#90% of the problem is caused and perpetuated by the current monopolization of deadly violence by law enforcement

I'm not taking a stance on that I am pointing out that the rhetoric is not accurate.

If you exaggerate a situation you weaken your position this is axiomatic.

It really needs to stop across all realms of discourse.

If OP had meant to say that sex offenders don't deserve a chance at rehabilitation regardless of the recidivism rate then she could have just said that and we wouldn't be here at all because I would have read it and thought "Yeah that's a pretty common and consistent radfem position ¯\_(◕_◕)_/¯" and simply not commented on the post.

As it is she made a clearly false claim that has much wider implications about the nature of humanity and I corrected it, mostly because of the wider implications.

As I said, (and regardless of what laws may pass) repentance and redemption are not made up ideas they are real and people exemplify them every day.

i think not wanting people to be in prison for minor drug related offenses and not wanting people to be literally caged inside of tiny rooms/cells or performing literal slave labor for the prison industrial complex but acknowledging that rapists/child molesters/violent offenders need to be put away from society and sometimes cannot even be rehabilitated are two lines of thinking that can coexist and should be discussed at length especially when considering the safety of women and children. also you absolutely can’t rehabilitate a rapist or a pedophile
