You mean the one where rape and child abuse never happen and all men are innocent and all women liars? That bubble?
Your notion of a safe bubble that involves rape and pedophilia. I can't even imagine what kind of mind calls that safe.
Using rare instances to defend every single accused rapist and to denounce every single victim is to engage in willful and deliberate distortion for reasons we can only speculate about.
To the alerter and jurors who live in constant paranoia that someone might be calling another person a pedophile or rapist: The comment above that was alerted on does not refer to another poster as a rapist or pedophile. Let me break it down in English. "Your notion of a safe bubble (the one he accused me of living in) that involves rape and pedophilia," meaning it is one where I acknowledge the existence of rape and pedophilia. It is a bubble that includes examining evidence of the frequency of rape and child molestation rather than relying on a single example of false allegation from centuries past to defend an accused child molester in the 21st century. Got it? Granted, the sentence is poorly constructed and grammatically unsound, so I can understand a certain amount of confusion. But it does not come close to calling him a pedophile or rapist.
