(8,994 posts)Okay let me try this from another angle, since this keeps drifting back to street thugs. Let's talk directly and exclusively here about husbands who force sex on their wives - I will reiterate again, husbands who force sex on their wives are scum. Cultural "norms" is a bullshit term to excuse the big gaping moral black hole in the soul of a husband who cannot heed his wife's objections and proceeds to force her into sex.
If anything, a husband who forces sex on his wife is even WORSE than a street thug. That's his wife and he doesn't have the human decency to respect her wishes concerning her body? We're talking betrayal times 9000. How in the hell are we supposed to educate a monster like that? That don't make nobody's damned sense. Think about it for a second. "I know you're my wife, I know I'm supposed to love you, but I'm going to force sex on you even if you don't want it." How the heck do you educate a mind like that? I'm utterly baffled.
I see no rational reason in this modern age for these men not to understand the word "no" from their spouses / girlfriends. "Cultural norms" just doesn't explain why a husband would disregard his wife on such a big issue as her own body.
Fine, you're right, education is the key. So let's go with that. What the hell does anyone expect to be able to reach a mind so far gone that he ignores the wishes of his wife and betrays her to hell and back by forcing sex upon her?
