If I’m against centering “accountability” and the “restoration” of abusers and rapists, what is it I think should be done about them?? Well, I lay exactly that out in this piece here. Use the tactics of anti-fascism! butchanarchy.medium.com/tactics-for-...

Men are more likely to be raped by another man than they are to ever be falsely accused of rape, but sure, gotta go for those extreme outliers, because fuck women amirite?

You, YOU SPECIFICALLY, Flora, are EXACTLY the kind of person who would, and WILL, stand up for my rapist who is currently studying to be a therapist, because he will cry, and claim he's changed, and being a therapist is good, and don't we want ex-rapists to be therapists? He coerced me with therapy-speak, and he will use therapy-speak to tell rape victims to forgive their rapists, and people like YOU will call it "punitive" and "carceral" to demand my rapist be stripped of power, because before a damned thing has happened, people like YOU will be there to protect his career.

Your article did, and IS DOING, tremendous fucking damage to the cause of justice. You are naive and credulous and a convenient tool for every leftist rapist who knows how to cry and claim they're sorry.

Delete your fucking article, gender traitor.

It happens with every kind of evil in existence. The rage of the oppressed is uncomfortable to witness, so people find a way to create a little fucking pocket of negative peace. Your "nuance" isn't justice, it's a cover for your discomfort with our voices crying out for justice. FUCK your peace.

I can't believe some people are taking the Jacob Geller situation as an excuse to present this as a debate over restorative justice when we literally only have the word of the rapist over whether enough work was done to even qualify for any kind of "restoration."

Here's the way I think about and approach this.
Speaking from a materialist perspective, I think it's extremely inappropriate for the first instinct so many people have to be talking about redemption and atonement rhetoric for a very literal rapist, especially one with the structural and institutional power that being a cis white male innately gives you, the kind of power that makes a university hit you with a slap on the wrist. (And this isn't just me talking, Geller himself frames his societal criticisms in structural, material terms, so he's cultivated a community that looks at things like this materially, which *is* the correct way to approach it.) Jacob Geller is *not* a victim, he's not a tragic misunderstood man being besieged by an angry mob, he is a primary structural beneficiary of multiple dominant class positions, and automatically receives a shield of people that default to seeing his career - his position as a successful, influential media figure with a hell of a lot of social capital - as something that *they* should protect for him, or that should be *protected* at all. Does this rhetoric actually serve *anyone* other than Jacob? Does a single semester suspension (something that Jacob just admitted was a slap on the wrist) and a decade of silence - while building an extremely influential position in a Left space that he *knew* would rightly approach sexual assault with disgust - count in any way as *accountability*? No. Any kind of next steps after this demand stepping away from structural power and influence, stepping away from wealth-generating platforms, as a *baseline*. *Full blown deception* in service of building influence is not *rehabilitation*. He's not *entitled* to this position. The victim (whose trauma was horrifically dragged out without any kind of consent, care, or consideration, it's absolutely true) needs to be centered above all else. Fearing for an abuser's job before even acknowledging the reality of the person he abused, to me, is a violent inversion of solidarity.Even more fundamentally, I think, there's simply a deep, ongoing structural violence in a cisgender, straight, white male occupying a dominant position as a "progressive voice" while directly benefitting from the exact institutional leniency designed to insulate men like him from the consequences of patriarchal violence. Is it correct to grant a rapist a continued position of ideological and cultural authority? At what cost to others does that come? What are we telling survivors? What are we telling women? What are we telling the marginalized and subjugated? What are we telling *other men*? At what cost does that come? Are a man's video essays more valuable than their physical safety and psychological well-being?

it’s convenient that the only way for your victim to dispute this version of events is by outing herself so you can really say whatever you want and everyone else just has to believe you I guess

This talking point about Jacob Geller's victim being outed is ridiculous. This was public information that was revealed and absolutely no one was doxed. There's a reason victims don't determine the consequences of the VIOLENT CRIME they were forced to suffer. That burden isn't theirs to carry.

It is so strange how the narrative around estrangement centers the abusers and minimizes or even blames the victims. I have to believe this is related to upcoming swell of aging/ nursing home population and that they will try to make kids foot the bill, filial responsibility will become a huge topic
