A couple hundred years of:
“Boys will be boys”
“Girls should cover their body so as not to distract boys”
“If he bullies you that means that he likes you”
“It was just a [insert sexual assault type here]”
“Boys should take control”
It hasn’t “gotten to this point”, it has been like this forever. It was even worse in previous decades. The stigma that a woman suffers for having been raped is bad enough now. In the 1950s her life would have been ruined, while the guy was going to get off scot-free in most cases. Until recently it was legal for a man to rape his wife, and that was true until the divorce was finalized.
Juries will determine whether a man is guilty on rape trial not based on facts but on the victim’s sexual history. Even the slightest hint of impropriety on the part of the victim can result in the accused rapist being acquitted. It was far worse in previous decades.
Things aren’t worse today. Things that were regularly hidden or brushed aside are finally starting t be treated seriously. The increase in reporting and on prosecutions creates an illusion that things are getting worse, but they are not.
