The point is that the decision to report should be that of the victim, not you or anyone else.

Why are we talking about rape in a thread about ethics in games journalism?

The Year is 2017.

HR 6721 "The Hillary/Bliss Catcalling Harassment Prevention Act" has just taken effect.

It's your average day at the office. I'm toiling away at work, enjoying a pumpkin spice latte my female clerk retrieved for me this morning, and wondering what frivolous actions I will take with my 30% extra salary this weekend.

I notice my coworker, Annabelle, walking over to the water-cooler. She had recently changed her hairstyle and had it done up in a fashion that had taken quite some time. As she pressed the button down, the spout on the cooler only sputtered, the tank had become empty. She looked down nervously at the spare untapped water tank on floor. It tipped the scales at over 50lbs, too heavy for someone of her small stature to hoist onto the cooler. It was at this point, my oppression senses began tingling.

I saw her predicament from my desk and called over "Annabelle, let me help?" A resounding gasp echoed throughout the cubicles of the offices and people rolled their swivel chairs in a semi-circle around the two of us to witness the display of patriarchy firsthand.

Before deftly reaching down and grabbing the new water tank I say to Annabelle, who is frozen in place, "Your new hair looks great, by the way". A single tear, peaks from her eye. Other female co-workers pass out from the emotional downpour of the oppression. Those who hadn't feinted started feverishly dialing the authorities.
I snatch the tank and place it on top of the cooler. As soon as the tank clicks into place, the windows in the office shatter. Laser sights become fixated on my head and chest and a SWAT team bursts through the doors. I get down on my knees and place my hands behind my head, smirking uncontrollably. Annabelle, still frozen, mutters

"T-t-thank you, Mactoni..." before she can finish, I cut her off " No, nooo.." and right before the swat team placed the black bag over my head.

"It was my privilege."

...they're both examples of unnecessary pressure aimed at the victim, when it's the perpetrator of these sorts of crimes that should be targeted.

...they're both examples of unnecessary pressure aimed at the victim, when it's the perpetrator of these sorts of crimes that should be targeted.

But how are you going to catch the perpetrator if the victim doesn't report the crime (presuming there are no witnesses, of course)?

I quite agree, but there's no way to get at the perpetrator in that case.

Feminists are called that because they are looking to improve female rights to be equal to those of men, both in law and in society. Men already have these rights. That's not to disrespect men or to try to remove any rights they have, unless they are incompatible with an equal rights society.

Positive discrimination is condescending and actually imo does more harm than good to improve women condition.

Not enough women in Politics? So what? Man are more interested in it.
Not enough women in IT and programming? Also, see above.

Is there anyone complaining that there aren't enough men biologists and elementary teachers?

Shockingly sexist and outdated views here, RuySan, for shame. Girls are just as interested in science, politics, tech and gaming. Just that the opportunities are limited growing up due to being taught that 'gender normalcy' is a real thing (chemistry kits for boys, princess dresses for girls etc). Also some industries such as tech treat women so badly that women end up leaving their careers because it's too stressful to have to prove themselves all the time in ways men don't.

The notion that men and women are somehow fundamentally different species a la 'Men are from Mars...' needs to stop now. We are basically the same. Men shouldn't be ridiculed for liking ballet or drinking cocktails instead of beer (but they are); they should be able to show emotion whenever they want (poor mental health among men due to our macho culture is another thing entirely). Women should be able to work in traditional male industries without constantly having to prove themselves that they know about computers. We have a long way to go, and it's comments like yours which are stopping society getting to where it needs to get to.

But surely it's also ignorance to say that it's all just chemistry, unless you have the evidence?

Feel free to link me to multiple peer reviewed studies and meta-studies where it shows that women are clinically less interested in politics, if you can.

He'd have to link to at least zero of them to debunk the data you provided!

He made the claims - the burden of proof is on him.

What? No he didn't - you claimed it was social.
