Hot take: People who focus on punishment rather than prevention don't really care about victims.

I prefer a solution where a woman didn't get raped at all.

We should focus on both.

Cold as the last ring of hell take: criminals must be punished. Without punishment men will continue raping, harassing, stalking, groping, etc. because they know they will be just fine, especially if they are in power.

Part of punishment is deterrence. Perpetrators are protected by their community and their wealth. They think that they won't get caught, and if they do get caught they won't get punished, and if they do get punished, the punishment will be minimal. Worst case scenario: daddy will hire an expensive lawyer to get them off the hook.

Nobody would propose that we prevent murder by allowing murderers to get off scot-free and focusing on murder prevention.

Both are necessary and not mutually exclusive.
