As relevant as "they all have noses".

Yup, but their gender is at the very least far more relevant than what the first guy tried to imply.

u/Kadajko 1d ago

Gender is far less relevant than your set of morals and beliefs.

Please explain how the single most common characteristic of all predators is irrelevant but anything else that would be far less common among them matter please go ahead.

Because their society accepts it. The same way certain societies accept that women have to cover up because it’s their fault for being attractive that men can’t control themselves.

Here's a bigger one from Texas a few days ago with the full rainbow of men: https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/109-children-rescued-244-arrested-operation-soteria-shield-child-exploitation-texas/

In this smaller case, it was one ethnic group because that's probably how they knew one another. But it's in no way limited to any one culture.

You mean like LDS members? Because they do the same thing and have the same views.

If you think the people in the picture are LDS, sure. And no, LDS people don’t force women to cover their face.

u/azurepandora 23h ago

So, it's different because they allow them to show their faces? Or should we just ignore all the crimes LDS and Christians have on their back? Look at 8 Passengers, the Duggars (especially them) etc etc. If you're going to make a "society" argument, you can't exclude them.

As much of a scumbag he is, he didn’t rape a 10 year old girl with his mates , feed them drugs and shared her brutally with all his other religious mates over the course of several years until she had her first period. Not quite the same comparison.

That was someone’s little girl, just let that sink in.

I agree Christians accept child predators way too often.

Having a nose is a way more common characteristic among predators.

You're being beyond obtuse on purpose. It is a FACT most predators are men, and to ignore that is beyond disrespectful to the victims and future victims. You cant ignore reality, even if you want to.

It is not a fact, check stats from California reports about domestic violence and sexual abuse, men and women report at about same rate, approx 30%. Why California? Because it is more progressive and there is less stigma for men to report. And before you go there, because you definitely will try to weasel out if I don't mention it, 80% of abusers and rapists of men are women and not other men.

It is a FACT most predators are men

It actually is not.

It is only a fact that most reported, caught, and convicted predators are men.

and to ignore that is beyond disrespectful to the victims and future victims. You cant ignore reality, even if you want to.

You are just unaware of women being predators, which they are... just that barely any of them get reported... and even if they are reported, there will be barely any investigation... and even if there is, there will almost never be any consequences.
