Rape is based off a desire for power.

"Why do rapists not do domestic violence" Many of them do. I don't understand where you got this notion from. A lot of domestic abusers are rapists. If someone desires power, they may choose to have a relationship so they can have a consistent victim. They may also be attracted to the person genuinely, but power is still their priority and the motivating factor.

EPA-0284 – Pedophiles and (or) child molesters

Only a small part (16,2 %) of sexual offenders against children meet the criteria (DSM-IV-TR) for pedophilia.

Keep in mind, most pedophiles in the general public never get diagnosed due to stigma, ostracization, and fear of medical torture, so it ends up diagnosed more in criminals.

Also keep in mind the way that telling someone theyre evil is going to likely make them act out, the same way that telling an addict they are doomed to their addiction will make them give into it, or telling a suicidal person they're doomed to a life of misery will make them more likely to kill themself.

These factors also contribute to statistics. Destigmatizing pedophilia means lowering the actual offense rate.

While some people who commit child sexual abuse do seek sexual gratification for the act, other factors such as power and control are also primary motivators. Many people who commit child sexual abuse seek power and control over the children they abuse, especially those who act from a place of opportunity.

Sexual assault is about power and control. It violates not only an individual’s personal integrity, but also their sense of safety and control over their life. Research indicates that while there are many “types” of people who offend sexual violence, with varying etiologies for offending, the underlying motivation of sexual assault is to degrade, humiliate and dominate the victim.

The vast majority of men who sexually abuse or assault other men identify themselves as heterosexual, reinforcing the assertion that sexual violence is about power and control.

"No, I mean-"

Oh, maybe the woman who had to pee in a public park that only had pay toilets, so she tried to hide behind the bushes but got caught? Public urination is a sex crime.

"What? No, I mean-"

Oh, maybe you mean the homeless guy who had to strip down to get his clothes in the laundromat to clean them for the first time in weeks? He tried being subtle, but someone called the cops on him, and now he's on the sex offender registry for public nudity.

"Rapists and pedophiles! Kill rapists and pedophiles!"

Oh, like the trans woman who got called a pedophile groomer for helping a trans kid escape her abusive parents?

Or maybe the black man who got labeled a rapist because he came on to another man's wife, and he decided to get back at him by charging him with rape?

How about the 17 year olds who were fooling around, fully consensually, in one of their bedrooms? That's still technically underage sex and thus rape of a minor.

Oh, or maybe you're talking about the doctor who performed genital reconstructive surgery in a state that just voted to get that classified as rape?

People will do everything they can to get you convinced rape and pedophilia are the worst crimes possible, then accuse whoever they like the least of being either a rapist, a pedophile, or both, counting on you turning on them just for being accused of the crime.

"Oh, so you're saying you don't want to kill a serial rapist?"

That's exactly what I'm goddamn saying.

Once we decide a group is okay to kill, the government will do everything they can to convince you that their political enemies are either part of that group, or just as bad as that group, to get you to kill their enemies for them.

The only way out is to accept every life as worth saving.

EDIT: If you're going to go on this post to say that no, you think you really should be allowed to kill people you decide are rapists and/or pedophiles, I'm going to block you. I have already been blocking you, because it's clear that you aren't willing to engage with what I'm saying.

Also, if someone says something like that we'd be better off with rapists being dead BUT that they won't let that opinion shape their stance on public policy, and you reply to that person to accuse them of wanting to murder people, I'm also going to block you, because what the fuck that's a completely different sentence.

EDIT 2: Since so many people seem to fail basic reading comprehension, let's state it again, in different words:

1. Killing people is bad.

2. Killing someone can never be undone by any means we have.

3. If the government can kill people, they will want to kill their political opposition and other undesirables (WHICH CAN INCLUDE YOU PERSONALLY AND ANY IF NOT ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY).

4. If there is a class of people OF ANY TYPE who the government can LEGALLY KILL, they now just need to convince you their enemies count as that class (ever wondered why there's so much emphasis on claiming gay people are pedophiles? Now you know!)

5. If there is a class of people OF ANY TYPE that the public can LEGALLY KILL, murderers just need to convince people that their victims counted as that class (I murdered him because he's a rapist. Anyway now his job is free promote me into that position plz.)

6. As pointed out in the notes (thank you everyone pointing this out!), if the penalty for a crime is death, people are much more willing to silence witnesses to that crime (for example, murdering their rape victims), which is EVEN WORSE than just committing the initial crime.

this has been happening so much as of late and im getting really tired of having to repeat that MURDER IS NEVER OKAY

you can’t undo a killing and everything isn’t black and white and good and bad in the world.

if someone doesn’t like who you are they will do and say anything to get people on their side
