Yes because the trauma of having to pay child support unfairly equals the trauma of having been physically assaulted.
The pain of having your body penetrated against your will the searing agony as the tissues tear from it. The fear and shame that goes along with the crime as many people judge if you asked for it.
The fact that an act that is supposed to bring people closer together an act of love is perverted so horribly and makes it very hard to ever look at that act in the same light again.
And I am not just talking about this from a female point of view. I have spent time with sexual assault victims of both sexes. And both suffer horribly.
I can't even begin to express the outrage I feel at someone equating having to pay child support with rape.
And you know for every man who has been forced to pay child support unfairly there have been men who have run out on their responsibility to support their children.
Rape has been used as a tool of terror for centuries. It was common and accepted for men in invading armies to rape the woman of the side that was invaded.
In Bosnia rape was used against woman on the other side. In Libya it is being used today.
Yes men get raped but but to try and claim that it happens to men more often is is preposterous.
In some places it is still legal for a married man to force his wife (rape) to engage in sex. In sharia law a woman who is raped in considered at fault and is often expected to kill herself because of it. Often to punish the men of a family the elders of the village order the women raped.
So please point out where in history or today where this kind of thing happens to men on a routine basis.
I find this comment... illuminating. It completely and totally demeans everything I said... diminishes it... and acts as though the sort of injustice I described was somehow acceptable and the comparison itself was "repugnant".
Did I say "Child Support" was unfair? Nah.
But you had to fall back on that in order to diminish my argument.
I said false accusations of paternity and the subsequent government sanction of that accusation are unfair.
You then go on to graphically describe physical rape and the "plight of women world wide".
I'm not really sure why. I never said rape was "good". I never said it was anything other than terrible.
It is YOU who diminish the injustice here, it is you who sneer at the comparison and it is one rather apt.
The physical pain of rape is certainly traumatic, however I would argue and I suspect many would agree it is the EMOTIONAL damage that is what most impacts the victim.
Because you're a bigot you fail to recognize the emotional impact that such actions can have on men. You view them simply as walking wallets. You consider all the injury done to them through a lense of "finances" while completely and utterly rejecting the emotional damage the above inflicts on men.
It's because you view them through that bigots lense that you never stop to once consider the alternative. Instead you bleat the mantra of the Woman Victim Eternal to the point of arguing against a statement I never made simply so you could resume shrieking said mantra.
The degree of hatred that seeps through conversations like this, with persons who are entirely comfortable with diminishing the suffering of men, casting it offhand and aside... it's frightening to behold... and all the worse because the bigot is entirely unaware they're engaged in it.
