I think so, but it seems mostly to boil down to reducing my nuanced and quantitative arguments to plain and qualitative arguments. My arguments are the way they are for good reason. Once butchered that way, they aren't my arguments any longer.

Even if your characterization were true, by the way, it wouldn't be an inconsistent position as you seem to suggest. You are just describing the position that it's better to stop rapes before they happen than to try to punish rape after it happens and hope for deterrence (or isolation of people so they can't be repeat offenders).

But that isn't my position.

My position is that there are no magic bullets to solve rape comprehensively. There are a variety of things we can do to help. We need to consider all of them, weighing the relative benefits and downsides of each...and even then, we have to accept that there will likely still be a lot of rapes--but fewer, and it's very important for there to be fewer because of how serious it is.

One way to have fewer is to try to increase prosecutions. I've said several times that we should try, but I've pointed out that this is not a magic bullet. I've given reasons why and explored downsides that are likely to limit how far we can go in this direction. This doesn't mean we can go nowhere. My argument was that we can't use this axis alone to get to a situation where we have a livable society but have stopped practically all rapes.

One thing that might possibly cause more rapes is to allow easier access by men to women's spaces. My point with trans advocacy is that when advocacy is for easier access by men to women's spaces as an undesired consequence of easier access by trans women to women's spaces, we should explore the concerns and the benefits and risks rather than dismiss this issue as transphobia.

It's a request for exactly the same thing that I was doing regarding increasing prosecutions. Let's think about it--take the issue seriously, figure out where the gains or losses are, understand how big of an effect there might be, and so on.

Does that make sense?
