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.

It would be nice if we could immediately jump to conversations about class struggle. But if you jump straight to talking about communist theory, you’re gonna scare some people off.
