The Now-Defunct "Feministing" wrote articles pandering to sex offenders and working to abolish the sex offender registry

I used to work in the field of child sexual abuse. She’s in cloud cuckoo land. We have no way of rehabilitating serial sex offenders. Existing programmes have been shown to make them worse.

She can keep her definition of feminism. Mine is about preventing harm to women. If men suffer because of their conscious decisions to rape children and women then that’s on them. Chances are there are plenty of rapes that they weren’t actually convicted of so are serving much lighter sentences than if their full offending history was known.

I seriously dont get why these feminist women are MRA just calling themselves "feminists". There are so many issues concerning women that could be payed more attention to why tf are you trying to help male sex offenders-

Insanity

Sure, abolish the registry, it's not like it's an early indicator for serial killers or built out of women's pain or anything. All this bullshit women have to deal with to even get them on that register because they didn't want what happened to them to happen to another woman. These people can't and won't change.

They are NOT feminists they are MENINISTS

“We are feminists because we believe in the human capacity for transformation.”

DAFUQ did she just say?! Has this person never read one thing about personality disorders? By definition, people with NPD and APD do not change. Not ever. They’ve been trying for decades without success. Read the research. Or of you don’t like science, there’s the Bible. The Bible points out that there are “evil” people walking amongst us and it’s not on us to save them.

Furthermore, pedophilia can be classified as a a type of obsessive compulsive behavior on its own. People who are “afflicted” with this condition are 95-99% unlikely in their lifetime to ever change.

As a feminist, I do not accept that we need to save those who cannot be saved. Let’s keep away from them and keeping leveling up.

This article is damaging and wrong, no matter which way you look at it.

I’m so fucking sick of liberal feminists just fucking forgetting WHY we have these policies in place. We had to fight tooth and nail to creat a sex offender registry!!! Because you shouldn’t go out with a man who seems like a nice guy and not find out he molested the child of a different single mother.

Un-fucking real. There’s already issues of sex offenders moving states and that state only seeing what they’re convicted of, not what they were investigated for.

We literally have pedophiles moving frequently so that the next police dept can’t see “oh. He was investigated for a similar crime already”.

Is there a complaint email for the article she wrote? Or someone we can write to?

“we need to understand why a system that purports to be ‘tough on sexual violence’ is fundamentally anti-feminist”

WHAT.

Everyday I find another reason to distance myself from being labelled a “feminist” because of how much liberal feminists have made a joke of women’s liberation and rights. What they’re advocating for could not be further from women’s rights!

While I get some of her points, if she really wanted to push for reform and transformation she should be writing articles fighting against the treatment of incarcerated individuals, the lack of rehabilitation and availability and accessibility of therapy, and the racially and monetarily unbalanced justice system. We need to work to have less sex offenders, not decide we just don’t need to keep track of them.

And on every thread about it (other than here) you'd get the impression that 99% of sex offenders got their status by peeing on a tree outside or whatever. Doubt that's how it works as we don't have a registry system like that here but like do they not realise how hard it is to get a sex offender convicted of anything? Even if he definitely did it? Pretty sure 98% of the pee stories are cover ups for way way worse shit.

I don’t think it’s a feminist issue but I actually do think that the data shows sex offender registries don’t really work and might actually increase recidivism. They’re a pretty bad way of tackling sex offenses.

Honestly the whole justice system needs an overhaul. But I agree, why is it feminists responsibility to do this particularly? I’m so sick of feminism being treated as a catch all

Starsuponstars · 2021-02-24T21:38:24+00:00

Liberal "feminism" sure loves itself some sex offenders!

I'm glad "Feministing" is no more. I couldn't look at the name without thinking "fisting."
