There are many difficult gender equality issues. I am absolutely appalled by the fact that rapist can freely roam around or get negligible jail. I also know that judicial system is not perfect as many times justice is not given. I also get furious when a victim gets vile comments/death threats etc.
I would surely like to discuss all of the above issues here on DU and i am sure that my view would be same like many others.
"society promotes with viewing our girls in one way only, and a boy that is raised in privilege and entitlement" - I absolutely agree that there are few sections of society who view girls in one way (mainly in less superior) and boys in one way (mainly in more superior). It is a barbaric system and needs to be changed. I even welcome threads on DU which takes this issue and i would happily participate in it.
"studies that say 56% of college men in a study said they would rape if they could get away with it" - Yes, they are many other studies also saying x percentage of people will do theft if they can get away with it. X percentage of men would cheat on their spouse if they can get away with it. I am not sure how can we validate these studies because as long as there is a rule of law, they will not get away with it (or least think that they will not get away with it...they may get away easily due to lousy judicial system)
"do i think everyone who watches rape porn will rape? no " - Thank you for not generalizing all men.
"does it bother me that a human being can watch that shit and get pleasure. ya. as a person who has been raped, i think, you... you would be one that could watch my experience and jack off to it." - Do you think we make sure that we look into real porn videos and jack off at it.
Suppose a man watches few videos from kink.com which are of "violent" and "rough" category...do you have any problem with that ? Kink.com always shoot videos with "bunch of professional actors" who consent legally before the act. They even have post-act interviews and behind the shoot making scenes to clear any doubts.
Also, why do you think that men wouldn't want to ban any real rape videos from internet? Of ocurse, it is dis-gusting and yes, video should be taken down. Website should also be banned/taken down. Police should even try to find criminal/victim. If criminal is already caught, police should add another charges against them. I think all websites who says/promises "You will see real rape video" should be taken down/banned no matter even if they show real rape videos or "a bunch of professional actors dong role-play".
I know that currently it is also difficult to distinguish between real rape videos and "a bunch of professional actors doing role-play" so of-course i found favor any govt law which can help in this situation. How about banning "a bunch of professional actors doing role-play" videos who are without Actors info, Post-act interviews and behind the scenes? Don't you think this will help us distinguish between "real rape" videos and "bunch of professional actors doing role-play" videos? Thus, don't you think we can easily take down/ban other videos/websites who doesn't follow the rules?
"can you see how offensive,, disgusting that is?" - Yes, of course it is disgusting and that's why i have seen any videos like that.
"what if the man recorded my rape. and put it on the net. and you men were getting off on it. " - Same answer as above. I always see "bunch of professional actors doing role-play" video...There are few websites like kink etc where it is possible to make sure that i watch the same.
"do i get to look at you with disgust?" - Why at me? Yes, of course you get to look at that person with disgust who has seen that video.
