I saw someone else say this, but I hope they start rounding up the incels on Twitter saying “your body, my choice” as credible rape threats if what this woman said is going to be litigated with such fervor.
The rich aren’t losing money because of rape, so the cops don’t care to investigate it. It was a tongue in cheek joke implying cops only exist to protect the rich when their money is at risk. Another comment in this thread pointed out that women are regularly told “there’s nothing we can do” when they go to the police because an abusive boyfriend threatened to hurt them. They’re pointing out the special privilege cops give to the rich
Which is complete bullshit. Men are getting arrested daily on the basis of mere accusation of rape having happened. It’s illegal and it’s one of the most strongly enforced laws there is. This was the case before me-too and especially is the case since.
Unfortunately in way too many cases judges tend to side with the rapist because they’re relatable… See rapist Brock Allen Turner. That happens A LOT. that’s just the one that was publicized.
I personally know two people this happened to. The person who raped them got a slap on the wrist. One victim was a man, the other a woman. Ask around and I’m sure there are innumerable similar stories just like healthcare denials.
In many cases, it comes down to one person’s word against another’s with little to no additional evidence, making it naturally difficult to convict anyone. I’d argue that it’s better to let a guilty person walk free than to risk imprisoning someone who is innocent.

Rape doesn’t take money from the rich and is therefore not a crime.
So we should start raping the rich?
Eww I was gonna eat that.
5 second rule?
👏👏👏
Rape is too good for them.
That’s a pretty ignorant thing to say.
Clearly you don’t understand it then.
What exactly is it I’m not understanding about the false claim that “rape is not a crime”?
