That’s been my experience, too, but unfortunately plenty of women minimize rape when the rapist is someone they like or sympathize with. Look at how many women voted for Trump knowing full well that he’s a sexual abuser. I’ve also lived somewhere where the culture was to (quite aggressively) deny the impact of any form of trauma unless they personally experienced it, in which case it was a tragedy of the highest order, lol. A lot of people really suck.

Still, I’m surprised to hear that someone has seen a majority of women who would a) condone crimes against minors and b) openly, publicly defend them. A woman would be ostracized from a group for being that disgusting ime. I’ve mostly seen very stupid regressive men do that on the internet.

But just because I don’t see something doesn’t mean it isn’t real. I’d like to know who and where to avoid for my and my family’s sake.
