commarxism: endthepatriarchy: commarxism: endthepatriarchy: Due process in a rape trial is institutionalized misogyny. ‘Innocent until proven guilty’ victimizes women because it means rapists get away with their crime.

Women cannot rape men because rape equals sexual assault plus institutional power. For the same reason, women cannot rape women. Wh-what? How, exactly, is rape even related to institutional power? Rape is what people with power do to the powerless. Which is why only men can rape. Men have all the power. So you are saying women are weak? Women cannot be rapists anymore than women can be sexists. Sexism = prejudice + institutional power (more proof here) For the very same reasons: Rape = sexual assault + institutional power Domestic violence = violence + institutional power You might as well argue that men are victims of sexism! Really, now?

But, here’s your big mistake.

Rape is a definable term.

Sexism, racism, feminism, is not a definable term.

Why are these things different? Because sexism/racism/feminism are ideologies, while rape is not.

You can say that men don’t experience sexism, but you cannot say men cannot be raped without ignoring our definition of rape.

Sorry to say, your opinion may be your opinion, but your facts are wrong.
