Why Should I Care?

It’s always sort of irritated me to see women expound on the horribleness of men raping each other in prison. So many women seem to feel a compulsion to declare their opposition to its occurrence and their sympathy for the victims, despite the fact that males, as a class, including the ones being raped in prison, have no such compassion for raped female people. I’m not saying that if males did care about female people being raped that I’d give any more of a shit about their being raped in prison. I’m just saying that male nonchalance in the face of female people being raped makes all too stark the masochism of female people concerned about male-on-male rape.

My personal opinion is one of indifference. I don’t care at all what males do to each other, whether in or out of the prisons. I don’t feel sorry for them, and I’m not interested in doing the work of advocating for the reform of male incarceration facilities. Every time a woman adds her support to some man’s arguments about the dangers of male-on-male rape in prisons, even when she also advocates that female prisoners be kept safe from rapists (male guards), she has doubled the amount of support for male prison reform. There are now two people arguing for males, and only one expending any effort for females.

That is to say that statements such as, “It’s terrible that tranny males are at high risk of rape in male incarceration facilities, but that doesn’t mean that tranny males should be put in female prisons,” work to double the existing support for the placement of tranny males in female facilities while leaving stagnant the number of people arguing against the placement of tranny males in female prisons. It’s yet another situation in which female people seek out the moral high ground to the detriment of female interests. What makes it so painful to watch is the fact that it’s generally males coming in to demand that female people take that moral high ground. Then they repay the women who jump at their command with a pat on the head, and go on their merry way, satisfied that female people are sufficiently diverted from their own cause.
