Tonight, I have wittnessed attempted rape

I was holding an ax back home, ready to strike any a*hole who would lay a hand on my mother.

 

The only thing that will mitigate the risk is the unapologetic approach toward the phenomenon, if we keep responsibilizing women for their own aggression. it will certainly encourage more men to feel entitled enough and feel comfortable transgressing boundaries, being confident about it, since the victim will be considered faulty and the perpetrator's behavior wouldn't receive the accusation it deserves.

 

As if rape could be prevented through those 'precautions'. All it takes for rape to exist is someone feeling entitled enough to use another's body. And rape isn't a crime like the rest, it's unique in the way it uses sexual tools, and it's founded mostly on misogyny, female objectification, and the need to subjugate women. It would make no sense for a rapist to commit his crime unless he got the sensation of power he is aiming for. The best way to fight those mindsets is to dissociate sexuality from any power dynamics, sex isn't an action some individual does to another, it's a shared experience between people.

 

I disagree because there are matriarchal cultures with no word for rape. They include more than 30 000 individuals and have different norms and approaches to sexuality. Because they completely lack notions of sexual ownership and don't see sexuality through the lens of power.

 

You need to look for the matriarchal communities of central Asia, these cultures have no words for rape and war. I perfectly agree with you that it's not normal, and certainly more rooted in how our cultures perceive the man/woman sexual dynamics. The way females are more seen as sexual objects instead of participating subjects, and how long female sexuality has been vilified, along with all the elements constituting machismo.

 

I don't think it's accurate to say this, P certainly contributes to misogyny and female degradation. Most addicts experience an escalation in their preferences, which almost always leads to highly abusive, extremely violent content. This will certainly increase the rate of sexual assaults.

 

He wasn't asking me out of disbelief, he believes me and is worried because of what happened. He wrote to me a PM, and I already explained to him what I experienced.

 

Murder and robbery are equally done between genders. But rape doesn't fit this criteria , why is that ?
Rape is the only crime, that mainly targets women, why is that ?

 

Both thieves and robbers have no discrimination when selecting their targets. But rapists are majoritarily male, and their victims are mostly female , why is that ?

 

More or less, there isn't a disparity between genders concerning those specific crimes. But it's not the same for sexual offenses.

 

Hahahahaha, I see you're still sour because of our last private conversation. I didn't know you were such an emotional guy.
