Newly unsealed court documents from the UK are revealing more details about the charges facing the Tate brothers, including rape and sex trafficking. CNN’s Carolina Peguero has details from Miami.
I’m not defending anyone specifically, I’m defending EVERYONE against rape culture and the cycle of encouraging violence.
The idea that someone deserves violence IS the problem. People deserve clarity, a sense of self-awareness, a lifting up of intelligent responsibility to themselves and others.
“Corrective rape” or “corrective violence” won’t bring anyone closer to a sense of empathy, or intelligent responsibility to the community and others.
At some point we have to get past these views that violence is useful, or a way to fixing things. Ultimately a better society has to be constructed, that takes effort and thoughtfulness over time… You can’t violence your way to a better world. Ultimately you have to exercise, educate, communicate, and hence form the characters that you want to have in the world. That takes effortful care, not destruction and harm.
I don’t think the prison system will change the Tate’,s perspective, I don’t think a beating will either. I think being raised in a better society probably has the best chance.
To my mind, it’s not a society where certain people “deserve” violence for the violence they decided ithers deserve. You’re just going to end up with a lot of violence and resentment if that’s your model of life.
You need to have restorative, communicative, and peaceful forms of justice, rather than a punishment and retribution model of justice. Ultimately someone has to build the better world.
