Societal collapse?

The simple answer to that one is that a campaign is arranged to make it extremely clear that absolutely everybody should press the red button and the blue button is the only dangerous one. There is being moral and pressing blue, but it is also stupid as it is the only option with personal risk.

Sorry but, if guilty, 15 years minimum, no parole. More deterrent. Build more prisons. Protect furure victims.

You aren't protecting fuck all with reactive measures like sentences or building prisons for after the crime.

Educating men not to rape is what's going to reduce rape and sexual violence.

2.8% - 4.6% of reported rapes went to court last year.

Many victims have to wait on average 12 months before court. Many, much longer.

So I'd hold on building the new prisons unless we're going to have root and branch reform of the justice system, police responses to rape and more.

Education and challenging attitudes could prevent the rape.

The rape is the mid point of the timeline

The court case and sentencing is at the end of the judicial process. Victims live with it forever.

Why are you so obsessed with only the end?

Isn't the issue there that you incentivise rapists to kill their victims as the punishments becomes essentially equal, so removing the main witness makes sense?

Possibly, unless you increase the punishment for murder as well, maybe up to capital punishment. But we've had this discussion before so not much point in the back and forth really. Nothing will change anyway until crime starts to affect those in charge.
 
No dog in this fight but educating men not to rape suggests they don't know it's wrong to start with - is that really where we are in 2026?
 
Of course they know it's wrong, they just don't give a fuck because they know that in 98.5% of cases they'll get away with it, and then those that are imprisoned are out in less than 2 years

When you get the likes of Andrew Tate and his associates pushing the idea that women are there to serve men, and even the adjacent tradwife movement, its not surprising that theres a minority of young men who regard women as property. Even more mainstream right wingers talk about how the western world is being 'outbred' and insinuating that women choosing to, shock horror, have careers, is part of the problem.

Its all getting a bit handmaids tale.....
