    There is a huge, giant fucking massive difference between someone that would plausibly commit rape and someone who has committed rape.

    The main difference is in one case, someone gets raped.

      Well, yeah. There’s a huge difference for the victim. But I wouldn’t say lack of opportunity is a moral victory for the would-be rapist.

      Interesting use of passive voice.

        Brother really had no argument.

          I just think it’s interesting that even in that short comment, you avoid assigning blame to the rapist and instead choose the passive “someone gets raped”.

          Kinda like when cops shoot people. It’s always “person of interest was shot” instead of “the police shot the suspect”.

            Hey can you do me a favor real quick? Please go back and read the sentence immediately before the one you’re talking about. Specifically the part that says “someone who has committed rape.”
