So I just discovered that I have been working next to the waste of oxygen that raped my best friend several years ago. I work in a manufacturing environment and I know that you can’t fire someone just for being a sex offender unless it directly interferes with work duties (in the US). But despite it being a primarily male workforce he does work with several women who have no idea what he is. He literally followed a woman home, broke into her house, and raped her. Him working here puts every female employee at risk. How is that not an unsafe working environment? How is it at even legal to employ him anywhere where he will have contact with women?

    Fuck off, asshole. I am not defending rape.

    It’s our problem when you want to take the ability for them to care for themselves.

    And it’s not that I want them to be. It’s that society has determined they have served their time. You seem to want to force them into recidivism, which supports rape more than anything I said.

      Mate he’s an idiot at best and a troll at worst. He thinks I’m sexist because I find the idea of lifetime imprisonment a “disgusting sentiment”. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Yes the fuck you are, you vile, disgusting rape apologist. You and your ilk have:

      • Told us that rape is more recoverable than murder, therefore it’s not as bad
      • Insisted society has an obligation to feed people and therefore a known sexual predator has rights that supercede the rights of his victims or potential victims that would be violated if the company fired them to protect the rest of the workplace
      • That a company would have no liability to protect its women workers and that, in fact, the woman would create a hostile work environment for the rapist by complaining about it
      • That women should just shut up and get over it, and suffer the presence of a rapist.

      These are positions your little cult have argued, hiding behind flowery language and Motte-and-bailey arguments, and you will NOT escape responsibility for your words.

      You are a rape apologist. Period.
