To rape is to become an enemy. To rape is to stand with the patriarchy and become one of its shock troops. It is to step beyond simple membership of the oppressor class and to become a direct enforcer of that oppression. Why the fuck should that line be different to a nazi?

There a lines a person can cross which make them the enemy. Which make their humanity irrelevant to how we deal with them. Leftists are cool with this for fascists. Cool with it for cops. Many are cool with it for soldiers in Imperial armies. Some even for snitches. But not for rapists.

When a person has been abused, our immediate priority must always be doing what we can to care for them, to prevent further harm and to help them regain whatever autonomy was stolen from them. That will *always* take precedence over the hypothetical future salvation of abusers for me.

a few people on this site right now would do well to read this tbh. rehabilitative justice is not what you're arguing for, you're attempting to make space for perpetrators while denying the victim's right to theirs. cw: SA discussion in detail and at length theanarchistlibrary.org/library/will...
This was the thing endlessly repeated in shock and disbelief by anarchists about the KYLR discourse online: “Why are you suddenly making liberal arguments about rapists that you would never make about fascists, cops, bosses, etc? Why shouldn’t we use the anarchist toolkit here too?”

The sense of betrayal is intense. And I’ve seen literally dozens of comrades ditch social media entirely over it.

This was, of course, the intent.

Very intense Israeli bombardment is targeting Gaza City at this very moment, with warplanes and helicopters filling the skies of Gaza, alongside the heavy buzzing of reconnaissance drones. Do not forget Gaza, for it is being violently bombarded, and its blood is being shed

There is no need to restore anything to perpetrators, and that includes their careers, their families, their public image. Victims own nothing to them and neither do we as a public or as a community.

Even the most anti-state anarchist will tell you that a lack of prisons does not mean a lack of accountability, and no one has an obligation to associate with anyone else no matter how "sorry" they are. No one even considers that maybe the victim would be harmed by seeing this guy's face all over!

Thanks for sharing, Alisha. This story is exactly what I mean by the TERROR women and girls face (aka rape *culture*, not only rape). And that it's this terror that must be reversed (men should be terrified of harming/abusing anyone, and of the social consequences thereof) Thread ⬇️⬇️

Al Raven @alraven.bsky.social · 14h
Another way to put this, and I think about it constantly: The only way we can defeat rape culture is if men become absolutely terrified of doing anything wrong in terms of sexual violence, to the same extent women are terrified living under the terror of rape culture.

Before RJ became mainstream, it used to be incredibly common for RJ to not involve perpetrators at all. It was focused on repairing harm for victims. These days, most people see RJ as a mandate for the victim to change their perpetrator. It’s not fair, it rarely works, and it’s dangerous.

Restorative justice also has huge limitations in the context of sexual violence. The perpetrator must confess. There cannot be a structural power disparity between victim and perpetrator. It is not safe for intimate partner violence. It is too time-intensive for victims with multiple perpetrators.

I have a simple set of beliefs: 1. It's possible - yes, even for cis men - to not rape anybody, ever, under any circumstance. 2. Social ostracization and disempowerment of rapists is good. Rapists don't get to have anyone's sympathy even if they admit their act, see 1. 3. Terror must change sides🔪🔪

Don't let copaganda fool you — police violence is not tied to their safety. In 2025, the vast majority of killings began with police responding to suspected non-violent offenses or cases where no crime was reported.
Screenshot of chart showing how police killings in 2025 began. 680 were suspected non-violent offenses or cases where no crime was reported. 112 were traffic violations. 84 were unknown.
