I’m a dude. I’ve known a couple.

I had a friend once at a party tell me to come with her, so I did. She walked up to this dude I was acquainted with, screamed at him, told everyone around that he raped her, and proceeded to beat the living shit out of him. Everyone let it happen then I drove her home.

Man here. I was once a mandatory reporter so i absolutely know some rapists. Some of the cases involved men (or women) i knew.

I do want to acknowledge that women are disproportionately the victims of sexual violence and rape, but if i could id just mention that victims of sexual violence and rape can be any gender, and the rapists can be any gender as well. I mention that since the sign kind of assumes that men won't be victims themselves or that they wouldnt tell their friends like women.

Man here as well. I was sexually assaulted at work. Company did nothing but I did spend some time in a mental ward due to having panic attacks coming back into the office.

Assaulter was a man, never got fired. I was kinda told to deal with it.


I don't think I'm friends with any rapists but it's hard to tell. I had a friend that gets like a large number of hits on Tinder and basically hooks up really often with a new chick. One day, he described how he treated one of his girls that he wanted to settle down with, I was a bit horrified. He was saying things like, "she really thought she was at my level, I had to tell her I was number one in this relationship", "I had to separate her from her friends they were getting on my nerves". I was like ... oh shit, this guy's a possible abuser. I just kinda stopped hanging out with the dude. That girl did eventually dump him which he was sobbing to me about.

I try to avoid people like that to be honest.

Because the same few guys are raping a lot of different women.

Because most non-rapist guys choose not to associate with predatory guys, while the latter's victims didn't have a choice in the matter.

FWIW I have had to excommunicate multiple people from my life based on credible accusations of sexual assault. One of them was my best friend.

I did, actually. Our college never did anything about him and I don't believe he got into legal trouble. We did kick him off of our special dorm floor at least. Piece of shit.

Who tf would go around admitting to serious crimes that'll get you shunned from most circles?

Also, I'm going to assume most rapists are serial rapists.

Personally? Because we all know the orange felon.

Also, I really hope that's not true about many women.

This is - and I cannot overstate it - a joke.
