So I just discovered that I have been working next to the waste of oxygen that raped my best friend several years ago. I work in a manufacturing environment and I know that you can’t fire someone just for being a sex offender unless it directly interferes with work duties (in the US). But despite it being a primarily male workforce he does work with several women who have no idea what he is. He literally followed a woman home, broke into her house, and raped her. Him working here puts every female employee at risk. How is that not an unsafe working environment? How is it at even legal to employ him anywhere where he will have contact with women?

    So if we protect our communities, we’ll enable slavery. So if we don’t want slavery, we have to expose ourselves to rapists.

    Yeah, no, you can take your inflammatory, enabling garbage and shove it.

    Imprison rapists for life. Stop letting them out in society. Don’t let situations like OP’s happen in the first place.

      It’s not an either/or situation. But congratulations. You are the second or third person to respond with a ridiculous logical fallacy.

          Uh huh. Sure and which of those have you observed in my posting?

          Because draconian punishments are typically associated with conservative political positions. Hardly the bastion of women’s rights. And above is the real history of how slavery in the American Colonies was started. It was successive pushes for harsher and harsher punishments until they just decided to take the mask off.

          Forgive me if I don’t want that to happen again.
