Guess what? People go to bathrooms to use the toilet, fix their makeup, fix their hair or just be alone. Normal human things like that, not to cause anyone any trouble…

Okay, I hate the republicans too, and by coincidence, a lot of them are sexual predators, but this is some stupid logic.
“Only thieves think about mugging someone in an alley. If you meet someone who’s afraid to go out at night, report them!”
You know full well my comment wasn’t meant as literally as you’re taking it.
The average person isn’t worried about these stupid thoughts in their daily lives, other than those falling for the fear mongering propaganda. Just like the average person isn’t scared about being mugged every time they go outside.
The people that constantly think and talk about the LGBTQ+ community being predators however do so because they’re projecting their own thoughts, that they know are bad, onto a group they can then marginalize and blame.
Okay, first of all,
the women I talk to online (men too if I’m honest) sure had me fooled, and second of all, is it that people who talk about LGBTQ+ people being predators/groomers (perhaps because they saw a trans person and were reminded of what Fox and Friends told them) can only be doing so because they themselves are rapists/pedophiles, or was my comment suggesting that that line of reasoning was flawed a ridiculous misrepresentation of what you said?
Again, I hold no love for these people. They hold a disgusting disregard for human rights and need to pull their heads out of their asses immediately. But I’m also going to stop short of calling them rapists based solely on the fact that they’re (baselessly) scared of getting raped. (We should call them rapists because women have accused them as such.)
Muggers and victims actually, but assaults in women’s spaces are far more rare than assaults on the street (which are, in turn far more rare than traffic collisions.)
But xenophobic movements commonly assert their target undesirables engage in SA, and attack kids. Rapists and murderers. The old canard that gay men sexuality assault children more than the general population is still with us in spaces where white supremacist rhetoric is tolerated.
Although, social environments that seek to preserve hierarchy and encourage obedience present a fecund field for predatory behavior, since administrators will pressure victims to stay silent to preserve the reputation of the institution. Statistics are harder to find than those of muggings, but we have a long history of religious ministers and youth pastors in the news.
If our LGBT+ advocates have their way, the world will be safer for everyone.
If white supremacists have their way, upper strata will be able to prey on lower strata with impunity, and contrived desperation will keep the victims quiet.
Of course. Absolutely. Everything you just said, 100%.
All of that is true and needs addressing yesterday. None of it implies the people who say “<hate target du jour> are rapists and murderers” are rapists and murderers themselves. Those are serious accusations, and as much as I despise conservatives, I don’t like throwing them around without even a single woman’s accusation’s worth of evidence.
Republicans who have been so accused should be prohibited from campaigning until their court dates, and then thrown in maximum security for a very, very long time. But Republicans whose only crime is hate speech… well, they still deserve jail time, but not rape accusations.
