    We also have to consider that maybe rape victims and rapists have a different number of acquaintances. And there’s association effects, too. If someone is a nice person I’d expect it more likely they know a rape victim than a rapist, regardless of gender.

      I always feel like there’s always been a ‘wrong side of the tracks’ mentality. You’re not wrong, but the biggest rape caravan is in charge of the US federal government, pretty popular. Even this isn’t as much a matter of left and right, so much as up and down.

        Wait do I know a rapist if I’m familiar with the idea of Donald Trump from the news? Or do I have to have met them?

            Wait so the woman in the meme is condemning men for not being in a rapist’s trusted circle?

            Personally I hope the men in my life aren’t friends with rapists

              It’s accusing men of being passive observers and not speaking up about rapists that they know about, but the statistics don’t really imply most men know rapists.

                It is suggesting that a lot of men know rapists and don’t do anything about it and I absolutely positive there is no data to actually back that up.

                  Ngl, if I did know a rapist, I’d probably just tell other people and expect them to do something about it. I’m too much of a coward nowadays.

                    The problem is, even if you know someone is a rapist or any other type of sex pest, if you want to sound the alarm, you need evidence. You can privately warn people that trust you, but without evidence, it becomes credibility vs credibility.

          I think mostly categorically, doesn’t have to be any one person, but having a class of people quite clearly in control and also part of the rapist coalition is telling
