"Make that kind of violation severe, reduce the backlog so the trials happen in reasonable time, send a national message to women that they matter and you'll get less assaults."

 

well good, those are solutions... whether the amounts of rape that happen will drop or not is another thing though

I tell you what.  Let's try it and find out.  What the hell is the worse that can happen?  Rapists go to prison for decades rather than get probation for 6 months?  Men and women feel more empowered to speak out about assault rather than let it go?  Why are these things considered not important enough to warrant implementation?

i didn't say anything against implementing these strategies

 

personally i think better strategies would be teaching women to protect themselves, having them carry weapons such as mace or knives etc etc etc, but when solutions like these are suggested, then its called victim blaming or some silly nonsense like that... and then nothing gets done and the problem continues to perpetuate because tbh i don't think many people care about rational solutions

 

finally i suppose all i would say otherwise is that people should be wary about implementing increasingly stringent safety measures on something as complex as sexual interaction... because as i've said, someday if you are involved in sexual activity yourself then the very measures you put into place could be used unfairly against you
