The very fact that you try to see a socially driven animal like homo sapiens as a "pure individual" rather than a member trying to endear themselves to some 'group', shows you have more to mature.
I mean your premise boils down to "hate the rape, not the rapist".
I’d say the fact that something as simple as a romantic breakup can make you bitter and angry towards all women rather proves which perspective is the more mature and rational one.
Yes, I would say “hate the rape, not the rapist”, but this takes an incredible amount of maturity and understanding that most people simply don’t have, especially when you’re the victim and struggling with all of the negative emotions that come with that.
There’s also the mystery and power of forgiveness, which again, most won’t understand but which plays a huge role in all of this.
On an armchair level, you make sense. Where it fails is in the real world. Take more maturity to realize that the fantasy of "ideal" must be subservient to the "real".
If you don't blame them 'personally', when they hurt your person, you either don't respect yourself, are a sociopath, or larping.
Maybe I'm just a mature adult who understands why things don't always work out.
I also don't view people as representative of some group rather than as individuals.
Unfortunately many people here are guilty in both regards.
