  • Uh yeah, I’m not going to go to jail over dishonesty. I’m not going to play martyr for some unknown mass of strangers that doesn’t care about me. And you talk about SA and those victims but prison is also a terrible fate unto itself that your argument entirely ignores. It’s like flippant to send someone to prison for years. Imagine if people were that dismissive about SA. Like prison conditions aren’t arguably worse being a risk if consistent SA and who knows how much other horrors.

    Should I now counter argue that you bringing up SA without acknowledging the horrors of prison is dismissive of men’s issues because of a for profit prison industrial complex?

    Everything affects everything. You bring up something, someone is always going to bring up another side. That’s how discourse works.

    But yeah, at the end of the day, my answer is ya, I won’t punish the innocent in order to punish the guilty as a general rule. It may not be utilitarian, but that’s what my gut says is moral. And that’s the best I can go on.

    Reminds me of the moral dilemma in the movie Unthinkable.










  • Sounds like you have some form of autism. As a neurodivergent I feel like we need to be aware of the ways in which our natural mannerisms and thought processes can be misinterpreted by others. But I also feel like everyone is entitled to their feelings. They can feel violated by your words because they didn’t understand where you were coming from. You can feel hurt that people assumed the worst. It is what it is. You need to own your part in what happened, but don’t beat yourself up about it either.

    If it was an honest misunderstanding, that happens. People who want to fight or be a victim are going to do that. People who want to understand are going to seek understanding.
