have you apologized to the rape victim you mocked by expecting her to have sympathy for the rapist she broke the nose of? have you apologized to the forum for that act, as it was done here? have you no decency to offset your conceit?

I never said a rape victim should have sympathy for their rapist. But I’ve been specifically told not to talk about it.

How is saying im a moral failure if I don’t help a rapist not saying I needed to give them sympathy? Don’t escape the tiny confined space! Help the boys who just held you down and penetrated your vagina stop their nosebleeds cause it’s owie.

What about that isn’t demanding I give them sympathy? You didn’t use that particular word? That’s how you weasel out of personal responsibility for being a misogynist and rapist supporter?

Houseplant, I am very sorry this happened to you

By saying you had "a moral duty" to help the rapist whose nose you broke, CMOV seems in my view to be suggesting that the broken nose a male experiences in the course of raping a girl or woman is just as bad as, or worse than, the injury/harm he has caused his female victim by assaulting and raping her. CMOV seems to think you should have put the rapist's wellbeing before your own or on the same plane as your own.

Also, CMOV is showing shocking unawareness of, or total lack of regard for, the abject terror, shock and trauma girls/women experience during and after rape. As if after rape, we're all so calm, cool and collected that we are capable of thinking in terms of our "moral duty" to others. Moreover, the suggestion seems to be that part of female rape victims' "moral duty" is to process our pain and trauma at warp speed so we can hurry up attend to our assailant's welfare and "be kind."

This reminds me of Mridul Wadhwa, the TRA head of Edinburgh Rape Crisis who called rape victims "transphobic bigots" and said women who've been raped have a duty to "reframe their trauma" so as not to feel or express any ire towards anyone male that might distress or discomfit other males.

Fuck that. A girl or woman who has just been raped has no "moral duty" to anyone except herself.

Thankyou!! That’s exactly how it feels when he defends his stance, like i was wrong to protect myself instead of some monstrous boys. He may as well have asked if I did anything to deserve it. Feels like the same level of blame and disregard for the survivor and none for the perpetrators.

Amazes me that masks can claim til the cows come home that men are monsters and he’s a woman so not a monster, but then fail so hard at even pretending to empathise or sympathise with an actual woman.

It’s a disturbing trend I’m noticing amongst discussions online around rape. More and more women are being told to think about how dehumanising it is to misgender their own rapists, or condemned for refusing to drop their guard around males because that male might feel badly about it. No idea if I’m just seeing it more or if it’s happening more but it’s scary.

Yea you did, and you just violated the whole "I've been specifically told not to talk about it" thing by lying about what you did.

    Oh, is that all you did: talk about the rape victim's moral duty to her rapist, and talk about that moral duty in absence of any reference to sympathy? thanks for clarifying that because without that clarification it sounds like you're no different of a monster than the very worst of men which you claim are all monsters. Is that all you did? But, with the clarification it really sounds no different. More like semantics if that. Moral duty without sympathy: got it!

    What is that moral duty the rape victim has to the rapist? Were you pursuing a moral duty in informing the rape victim of her moral debt to that rapist, or were you being something less than moral? Care to talk more about that which you were specifically told not to talk about? And: have you apologized for it to the women you flung that poop at?

    I started speaking in generalities and someone else brought rape into it. I have an answer which people are mischaracterizing and misquoting but I can’t fully clarify.

    As the saying goes, you were complaining about the splinter in someone else's eye while ignoring the timber in your own. We're just point out the timber, your hypocrisy about rules when you said absolutely horrible things to Houseplant and you remain not just unrepentant but defiantly so about it.

    What is the moral duty that a rape victim has to her rapist after breaking the nose of the rapist in self defense? What was your action in raising this supposed duty with the victim? But, that's not what you did, it's more like you questioned her morality over it, which is a monstrous thing to do.

        Oh! So YOU'RE THE LYING ABOUT WHAT YOU SAID!!!! no surprise. There is a huge difference between talking about someone's moral duty and calling them a moral failure. How are you not banned from being here? Oh, by the kindness of Houseplant for not asking for it. But you've yet to apologize? Just as well, you could not really mean any apology you'd give now. You've been beyond that for a while.
