cw: discussion of sa / csa and heavy use of terminology to describe the people who perpetuate that

I take an issue with the "ruling class" being dubbed "pxdo class" not because I don't think they are indeed rxpists and pxdophiles, but because of the implication.

As if it's only them and the majority of them who do it. As if the laws don't already favor rxpists regardless of their class. As if our parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts/uncles, their partners, and your partners arent also complicit and engaging in p*dophilia and rxpe.

There was an article here shared that read like it was written by a dude who has only now started to think about this topic, giving evolutionary reasons as to why "its the ruling class and not the lower class" who engages in pxdophilia (and I disagree with that assertion for multiple reasons.)

1.) The pillaging and ownership of bodies is essential to patriarchy, but is also the reward system in colonialism. This (sa/csa) is patriarchal (rooted in the nuclear family / enforced sex/gender binary) and colonialist violence (violence against those considered less than a person by the oppressor.)

2.) The reward for being a good lower-class worker bee is that you get your very own family to assault, to lie for you, and enable you.

3.) Those of us who have had the misfortune of engaging with the criminal "justice" system to punish our rxpists know that the courts will generally favor the rxpist or abuser, so it is no surprise to me that the rich also get away with their crimes.

Yeah i agree honestly, i posted about the same stuff yesterday (CW SA, misogyny, racism, antisemitism, transphobia). This is systemic, and that it is that much more egregious and organized among the bourgeois class is not due to SA being exclusive to them, it's due to their class position enabling them to fully utilize r*pe culture to their advantage. The average abuser gets a slap on the wrist after one case instead of a thousand because he does not have the ressources to orchestrate the trafficking of a thousand women and girls, but the structure that lets him walk away from his trial is the same that let Epstein off with basically house arrest when he was charged for the first time.
