Rape and "Equality" - March 29th 2014, 04:35 AM

This thread has been labeled as triggering, particularly on the subject of rape or abuse, by the original poster or by a Moderator. The contents of this thread might therefore not be suitable for certain sensitive users. Please take this into consideration before continuing to read.

This is something I saw posted on another forum. The amount of neofundamentalist-conservatism embedded in it make me sick when I read it, but I'm interested in what you guys and gals think of what this person had to say:
--
It is often said that rape is "the worst thing that can happen to a woman." When trying to make men understand, they use prison rape as the analogy.

But this isn't equivalent. Prison rape has a homosexual component which is what makes it horrible.

If a woman were to rape a man in the heterosexual sense (physical impossibility, but let's suspend disbelief), he'd probably find it pretty cool (barring an HIV infection in the woman)

Thus, a double standard must necessarily exist, which implies a total lack of equality.

If someone insists there is equality despite the obvious double standard and we accept it as true, then logically a woman being all PTSDey after being raped is just so much narcissistic self-indulgence.

But then, if a woman descends into narcissism where a man does not, this implies that equality does not exist, again...


... and so on and so forth.

Discuss and pick apart the argument at your leisure, interested to hear what y'all think.
