@budududuroiu@hachyderm.io @chiraag@mastodon.online @ShadSterling@mastodon.social ”having nothing to do with criminal courts” is a quite big statement when the exact same patterns of patriarchy are on display.
I’m not saying ”controversial statement”, because clearly it isn’t, and that’s one of the problems.
Within patriarchy there are at least two rules that are relevant here: women should not be believed over men, and a man doing something to a woman isn’t committing a crime unless another man thinks it’s an infringement on his domain.

@ahltorp@mastodon.nu what's the pattern on display? You should be able to name it. Is the presumption of innocence the patriarchy? Is finding someone guilty beyond reasonable doubt patriarchy? What's the pattern on display you're talking about? The rape happening and having weak evidence can both coexist. The latter can't be used to convict someone, despite the former being true. @chiraag@mastodon.online @ShadSterling@mastodon.social
