Study: 43% of young men say they have been sexually coerced by women

38. hmm...

Rape ... all too common in an oppressive society where everyone
who has ever been oppressed wants to take a position of power
over another.

I do hold to the view that rape is about power and not sexual pleasure.
It is a crime against the body and mind of another, and it's very effective
at screwing people up bigtime.

Whenever a victim feels pleasure while being raped, this can result in
huge guilt and sometimes denial which can also result in the person
becoming a rapist later on.

My view is that just about anyone who becomes a rapist has been raped
themselves in some form or fashion. That doesn't make it right, but it
does make it understandable.

Here's where it gets complicated. As a whole, boys are raised to be
oppressors, and women are raised to be oppressed; so generally women
are the victims of rape.

However, in order to take on oppressor roles, boys have to be brutally
oppressed first... and this oppression can take the form of rape. Also,
oppressed girls can sometimes take on male aggression because it gives
them a feeling of power. So yes, girls/women can be sexually aggressive towards
boys/men.

But, since the oppression of women is at the heart of this oppressive society/
economy, I would automatically question ANY article that seeks to show women
as rapists according to a so=called "study." Not that it never happens, just that
it tends to obscure the fact that women and girls are currently being attacked
and demonized in a horrifically persistent and increasingly escalated way these
days.

The only answer to this problem is to end oppression.
