Thank you for your answer. I see your point. I was thinking more about the specific situation described in the comic, and not one where it had already escalated to the point where police and the justice system got involved, and I have to wonder what kind of life the cop lived through to reach the conclusion that "women fake it all the time." But even worse than there being cops like this is the fact that even if it came to light that they were like this there is a high chance they would not be punished at all.

Case in question, in my country, a cop fatally shot a guy because he "looked like he had a knife." That's already disgusting enough, but as far as I know, he wasn't going to be punished until big protest erupted. It's a sistematic issue, and unfortunately, there's not much we can do aside from voting.

With trump being elected, this issue is sure to become even worse. And since trump seems to be specifically against women's freedom, it will probably get even harder for women to defend themselves and bring the perpetrator to justice.

But I sincerely hope that a situation like that doesn't happen again, to you or anyone you know. Good luck in the future, and stay safe.

As a sidenote, and don't answer if you don't want to, why did you decline his arrest? Was there any chance that could turn against you?

Also, I want to tell you that in the US, the only thing that matters is if something is legally enforceable. That's it. If it's not legally enforceable, then there will never be any justice for the victim. So yeah, it's actually MORE relevant that official bodies explicitly are against women because it shows that we literally don't have as much power. That's fucked up and a miscarriage of justice and rights. And now that Trump was just elected, he will appoint even more judges and police and enact more antiwoman and for-rape laws including limiting abortion access, limiting divorce access, and limiting birth control access.

In areas where some of these laws have taken place already, teen girls have already birthed their fathers incest rape baby in their closet and then stabbed it with a knife after.

But yeah, pointing out women experience abuse disproportionately worse than most men, at the hands of men, is really bad I guess. Because it's more important that we focus on men's pain than women's literal enslavement and erosion of rights. And then men wonder why 4B exists and why women can't talk to them anymore to explain the basics of Feminism. They downvote you when their feelings are hurt, tell you how stupid you are as a woman to talk about these political things, and then go and vote for fucking Trump en masse and kill us all to climate change. Thanks, guys!

I declined his arrest because he was very poor and I thought the prison system would ruin his life. I felt bad for him. Because the patriarchy demands empathy for men at all times, I guess.

Eta: you are profoundly empathetically deficient if you downvote someone's abuse story like this. He didn't deserve my empathy but I gave it to him out of kindness. And you all can't even extend it to me to just not downvote? This is why women hate men. You all GET THE MAJORITY OF THE BENEFIT and you STILL treat women like trash and act like the victim! Lol! And then you all vote for fucking Trump while playing the victim and gaslighting women that women have the benefit in court when you shitheads are the ones stacking it. I fucking hate men. The only reason I'd get pregnant by a man is so I would have something of yours to kill in an abortion.
