This, for example

Here's a tail of a school teacher "raping" one of her students.

But I am told that rape is violence, not sexuality.

Why do we not hear the stories of the supposed "victims" in these accounts? Where is journalistic integrity when the victim is declared to be one by other people and whose voice is never heard?

It's a disgusting process.

And, ok, yes, sexuality itself has elements of disgust in it. People are often not attractive. But so often it seems like people trying to help are making it worse.

And maybe that's the point? Maybe what we are secretly trying to do here is encourage rape?

That's more and more my conclusion - watching how society functions.

That doesn't mean I have to do it, though.

And maybe that's another point: maybe rape survivors are the positive benefit of this aspect of social structure? Maybe rape survivors are the geniuses and the leaders that try and make everything right for everyone else.

But that doesn't make sense from the viewpoint of good law. Or does it?

I don't get it.
