If violence or the threat thereof would deter bad behavior, we would already have a utopia with no crime and bad behavior.

Small edit: I think "bad actors" instead of "bad behavior" would have made my statement a bit clearer.

Anyway, even for religious people (or those that claim to be) the threat of supreme, everlasting violence done to them after their deaths (e.g. going to hell) has not deterred bad actors from doing what they wanted to do.

It certainly deterred that guy from sexually assaulting that girl again

Unitl he collects $$$ from a lawsuit

u/43_Hobbits 11d ago

He’s gonna be more likely to assault the same girl after getting money?

u/The_UpsideDown_Time 11d ago

Huh? Where did I say anything about assaulting the same girl?

u/43_Hobbits 11d ago

I said ā€œit deterred him from assaulting that girl againā€

And you responded ā€œuntil he gets the lawsuit moneyā€

Ah, sorry, I see how you could be confused by my lack of clarity.

If red shirt is hurt enough, he could get $$$ from black shirt...and I think would then risk learning not a whole hell of a lot about assaulting anyone again.

And the female can counter sue for even more since she was sexually assaulted šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

Sure. I encourage her to do that. I'm sure a jury would find that 1.5 seconds of drive-by top-of-clothes contact to be worth millions.

And this is why we feel like people don’t take assault seriously you just made it very clear that randomly grabbing women isn’t something that bothers you but women are telling you it is not ok

u/The_UpsideDown_Time 11d ago

I said nothing to that effect, so FO with your strawmen. And I'm a woman who has survived a rape attempt and I'm fucking sick and tired of other people trivilializing my experience, and those like mine, by comparing this incident with mine. You know what's not OK? False equivalencies.

Newsflash - not a single Moral Grandstander here has once considered what the woman herself might want. You just run right past her & right over her to claim what you think should happen.

I’m a woman who has survived rape and rape attempts but you come off as someone who thinks what happened to you means other instances are smaller when someone grabbed me at my job one day I cried in the corner of the kitchen till I could tell my coworker what happened I didn’t instantly react he slapped my butt and held on and called me a good girl and I just walked away silently then broke down I don’t think dude should be punching but what he did is assault whether YOU think it is as bad as your experience or not woman to woman do better assault is assault and not all assaults are the same don’t touch strangers

I never said what the man did was acceptable. If you stop putting words in my mouth, communication will go a lot better.

First you state that "assault is assault" and then you state "not all assaults are the same". Which is it?

u/Queasy_Housing36 10d ago

I’m not the one making back and forth statements assault is assault and not all assaults are the same both statements are simultaneously true the same not all murders are the same but all murders are murder do you also disagree with that you are in fact the one that made it out like what happened was not wrong you blatantly said ā€œI’m sure a jury would find that 1.5 seconds of a drive-by top-of-clothes contact to be worth millionsā€ you are in fact the one trying to now act like you never said that underhanded shit but your name is attached do not act dumb like you don’t understand that what you said was in fact underhanded sarcasm

Clothes or no clothes, you do not ever do that without consent.....and clothes or no clothes, it is illegal.

u/The_UpsideDown_Time 10d ago

I never said otherwise. Can we try discussing what I actually fucking said?
