As Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) launches his rebellion against House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), multiple reports indicate that House Republicans are looking to get rid of the Florida congressman altogether. According to a report from CNN, an unnamed House Republican said that the caucus wants Gaetz gone — and that they may use the findings
So, how violent does the rape have to be to be called a “violent rape”? Is a slap on the ass enough? Or does it have to be face? You see where I’m going with this?
Honestly, comparing rape severity isn’t really helpful to any victim. And it’s exactly my point. Rape is rape. No matter the severity.
You can be severely drunk, but that is a number.
You can be severely in debt, but that’s also a number.
You can be severly ill, but that’s is also quantifiable.
Explain me, the different severities of rape, without sounding like a rapist who is trying to downplay and gaslight their victim.
“Nah, it’s wasn’t that bad”.
The “severity” of rape is completely down to the victim and the psychological effect it had on them. There is no tier list I’m affraid.
I understand there are circumstances that would increase the punishment, but I disagree that it’s related to the “severity of rape”.
Because laws historically have always been just, and never improved or corrected… Especially laws regarding sexual assault.
I understand that it is different, but really what I’m trying to say is that it I really think it shouldn’t be.
The “severity” should only be described by the victim.
The only thing that should matter, is the intention of the offender. I understand that mistakes happen in the heat of the moment, especially when you’re around that age of ~18.
But we’re talking about Sex traffic’ed minor abuse.

So yeah, it’s still rape.

You say “oof” and you reply with that? Holy Yikes. I’d delete that if I were you.
