A problem with how feminists view rape:


Below is a copy/paste of a comment I made on a board for a movie called Higher Learning that had a "rape scene" which I put in quotes because the actual guilt was never established and the character in the movie never got prosecuted but did get socially ostracized. To me it is very important that rape as a crime have different "degrees" depending on the circumstances the way other crimes do. I feel that SOME rapists deserve either death, life with no parole, or castration, I actually AGREE with the feminists for SOME rapists, just as I approve of the death penalty for SOME murderers. However, lumping ALL rapes together as a single type of crime with no distinction to me is like lumping all forms of murder ranging from involuntary manslaughter to murder one with special circumstances together as the same crime. The 3 monster penalties which as I said are death, life without parole, and castration should only be reserved for monster people and should not apply to some date rapes or other scandal type situations (let's face it famous athletes get accused of rape a lot, look at Mike Tyson)


My biggest problem is THIS: Those feminists waving signs "dead men don't rape" which obviously implies they want this guy to get the DEATH PENALTY. There are three penalties most feminists insist on for rape:DEATH, CASTRATION, or LIFE in prison with no parole.

Now for crimes OTHER than rape we have "degrees" different levels of severity. For example with FIRST degree murder you are eligable in some states for the death penalty, for SECOND degree murder you cannot get death penalty but maybe life in prison, for MANSLAUGHTER (which is basically a lower degree of murder) you can get out in a few years, and even then it is divided into "voluntary" and "involuntary" and there is even a term "negligent homicide" which is what Mike Jackson's father is facing.

There is a lower level of kidnapping called "false imprisonment" and for drug crimes the sentence varies depending on quantity. For theft there is misdemeanor "petty theft" or "grand theft" and "grand larceny" depending on the value of what is stolen, candy bar from seven eleven you get probation steal a car you get state prison.

Yet these stupid feminists somehow think that all rape is EXACTLY THE SAME and they refuse to make distinctions between sickos like Philip Gerido who raped JC Dugard and various other monsters hiding in the bushes or gang rapists like the movie THE ACCUSED with people like the guy in this movie or someone (often a famous celebrity or pro athlete) in some kind of "he said she said" consent dispute where they went into a hotel room together and then she cries rape (like what happened to Mike Tyson).

Maybe these feminazis should allow a distinction between these different types of rape and NOT try to give the DEATH PENALTY to the guy in this movie and Mike Tyson. It pisses me off that they are fine with any other crime (like murder listed above for examples) having "degrees" but for RAPE they refuse any distinction between the different situations.

The death penalty should be abolished for all crimes across the board (and should NEVER be used in cases of rape). Also, I don't think any sane people advocate castration as an actual punishment for rape, and it isn't used in the criminal justice system, so how you're even discussing it like it's a real thing is pretty amusing. You should obsess less over signs you read on the internet.

As for judging the degrees of rape severity, I sincerely doubt you're qualified to even suggest such a thing, especially if you've never been sexually assaulted.

How do clearly know? I sincerely doubt you have that high-degree of intelligence which you delude yourself into believing.

By listening when victims talk come forward to talk about their experiences, which you clearly have never done.

I don't need to speak to those victims to understand the human-condition, and that bugs you since you cannot claim ownership of how the victims feel. And saying that there are not different degrees of rape is simpleminded. I might work in a mental-facility, for all you know. Look, you're done.

Now who's being pompous.

You are stupid. And nothing more can be said to you to relieve you of your stupidity.
