Lawyers working for the Met police told a detective who had been raped by a colleague that she could not have severe trauma because she was only attacked once.

    So, Lemmy and associates.

    Is she a bastard too? The phrase is absolutist. Is a rape victim also a perpetrator of corruption and rape culture?

    Go on, now’s your chance. ‘ACAB no exceptions’ is what I see daily. Put your money where your mouth is, or shut up and stop using it.

      The implication that a victim of rape cannot possibly also be responsible, directly or indirectly, for the perpetration of rape culture is just as foolishly absolutist as you claim the phrase to be.

      Is she a bastard too?

      I mean, probably? Police systems pretty universally force cops to act like bastards in certain situations (anything to do with labor, for one), but we can’t know what she personally did.

      Because those who perpetuate the systemic abuse of others through abuse of authority can’t ever themselves end up as victims of that same system?

      That’s pigeon shitting on a chessboard level of gotcha right there.

      If a rapist is raped by a rapist is the rapist still a rapist?

      Check mate!

      How many rapists can a rapist rape itf a rapists can rape rapists?

      These are the deep philosophical questions of today.

      Ah, an enlightened centrist throwing out a phrase I have not seen once in the years I have been here to try and win some fake argument for their own fragile but stinky ego.

      Do you not see how insufferable you are behaving?
