Is prison the correct punishment for rape?

Sure, if the person is a convicted rapist who seems to not give a ****/ done it multiple times, then yeah. They clearly cant control their urges, and need to be stopped. Its not really a punishment in that case though..


However, if a person gets into a situation where it happened to be rape, as in he got a mixed signal, or just got confused, then even a long prison sentence is harsh.

Lots of people grow up thinking that you have to be the "dominant male" to "get the girl". Its why communities like theredpill exist.

The fact that so many girls swoon over 50shades doesnt really help

Prison as a system for punishment is stupid. Rehabilitation is the way to fix things properly.


A rapist is either mentally challenged or unaware of what they did. If theyre psychopaths/sociopaths and are unaware then they belong in a mental health clinic, where they can be handled properly. If they are unaware of the damage they do they need to be rehabilitated.


Kinda similar to parenting. We need to educate people not punish them and use fear.

What what?

A rapist is either mentally challenged or unaware of what they did? Are you actually serious? Did you honestly just say that rapes are only commited by those with special needs?

This is the single most hilarious thing I've read all day. Cheers.

On a side note, psychopaths are perfectly aware of their actions and the consequences of their actions. They just don't give a toss.

Someone who could justify raping someone without feeling remorse is either too stupid to realise, or is mentally ill.

Yes, psychopaths dont give a toss, because they arent as empathetic as normal people. They only see numbers. A challenge even.

I wouldnt expect a mentally stable person to rape someone, but maybe im just hoping humans are better than they actually are so I dont loose my last bit of faith in humanity.

Silly post. Majority of rape claims are fake, however men aren't valued so why not make them suffer because of a lying woman all in the name of looking life a warrior of peace. When instead you are even worse than those rapists as you like punishing innocent people in order to make up for the bad ones, why don't you hand yourself in first and br our example?

One the last note the blatant sexism cannot be overlooked "Yeah these rapists, chop their dicks off." Then saying "Ohh man or woman it doesn't matter rapists are rapists" only to cover your back. All I can see is that the assumption that all rapists are male in sexists in itself and that women are even worse sexual predators than men as they known to have relationships with minor, they are only good at hiding their tracks better and they probably aren't that scared as the justice system is non-existent for females anyways.

Silly post. Majority of rape claims are fake, .

Majority? Really?

Look at the Stanford rapist, he was given 6 months because his life was deemed too valuable to ruin even though he'd ruined some poor girls life with his actions. He was deemed a great member of society who's future was more important than a woman's.

You sound like a woman hating loser who's been rejected one too many times.

Should be left up to the person who was raped to decide.

Prison is perfectly acceptable, rehabilitation should also be the main goal to avoid repeat offenders

That's not very objective though. An independent person should decide the sentence based on whether violence was used, extent of physical and psychological trauma etc. Rape in itself does not seems to be serious enough for an offender to receive a sentence exceeding few months in prison. However, infliction of serious bodily harm whether it's physical or psychological during the course of rape should constitute to an offence deserving more serious punishment.

rehabilitation doesn't work , having no penis does work though.

This ^

If the rape can be proved then why not?

I support much stiffer sentences but I am not sure if cutting their privates is appropriate

Also I don't want rapists integrated back into society, I don't care if they're supposedly rehabilitated, the fact they did that to someone else sickens me

People who believe in rehabilitation believe people can change or learn remorse. People can't change who they are, they'll just be good at saying what society wants them to think and they feel bad for being caught.
