Apparently the Consult can't achieve that unless they kill everyone else first, but they are enslaved by the Inverse Flame so they are probably wrong anyway. Worst suicide pact ever. Given they have methods for achieving immortality, why even bother otherwise?

Why bother to close the Outside? Why would you take any chances?

As much as regular law is seen as legitimate and regular law hands out privileges, to call who a sex preditor will or wont rape some distribution of 'privilege' seems to legitimise the sex preditor as some governing authority as much as regular law is legitimise.
I have to say that I'm surprised by the use of privilege in this way.

Maybe it's just the natural next step from "Men get certain benefits purely because they are male, including rationalizations for their sexual assault" but I don't think I've ever seen it used in the situation you're describing.

Not to get personal, but I was in a very brief relationship with a woman prone to extremely violent outbursts. I only got a few slaps and loogies in my face for my trouble, but her next boyfriend she stabbed. The difference here is if I laid a hand on her I could have probably very seriously injured her, while that might not have been the case in reverse.
Which it's why that has been put forth as the reason  women pick up knives and scissors. They feel inadequate so they try to even the field.

Men can physically overpower women, so I'm not so inclined to start the waterworks for some poor 200 lb. guy who got chased around the house by a girl half his size. There are definitely outliers but we're not talking outliers here.
So...he should just have controlled her or it's his fault?And he was 200 lb.?  When faced with someone with a sharp object who seems angry enough to actually hurt you the real problem here is that you're the weakling who cannot stop her.
