Not gonna lie, what's the point of this post? There's a difference between getting raped in a war, instead of torture and getting raped in front of your home in a secure environment.
In my opinion this sub should be about topics, where women got advantages because they are women, of which I am completely in favor. But lately the sub shifted to hating women in general, with posts like this. I don't think it's right to say rape isn't terrible for the victim because one person In an extreme situation thought so. People are mentally extremely different. Especially ordinary people and soldiers.

The point of this post is to show the extreme difference in the suffering of male & female prisoners. There are many examples of men suffering brutality: In Singapore, they exclusively whip male prisoners, and the reasoning as described by politicians is because female sexual organs are something along the lines of 'sacred'.
Is that the reason why female rape creates outrage? but male rape doesn't?
Judging by the protection women's sexuality is given; it's safe to say that rape was purposefully made taboo for this very reason to protect women over men. Is it a coincidence that violence that predominantly affects men is normalized in society whereas rape that predominantly affects women is stigmatized? Absolutely not. It was a deliberate attempt at enshrining female protectionism.
Nobody is saying rape isn't terrible. However, we're discussing the severity of it and this sub literally only shows snippets of articles, if that's "women-hate" then the favoritism is showing.
The cultural seriousness of rape has everything to do with female protectionism. It seems like one area where feminism hasn't made women equal but has made them creatures that we have to protect and to violate them in that way is seem as nearly as bad as murder.
Our ideas about rape really get me fired up. To me, it seems like rape should be considered the same as a violent assault. I think our ideas are mostly rooted in Judeo-Christian ideas about purity and protectionism.

yeah but getting raped is still pretty bad isn't it? I mean sure, according to her, rape wasn't as bad, but is it really a pussypass when she literally gets punished too? I mean I dont know if pussypass means sex = less to no consequences, or having a pussy (being a woman) is = to no or small consequences

You have to take into consideration that they didn't rape her in order to inflict pain & suffering, because if that's really what they wanted, then they would be torturing her like a man.
"Pussypass" according to the sub's description means(as you said) being a woman = no or small consequences as that's exactly what happened.

I mean, is getting fucked, and possibly beaten to near death, and possibly having to keep a baby you dont want, or maybe even the concept of having coitus (which is a pretty sensitive subject for some) against your will, really not consequential?

Relative to the experience of the man; absolutely.

How sheltered do you have to be to compare rape and assault, it can quite literally break a person. If you think that getting pinned down and having something stuck inside of you is a pussy pass you should reevaluate some stuff.

If you think rape is the pinnacle of human suffering then you're a sheltered one who hasn't seen much of the world.
Having sex instead of brutally having your bones in the most delicate part of your body explode in the most unnatural and violent way possible is definitely a fucking pussypass.
and the best part is that she herself says this.

My favorite part is where you insert your own words to try and make my statement into your own views no ones saying getting your damn bones broken is something to scoff at but rape still ain’t a joke either. If two people get shot but one gets shot twice you don’t sit there and call the other person a bitch cus “the other person got it worse”

yes, rape is still pretty bad, less bad than physical assault but bad nevertheless.

Isn't that exactly what's happening here? Didn't the woman get leniency because of her gender? Didn't she used her vagina to get away from torture.
[–]303x 13 points14 points15 points (1 child) | Copy Link
Sure, so we go and tell the people who capture the POWs to torture everyone equally and NOT take advantage of their position?

Well, That's obviously not possible and I'm not saying that we should. I'm just stating things the way they are.

Bruh OP of the original post is kinda stupid. Acting like we can only have sympathy for one person and then comparing the exploding tooth to a gunshot wound and then rape to a papercut. Then goes off about how rape being such a bad crime because something about women's sacred sexuality and culture?
Like no shit an exploding tooth is worse, but rape is still awful.

He never said that we can only have empathy for one person. The female victim in the interview said that there is so much talk about female victims but none about male victims, and because the comments were only talking about the woman, it kinda proved her point about how no one talks about men.
It was an analogy for something else, you seem to have the reading comprehension of a high schooler.
It indeed is an awful crime, nevertheless.

Kudos to her for calling a spade a spade
