Here's some solutions since apparently I was expected to have some:
1. Police should believe rape / sexual assault victims, and treat them as honest victims unless they find direct evidence that contradicts their story. Victims should be kept anonymous, and, so should the accused, up until they are convicted.
2. Women should receive the same length prison sentences as men, regardless of their family situation. It shouldn't matter if a women has a child, men have children too, but we don't make their children an exception to proper punishment. At the same time, society needs to grow up and realize that female teachers who rape their students are just as bad as male teachers who rape their students. It's not "lucky" for a teenage boy to be sexually assaulted by their female teacher.
3. Men should be allowed to use domestic violence shelters, preferably the same ones that women use, because male victims of domestic violence are the same kind of victims as women are.
4. Cancer sucks. Fund prostate cancer awareness at the same rates as breast cancer awareness. Or y'know, maybe just have one big "fuck cancer" fundraising charity that doesn't focus on any particular cancer.
