their wives and not know it was wrong?

      No we’re all taught from preschool on not to hit.

      I’m pretty sure the MS13 guys that butcher people know it’s wrong they just don’t give a shit. I’m sure people who use physical violence to get what they want know it’s wrong but they just don’t care.

      And they should be locked up forever with the rapists.

        If someone assaults somebody in retaliation (…) many would argue that can be justified.

        Then when someone assaults the assaulter in retaliation for the retaliation? Fuck the rule of law - return to lynch mobs, amirite? Do you say people argue this because you’re one of them and are too much of a coward to say so, or is this an irrelevancy you don’t believe? People argue all sorts of dumb bullshit - it doesn’t make them right.

        No we’re all taught from preschool on not to hit.

        No exceptions, no discussion entered into - guess we’re locking up the military and police. Of course there are exceptions, and of course people are going to do the mental gymnastics necessary to justify their actions to themselves. That doesn’t make them right, but it does make your standard a transparently terrible one.

      How about instead of dodging their points, you really think about what they’re saying?
