rape is about power not sex (1 Viewer)

[SylviaB]

seriously wtf

it's obviously a load of shit

but why are feminists so obsessed with this idea

is it meant to add to their narrative of patriarchal oppression or something idk

seriously someone explain this

 

[cosmo kramer]

yeah honestly what do they get out of it eitherway. i personally couldnt care less what rape is actually about but whats the big deal with it not being about power and why is it so important.

You're different Cosmo you don't pretend to be an apolitical libertarian.

my guess is rape being about "power" means that rapists are indoctrinated by patriachal male society (and thus believe they have the right to dominate women by using them as dick deposities for their own personal amusement and that women are inferior to them and rape is a means to express one's own dominance) and this causes rape - eliminating patrichal male society means that rape will be eliminated, therefore those that oppose eliminating "patriachy" (of course by following feminist prescriptions) are pro-rape or something

idk thats my stab at it

 

[Lentern]

could you actually anser the question please I'm genuinely curious

Who and what have you read on it thus far?

 

[boris]

rape apologists

 

[SylviaB]

idk a bunch of feminist crap that didn't really explain things well

just explain it for me alright

 

[Riproot]

How is rape about power? It must e a mixture of power and sexual pleasure because men could just beat the shit out of a woman for power. Also, there are fetishists for rape, showing that certain people do it for sexual pleasure.

 

[cosmo kramer]

(he doesnt know)

 

[3PiCFail]

because feminists are a joke.

 

[MysteryGenius]

your face is a joke, shut up

 

[boris]

feminism caused rape

 

[SylviaB]

it's not about power. I want to know the ideological motivations behind advancing the meme that it is about power.

im personally not willing to make any pronouncements with much conviction to what actually motivates rape but still sylvesters question is an interesting one and something ive been thinking about for a long time too. why do feminists froth at the mouth when somebody says rape is (or even CAN BE) motivated by anything other than power.
