I’m not going to relitigate this. But it’s easy to see how the POV you espoused was deeply offensive to any survivor of sexual assault, and more broadly to other people.I'm really glad this thread got woken up, because since I posted it I've had another idea. Way back in early October I made a post asking Why is rape given special status as a crime? I got dumped on royally for being insensitive enough to even have the question (one person declared that I was a sociopath), but now I'm wondering if my bewilderment comes from having the same part of my brain sort of de-activated that is de-activated to eliminate visual imagery and (maybe) a strong sense of gender identity. Possible??
My brain doesn’t work like most people’s so I’m willing to entertain that this might have been the problem.
I try to apply a filter after I’ve written something. Could this be hurtful to some people? It’s an effort to do, but I think it’s a useful final filter.
