I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. I do not think that the statistics of abuser demographics should be relevant to their prosecution. That is a different thing to the thing I was talking about.

It would seem you think that women should be presumed innocent and men presumed guilty based on the number of people in each respective demographic that have been convicted of sexual assault in a court of law, based upon this thread here.

I think no such thing, and if you got that impression from what I wrote then I must have expressed myself extremely badly.

Sexual assault sucks, no matter who does it, nor to whom. You deserve justice for what happened to you.

Here is the point I was trying to make:

  • More men are convicted for sexual assault than women.

  • Sharing pictures of a child's penis without consent sucks. Maybe it's sexual assault. Even if not, I believe it is a bad thing to do.

  • Some women do it anyway, and they get away with it because they're not seen as the sexual assault demographic. This sucks.

I can agree with all that, I think it comes off as endorsement or defense when coupled with the words of the third parties above, if that was not your intention then my mistake.

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

It was not my intention, and I do apologise if I expressed myself in a way that retraumatised you.

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 months ago

No retraumitization here, just all too used to seeing people actually minimize male victim's experience which I tend to push back against, so maybe I was a touch jumpy lol. All good!
