CN: Rape culture, sexual violence, racism
This week, four teenagers in Sydney were arrested and charged with the rape of a 17 year old girl in an attack that lasted more than six hours. The crime was allegedly recorded and shared after the fact.
This is unquestionably an horrific and heinous act of violence that should be condemned, with support going to the victim-survivor. As someone who has spent most of my professional life publicly advocating against rape culture and the shortfalls of the legal system, I hope she gets justice.
But the fixation from some quarters on the ethnicity of the alleged perpetrators is fucking disgraceful. I have been contacted by too many Zionists DELIGHTED that a crime like this has happened, because they want to pretend Israel’s military violence and genocide is somehow justified on the basis of “preventing” sexual crimes against white women.
It’s racist, it’s misogynistic and it does absolutely nothing to end rape culture - the existence of which is more often than not denied outright, especially by the kinds of people determined to protest rape only when it suits their racist, unhinged narratives that reinforce the belief that rape is an attack perpetrated against white men and their “property”.
Rape is a problem of patriarchal violence. The majority of the world’s rapists are men. That is the only common denominator - not religion, not class, not creed.
Men.
And we have more than enough examples of white men bonding with each other via the rape of women for any of them to DARE suggest this is an “imported” problem. This narrative is intended to deflect from the crimes white men perpetrate against women and children, positioning them as benevolent protectors incapable of predation by virtue of the fact their custodianship grants THEM the right to do as they please.
Don’t forget, the western legal system enshrined marital rape as a man’s right for centuries, only beginning to criminalise it in the 1970s. It wasn’t outlawed in the UK until 1991, which was also when the NT here became the last legislature to criminalise it.
I don’t trust any man who protests rape only when it allows him to demonise demographics of men different to himself. That man is a misogynist through and through, and he should be on a watch list.
Fuck this racist bullshit. Justice for victims, in EVERY case and against EVERY perpetrator.
