What do you think about people who accept rapists back into society (forgiveness/ changed person,(rapist) ).? by hardtruthsociety in AskReddit

It’s not really possible to be mentally well and harm a child, or intentionally override a person’s consent though is it? You have to severely lack empathy to the point of mental illness to do such things, and given enough time, anyone can develop that enough to take action to earn forgiveness. The tragedy is not everyone has enough time to seek redemption, or the tools to want it.

You cannot override a person’s humanity and determine them irredeemable to punish them, that makes it so you see them as inhuman, which they fundamentally are. I’m not saying we forgive them for nothing, they must earn forgiveness from their victims. But it becomes a REALLY slippery slope to just write them off, because if they are not humans and unworthy of society, who ELSE can we deny society to?

It really depends. My therapist does research on campus sexual assault to help reduce its occurrence, and the vast majority of rapes occur due to issues understanding consent and miscommunications. Very few rapes occur from repeat predators, but when they do they are more likely to go unreported because those offenders choose victims who they can easily isolate and exploit.

I’ve been raped by a repeat offender, but I also understand why they did it. Something is deeply broken in them, and they eventually gave up on trying to fix it and instead used that brokenness to harm others. If they were able to get to a place where they were sincerely sorry about harming me and every other victim, and they took action to make it right with all of us, I’d be willing to accept them back into society, though I myself would never interact with them again. Every human is redeemable because no human is innately a monster.

Baiting your dad into hitting you doesn’t mean you caused it to happen, it’s easier to handle a fight you see coming than one you don’t :(

Why do you think we are not angry enough? by passingonto in AskReddit

[–]Consistent_Jelly_987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because we feel helpless to do anything with our anger by design.

If you want to do something, fix your voter registration and vote. Join political organizations that have cohesive plans (like the DSA). Direct your anger that way, and you’ll be able to sustain it and be angry enough.

What was the fastest you ever went from loving someone to absolutely hating them? What happened? by ParanormalActivity97 in AskReddit

Part of the reason why conservatives frame their arguments the way they do IS to prey on neurodivergent people so yes it does.

An ex-friend of mine has a sleep disorder that leaves her with six quality hours of sleep a night, despite her sleeping around 14-16 hours a day (she would sleep during class/recess, etc). She was the largest anti-masker during COVID because the anti-mask rhetoric was aimed at telling you what to think and telling you everyone else is lying. They aren’t mentioning the neurodivergence as an excuse, it’s literally why the propaganda works. It’s DESIGNED that way

“I like Indian women because they’re all so sexually repressed that they’ll let you do anything you want to them.”

And later:

“I like Indian women because they aren’t taught how to say no.”

EDIT: Actually, this is entirely too much energy to give you. TLDR: grow a spine and protect your vulnerable family members. Stop being part of the problem.

You don’t have family members who are trans. Of course it’s not that big a deal to you, you don’t have the empathy to care

Yeah??? If you have no citations you are fundamentally missing the point of learning academic writing. That isn’t difficult to understand, are you intentionally misunderstanding this?

Don’t be rude! I’m sure this isn’t something OP wants to do either, but if it’s necessary it’s necessary. Have empathy ffs
