It’s actually sick, they already get a light sentence and also getting protected by the justice system while the victim they violated is heavily traumatized, probably for life. And what’s crazier is it’s happening more, I’m seeing it daily now every time I scroll, there’s another case. Something needs to be done

    Then hush up, you’re not a woman or the stalker. You wouldn’t know. Let’s just hope it never happens to you or maybe it will and you’ll have a different view then. That’s how it usually is, some people need to feel to hear.

      I don’t need to feel the rape of my closest friend for it to affect me deeply even when it had happened so long before we met. So I’ll call pass on your hasty judgment, thank you very much.

      I could try to imagine why someone would stalk, but you’d probably say I’m finding them an excuse, so I’ll also pass on trying.

      And this is how you lose the sympathy and protection of those who could help you against creeps.

        As if men actually would help, the amount of times I’ve seen women get hit and men would just stand there or walk away. It happened to your friend and you still can’t understand, sheesh they need a new friend asap

          There comes a point in your trauma where you feel you only have the option to dig your heels deeper because otherwise you’d feel all that fighting was for nothing and you’d lose control.

          Don’t let that feeling blind you and justify acting like a piece of human garbage for your own sake, that’s probably how the monsters you hate justify their own behaviours.

            I’m not blinded. I’m just not understanding how you’re sticking up for people that do these things knowing they’re gonna come off easy. From celebrities to priest to politicians to just regular civilians.

              That’s how you interpret it, but I couldn’t care less about those people. On the other hand I care that the justice system is solid, and removing bricks on the wall just because we feel a certain way about that specific brick just weakens the wall.
