keeping it real
It's disturbing to think about but rape was probably a huge part of human evolution. Wars of conquest, killing the conquered males & "acquiring" their female booty (pardon the pun) were likely to be part of the evolution of humanity on every "corner" of the Earth. Even chimps are seen to do this (killing the males of "enemy" "tribes" and kidnapping the females), though not on as large a scale as humans.
It makes some sense, as a female who's tribe/village/nation has been overthrown & who's husband has been murdered to switch allegiance to her rapist, a man who has proven himself her husband's superior in the most primal way (survival of the fittest).
It's not really pleasant to think about & perhaps legalized & safe abortion and (hopefully) the diminishment of both organized genocide & peer-to-peer rape (not as part of ethic cleansing. It's something it makes sense to think about as a father to a little girl who I obviously want to protect.
There does seem to be a strong attraction among females towards predator like males, like the 50 Shades of Gray type who literally bind them & force them to submit (I haven't read the book so if you have please correct if this is a misinterpretation of it).
Among males there seems to be both an intense disgust towards & in some, secret admiration towards powerful predatory males. In boarding school one night in a room of four, my bunkmates were up talking, one asked "Say you were in a city & a beautiful girl walked by & you could have sex with her in the alleyway against her will & no one would know, there'd be no way you'd be found out, would you do it?". I was the only one to say I would not. Granted this was a group of adolescent boys, at least one of whom had never been with a woman (two if you count me) & likely they might have been trying to impress the guy who asked the question. This story is neither here nor there, just something that made me trepidatious & one that can't be dismissed out of hand when you hear dozens of anecdotes from women thruout your life who's dealt with some sort of sexual abuse they never reported.
The culturally accepted male ideal is the strong man who protects women against violation (though of course he is always accepted as a lover himself, if he was shunned after performing his heroics one wonders how he would behave...).
I'm sure this subject has been brooded & commented upon in much more sophisticated fashion that the treatment I've given it. If anyone has any books to recommend on it I'd be curious to devour them.
Sadly CFC doesn't have much of a female population, I'd be curious to hear what women's thoughts are on this sensitive subject.
