Huh this is a whole.... hole..... Rape victim argues being raped by a TW is no different than being raped by a W? (I disagree but please discuss!)

Honestly I agree. Yes if her wife was female, then she might have been able to fight back. But if I murder you it doesn't matter if I use a gun, poison or pummel you to death. Murder is murder regardless of the tools used. And for the GC crowd saying "rape is only with a penis" im sorry that law Is stupid as fuck. Don't @ me. Female rape happens. And if you read the victims accounts, then I don't see much of a difference between the two.

It doesn't matter what you're raped with in the same way it does not matter what you're murdered with.

The thing about male on female rape tho, is that he's acting out and reinforcing the idea that women exist solely to serve men. So not only is there an individual power trip going on, but also class warfare.

The second trauma doesn't occur if a woman should rape another woman. Besides that, < is extremely rare. I don't live in a constant state of anxiety waiting for the next time I'll be catcalled or sexually harassed or sexually intimidated or raped by random women. Before I got old and became invisible, I remember feeling a breath of relief on those days when I came home and I HAD NOT been harassed by a man at some point that day.

I'm not sure if you can call male on female rape class warfare, at least in most western cases. Then again I'm most familiar with date/opportunistic rape, so maybe my experience is just to limited overall.

What do you mean by second trauma? Also rarity doesn't mean it mean a crime doesn't exist or is less bad than the more prevelant one.

How are female people not a class everywhere?

I think she is referring to the class trauma that wouldn’t be present if she was raped by a woman. A woman raping another woman wouldn’t be part of a rape culture that degrades women, limits our feelings of safety, and treats us like we are nothing more than objects for male pleasure.

I'm not denying that. In my albeit limited experience I just don't see that much of an "put her in her place", which I consider essential when calling something class warfare. I'm not denying that women's oppression enables rape to be as prevelant as it is, Im just not convinced that it's a weapon in class warfare as much as a direct consequence, at least in the western world. If we think globally then I agree.

Well. You would be an object of female pleasure, so yeah that's obvious.
