This is a ridiculously weak argument.
According to RAINN, 9 out of 10 rape victims are women, and the majority of male victims are either prisoners or children, which is another whole class of crime in itself.
What is being proposed by the photo (joking or not) is rape against women, pure and simple. And we have a worldwide epidemic: 1 in 6 women will be victimized in their lifetime.
Maybe the majority of HN readers are too young or socially isolated to have a close relationship with a woman who has been a victim. But when you see what it does to real human beings, then it's hard to be so damn callous about this.
- theorique 13y agoThe oft-repeated RAINN data is suspect and based on questionable statistics and speculations. It is certainly not derived from actual criminal reporting data.
