i absolutely hate this, and at the same time, you're entirely on point here. it's beginning to feel a lot like sex crimes are a rite of passage to the new regime, bonus points if it's a hate crime directed at a trans person

I'm honestly surprised they haven't lowered the age of consent to 12 whilst accusing transpeople of being pedos at the same time somehow.

I'm reminded of a comment by a representative in West Virginia when they were considering raising the age of marriage to something less awful about how doing so would undermine their way of life

Jesus Christ, at this point when they tell on themselves I mostly just get scared because I realize there are fucking pedos everywhere.

Yeah I remember being furious about it. Like I'm generally pro teenagers doing whatever teenagers will do with each other so long as it's consensual and they have proper sex ed. But people under the age of majority should not be marrying adults. It contains a crippling power dynamic and fucks them up

That's exactly my stance.

What do you mean "sex crimes"? There's about to be no such thing by the end of the next 4 years. Women won't be able to report crimes

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm pretty certain they'll still be able to report a crime, but it becomes selectively enforced and used to control people.

Or they encourage victims to speak up, then force them to marry their rapist and remove all agency from them in that marriage to prevent them from speaking about it again.

Or both.

Or something worse than all of the above.

No, I bet they won't be able to. Their husbands/fathers would be able to, but not them.

Remember, as recently as the 1970's a woman would need permission from her husband or father for a line of credit or bank account.

Sex crimes happen to men, too.

I wasn't talking about men, I was talking about women.
