@Kaysharic@rodrickfash Deadass I have dated two women that maintained contact with men that they claim raped them
One statutorily, and the other forcibly
@MakewiEatsSpam@xwanyex Well, even if that is how it actually works, I think it would hopelessly impossible to structure a society around the notion that nobody is accountable for their actions
Whether it’s true or not, we have to live as though free will is real
@MakewiEatsSpam@xwanyex I tend to agree with this, but the obvious tension emerges from when we question whether or not people’s actions are a result of their immutable characteristics
@shashj I’ve been hearing my whole life that there won’t be any Social Security money left when I retire, but let’s be real:
Congress will bail the program out if it actually goes under. And they could very easily eliminate/increase the SS tax cap and solve most of it
@slegdro@captive_dreamer For some reason, a lot of the worst DAs are in those 2nd/3rd tier Midwestern cities like Indianapolis, Cincinnati, St Louis… it’s odd
@Saty_exe@SleepyLivers Yeah, but that’s more of a fantasy than it is an actual enjoyment of the act
They find it sexy when they’re imagining the rapist as a 6’3” independently wealthy werewolf or whatever. Not the disgusting/smelly homeless guy that might actually do a forcible rape
@rightwingnutrs I’m sure this is true, but I’d be curious to see the percentages of how partisans describe their parents’ views
Because every lib girl I knew in school claimed to have racist Republican parents, but basically all of them ended up being apolitical normies when I met them
@SleepyLivers It’s funny how this is a universal male experience. I assumed it was just two random women I’ve dated that act like this, but apparently it’s quite common
@Saty_exe@SleepyLivers In fairness, I think a lot of these cases aren’t necessarily what a normal person would call “rape.” They’re the 2010s redefinition to include all sex that happens while drunk
So they’re probably not talking about forcible violent rapists (I hope)
@unirespecter He pisses me off because he’s clearly intelligent/capable enough to formulate good takes, but instead chooses to ragebait and jerk himself off on air
