@YoMomz I am not inclined to believe a female can be "intimidated" into not reporting an offender.
Women are NOT afraid of men because they implicitly understand men are socially conditioned to Not retaliate and there are No consequences to their accusatuons or aggravated assault/abuse.
Besides "rape shield" laws do not even reveal the identity. They are completely out of the picture. You neither know who is accusing you nor do you have your Right to face your accuser.
@sardonicsmile - Valid points.
I would just add that crazy people are out there. One such offender (prior to his offense)... tracked a mother down to the house of friends she was staying with (before my time). In the dead of night, he poured gasoline around their house with everyone inside... Quietly called the mother out, and threatened to burn the house down if she didn't comply.
She was about 19 years old, with the emotional and reasoning capacity of a woman. She complied.
@sardonicsmile - The same drive that allows women to submit at all, manifests as the fear that allows such terrible outcomes to occur - even in a police state.
Speaking more generally, it's like spoiled child who finally gets their ass whipped. They act with impunity... Until the belt finally comes out. The question at that point becomes: Who is delivering that ass whipping to the spoiled child? ➡️
@sardonicsmile - ➡️ Is it a loving parent that is imposing consequences out of love, and an effort to provide guidance when all else fails? (A loving husband & father in this analogy) ...or is it someone with bad intentions who will rape that child after the ass-whippping? (An offender who preys on a single mother's children, or even his own children)
A woman will employ the police state against the one with limits on himself (the loving husband and father), and submit to the other out of fear.
