7:33 both sexual harassment and assault aren't real crimes

The same could be said for any other crime, with at least as much validity. Hell, it lies at the heart of a entire main class of crimes, fraud!
Protecting the weak is the very thing criminal law is (/ought to be) about!

I hope you feel the same way when you have your next colonoscopy.

You got there first!
Yes, the exact same logic applies to all “crimes”, including stabbing this fool right up under his ribs. If he can’t stop his assailant, then his murder is no longer a crime.
So according to you I am fully in my right to shoot you in the dick with a revolver? After all, if you and your junk cannot defend against a bullet, you "allowed” yourself to be shot by one, yes?
Try using that as defence in court.
I’m sure the judge & jury will listen as you’re dragged screaming to prison, OP.
Assuming that anyone ever said this genuinely and not as an edgelord troll: This only makes sense from the point of view that if someone “really” resisted, an offender would just give up. That rarely happens in real life; most of the time it escalates to the point where someone else has to intervene or the victim has to commit an even worse crime (or “crime” in the case of anyone who’s really cavalier about harassment and assault) to make it stop. It also only makes sense from the point of view where people aren’t responsible for their own bad behavior, at least up to a point, and anyone who doesn’t like it is responsible for doing something about it… which usually comes with the caveat that anyone lower on the social totem pole isn’t actually allowed to do anything about it that would actually work, including getting a “higher” person to intervene. This sort of thing is antisocial and often highly dysfunctional, and also a fertile ground for hypocrisy.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
