Quote:Interviews with rapists, interviews with rape victims. There is a whole 'rape culture' in America, and while there's a lot of knee-jerk bullshit in it, you spend enough time and effort learning, and it becomes clear. "Rape isn't about sex, it's about power" is a cliche, but it's a true one. No, I'm not saying that there are no exceptions, but it's as true as most any generalization I've run across.
It's really getting off the original topic, but I've heard this before, and thought it seemed somewhat dubious. I have no trouble believing that it's *usually* about power, but I've seen the fringes of enough really disturbing stuff to think that sometimes, maybe it actually is about sex. But how exactly do they find out?
Quote:The "Rape Fantasy" is a completely different animal, and can be both an incredibly erotic experience, and an emotional high of very high grade, but the setup for doing it right requires a level of trust and communication that is abnormal in its strength and integrity. The roots of it, though, are in power and responsibility and sex, not just sex..
(The thing that really freaks me out is anything that suggests someone could actually *enjoy* being raped. Brrrr... That goes beyond needing to wash my brain out with Bleach, I need to wash my brain out with Pita-Ten...)
As far as I'm concerned, we can tangent this thread all day long, until our board's personal Godsucker gives up.Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979
