    Apparently this whole thing was inspired by a book: https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2020/11/15/book-review-me-not-you-the-trouble-with-mainstream-feminism-by-alison-phipps/

    In Me, Not You, Alison Phipps builds on Black feminist scholarship to investigate how mainstream feminist movements against sexual violence express a ‘political whiteness’ that can reinforce marginalisation and oppression and limits the capacity to collectively achieve structural change and dismantle violent systems.

    The author of the book believes that minorities are rapists and this is why she wrote the book. That's racist, but apparently not if you're woke. She's probably one of those people who want to "abolish prisons", whatever that means.

    So basically you're right, but from a racist/racial viewpoint. I think that if after doing her research it would have turned out that most rapists are white men she would have promoted the death penalty for rape or something.

    Edit: I was randomly reading another unrelated article and stumbled upon this phrase

    She considers the way accusations of sexual threat have been used against Black and queer people and then uses that understanding to extend empathy to those accused of sexual harassment.

    So "don't protest sexual assault if it's from a minority" is gaining track.

    Interesting how both of these are women in academia where they can further influence other people.

      93% of all sexual assaults are intra-racial. This means that White men are the primary perpetrators of sexualized violence against White women, and likewise African-American women and women of color are most commonly assaulted by African-American men and men of color. Of the 7% of sexual assaults that are interracial, 3.4% involve the assault of a Black woman by a White man, while 3.3% involve the assault of a White woman by a Black man (Menachem Amir, criminologist, 1991)

      I read that this statistic applies to all types of violent crimes, but I can't find where exactly I read that. I was thinking to make a post because I've seen a lot of people lately--especially women--talking about abolishing prisons and I was wondering "who would that benefit?" and "who are those victimized in case prisons are abolished?".
