How about instead of dodging their points, you really think about what they’re saying?
Comment on How does employing a rapist not constitute an unsafe work environment for female employees?
c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 2 months agoJust 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.
No we’re all taught from preschool on not to hit.
And they should be locked up forever with the rapists.

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 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.

They do, and that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be punished, what it does mean is you can look at their reasons when determining whether or not they are likely to re-offend. The person who only kills people who rape their kid is not likely to do it again vs. the person who’s threshold for rape is that they don’t respect other people’s body autonomy when they’re horny.

In the context of this conversation, “people” can speak for themselves.
Again - are you a coward that attributes their support for lynch mobs to “people” rather than owning them, or are you dishonest, presenting other people’s arguments you don’t believe?
Failure to answer that aside, it seems you’re arguing all violence is wrong because we’re taught not to hit in preschool, but retaliatory violence is good because the courts don’t take circumstances into account and sentence accordingly. I don’t need to refute your points - you’ve done that yourself - albeit poorly.
