Women and Assault
September 1, 2023 at 4:00 am
Every woman I've spoken to about this has been swxually assaulted at least once in their life. They also tell me that every woman they know has been assaulted at least once.
It seems endemic to me.
What measures, political or personal, can reduce the number of assaulted women in society?

Public castration (physical, not chemical) of convicted offenders.

As much as I like the idea, it would likely be no more effective as a deterrent than capital punishment for murder or amputation for theft.

I’m open to other suggestions.

If there were an easy solution, it would have already been implemented. Education will always be the best, if imperfect tool.

I don’t discount the value of education, but I still think that video of rapist having his genitals mutilated by a brawny member of the weasel family might have a salutary effect.
We might even combine the two in a mandatory class called, ‘What Will Happen If You Sexually Assault A Woman’.
