Speaking as a man, this stuff makes me fell aggravated. I did time when I was younger. I can tell you that rapists, and child molesters are not even accepted by other criminals. We actually had a dude come in bragging that he'd raped a white girl. I guess he thought that would give him more cred with the blacks. Instead, they stood back, and watched as we beat the brakes off that dude. Do as much damage as you can before the laws fire off gas, and bean bag rounds. Anyways, I've never understood why women blame themselves in these situations. It was never them, and always the man. I do understand the mistrust, and all that. I feel for these women. I'm one those kinds of guys that wants to fix them, but knows I can't.

[@elijahmontgomery4146]

The people who say "she deserved it" because of the situation she was in piss me off too. No, you shouldn't get wasted at a house party and strut through a bunch of wasted frat rats, that's absolutely stupid. No nobody, no matter how stupid, "deserves" to get raped. The perpetrator is just as disgusting whether they raped some wasted idiot at a party, or abducted a random stranger from off the street. I don't support taking the law into your own hands... except in this case. Life in prison isn't good enough for that level of low life.

[@AudieHolland]

Thank you for your honesty. As an outsider, I have heard and read that rapists do not have happy lives in prison. *Added:* During the 1970s, the dominant theory was that women who were raped somehow 'deserved it.' You know, blaming the victim. Like today people will blame a pedestrian for being run over by a motorist - 'he/she must have been walking on the wrong side or should have worn more reflective clothing.' In those bad years, and probably during the decades before, rape was being handled dismissively by the authorities, including the police. So female victims of rape were being told 'they must have done something' that caused them to be raped.

[@OutlawCaliber13]

@@AudieHolland I don't think rapists were accepted even back then. I know some old school guys that've been in for decades, and their stance was no different. The inside vs the freeworld view is a bit different though. Call it sexist, but the general view is that men are stronger than women, and therefore you're supposed to protect them. I know some kick ass women, but in general the average woman is not going to be able to take on a man. Inside, we're warriors. We're soldiers, fighters, etc. Gang, solo, don't matter. That's the mindset. I'd trust a lot of convicts with my wife, and kid over most regular freeworld folks.

[@exlibrisas]

I always get so depressed when I read about rape crime in media of my country. This is the thing that I hate so much, that there is nothing I wouldn't want to be done to rapists. They are disgrace to men disserve the worst. Good thing that in my country rape crimes became a bit more punishable and public outcry helps to get bigger sentences for rape shitheads. After some unbelievably horrible crimes that happened in 2013-2014 public has more awareness for this stuff and I always urge women around me to be careful.

[@miesvaillanykyisyytta3252]

Whatever one's crime was, every convict is brought in to be punished and rehabilitated. By the time someone is in prison, they are already paying a heavy price and there is zero need for vengeance for retribution. All it accomplishes is the convict committing the assault gets to spend even more time with his victim by prolonging his sentence.

I've been in an abusive relationship, it was the hardest time in my life. It was so bad that I went to a women's shelter (after speaking to the police with no help to be given) to ask for help only to be met with hostility and anger. I eventually turned to feminism (which I thought believed in equality) to speak about men's rights and how we seem to be ignored by the system only to be laughed out of a meeting. I fell into a dark hole that only recently I've been able to pull myself out. I can't tell you how many MGTOW videos I watched. They only made me feel worse and spawned an anger inside me I don't have words to describe. I eventually found this channel and my anger subsided. Sydney's rationality and calm demeanor helped restore my faith in humanity, to know not only through her videos, but through the comments on them that there were more people who believed this way. Honestly thank you Sydney for being that voice who pulled me from that place and I'm happy to hear that you found your way out of a similar place. No one deserves to be stuck in such a hell.

I was physically abused by a teacher when I was a kid in the early seventies. No one believed me, because I had ADHD, and was therefore a problem child. I had to go back to that mans classroom everyday for three years. He was the end of my formal education. I was ten when I started in his “class” and thirteen when it ended. I tried to stay in school after that but quit when I was sixteen. He destroyed me, my self esteem, my confidence, and my body. He’s never been punished, or held accountable. I myself have been reasonably successful, there was a short part of my life that I abused drugs. That lasted about five years, before I realized it was a path to nowhere. It also led to some behavioral problems, especially right after it happened. As a kid when someone treats you badly you tend to think it’s okay to do that to others, (It’s not). For that I have a deep profound sadness that I may have passed that on to someone else. You will survive, you will do better, and you have a choice not to do unto others.

[@seanpurdy8230]

I would argue against this. You'd be surprised how many men struggle to prevent their own personal issues and feelings from boiling over and causing them to behave recklessly. The entire problem with abuse from both sides of the relationship regardless of gender is that they rarely stem from the person opposite the abuser. For example: The Depp-Heard scenario. I highly doubt that Johnny Depp as a person is the reason why she behaved the way she did. The way she treated him certainly didn't start with him, nor was it because of him. She brought emotional baggage with her into that relationships that could have been acquired as long ago as her childhood. Unsurprisingly, like most abusers in relationships, she either diminishes the severity of her actions or outright dismisses them as ever occurring. That's the tell-tale sign that she has absolutely no clue why she acts the way she does. She needs help understanding that so she can change. A man could be the be a perfect person to his spouse for 10 years, and then after a nasty divorce where he may lose his son, becomes an overly irate person who becomes aggressive at the thought of living the rest of his life absent of his son... like he experienced when his mom forced him away from his own father.

Humans are tribal by nature, both science and history proves that to be a fact. Humans can only care in the capacity of seeing others as an extension of themselves, in other words, as part of their tribe. For that very reason, selfishness is a necessary cruelty, because without it, we wouldn't be able to care for one another at all. Where the problem resides is in the redundancy.

That person just has not seen that side of them.Most, in fact, never get abused by those abusive, toxic individuals. Most people fall for the charming act. There are also the "perpetual victim" act that some covert abusers use to get sympathy. No one that unlucky and desperate for love would ever be abusive, right? Wrong. They play on emotion to make it seem as if their victim is the crazy, emotional abuser and often trigger something called "reaction abuse" which is a true victim being so fed up and cornered that they lash out in self-defense, thus giving ammunition to the "perpetual victim" abuser to claim the victim is the abuser. It does seem that some societies have made it a point to remove natural consequences from children which in turn seems to foster the misplaced entitlement and "I can get away with anything" mentality. The idea is that in a small town, unless the "dude" (or dudette because abusers can be women as well, they simply are not seen that way: "oh he must have deserved it" type double-standard), they will simply manipulate the crowd onto their side and not actually pay for the abuse. Did I not mention "abuse" is not limited to physical beatings and rapes? It is emotional, mental, financial, religious, etc. Often times if they leave no marks, there is little to no proof of abuse. Then it's the victim/survivor who must move away because the town has been turned against them, even if many of that town are generally nice people. Fear is not the only emotion played with, I assure you. Sympathy, kindness, love (how many have swindled someone out of money by claiming love?), etc.
