Tackling Sexual Violence
Mar 7, 2022How do we achieve justice for victims of sexual assault? Can we change the legal system to make it more effective? Or should we turn to social media instead? This week, we're thinking about the #MeToo movement and the criminal justice system.

There has been a war overThere has been a war over sexual harassment for a couple score of years at least. Powerful people do not care, because the harassment is in tandem with their power. Laws have little deterrent affect. As long as people with power see the harassment as a perk or privilege of their station, there can be no resolution of this egregious problem. Foucault was right. Power is infectious. And corrupting. The question is how far are we prepared to go to root out the evil? So far, not-so-good. Current examples are in your face.

The fact of male-dominatedThe fact of male-dominated society is old. Crimes such as sexual assault and harassment are, prima facie, crimes committed by men against women. We know what sexual assault is: rape, for the purpose of asserting power. Sexual harassment is considered a civil rights violation. This is wrong-headed, a priori. How do we make this right? Change the law. Lower the bar. Bring ALL such violations under criminal law.. No more velvet boxing gloves. No more aiding and abetting criminal activity.

Answers to the questions:Answers to the questions:
1. There is no justice for victims of sexual assault. Just as there is none for murder victims. The notion of retribution is, uh, absurd.
2. Yes. We must. However, there will be no systemic change without commitment.
3. Social media is a cancer. The economic rewards obfuscate the disease. It is no more than a manifestation of the contextual reality, of which I have written.
