i absolutely hate this, and at the same time, you're entirely on point here. it's beginning to feel a lot like sex crimes are a rite of passage to the new regime, bonus points if it's a hate crime directed at a trans person

I'm honestly surprised they haven't lowered the age of consent to 12 whilst accusing transpeople of being pedos at the same time somehow.

What do you mean "sex crimes"? There's about to be no such thing by the end of the next 4 years. Women won't be able to report crimes

I'm pretty certain they'll still be able to report a crime, but it becomes selectively enforced and used to control people.

Or they encourage victims to speak up, then force them to marry their rapist and remove all agency from them in that marriage to prevent them from speaking about it again.

Or both.

Or something worse than all of the above.

No, I bet they won't be able to. Their husbands/fathers would be able to, but not them.

Sex crimes happen to men, too.

I wasn't talking about men, I was talking about women.
