People often say that prison abolitionists have no answer for how to handle rapists. A couple times, I’ve seen prison abolitionists reply that this doesn’t matter. Most rapists aren’t imprisoned, so it’s irrelevant that they don’t have a method to stop rapists either. In effect, these people treat rapists as just a normal part of life.

I can’t actually draw a meaningful throughline between these two positions, but I’m angry and frustrated, so I’m going to pretend they’re comparable.
