"Men rape old women, and they rape tiny girls in front of their mothers. In some cases, they rape with guns and metal bars. Dying women are raped. This is about power, not sex.
Sexual Harassment Sexual harassment 101: what everyone needs to know Read more We are warned not to generalise. We must always be specific about male violence. “Not all men”, we must say, in case someone gets upset. We must not connect the horrendous violence of war zones with anything nearer our own safe spaces, our homes and gardens. And, as well as that, we must not connect what happens in UK homes – two women murdered a week – to our own lives, because then we might realise that we cannot fully live in these conditions.
To be paralysed by the fear of what men do would shrink our world."
@AnungIkwe Men rape because they want sex. Rape is commonplace throughout nature. If anything patriarchy provides an organized social structure that protects women from rape and violence, which are far more commonplace in an anarchic state of nature.
@SomaliRose@AnungIkwe I didn't justify rape, my point was that patriarchy protects women from rape relative to the baseline found in a state of nature.
@ArdainianRight@AnungIkwe You fuck wads never talk about how you shit all over peoples lawns every morning bc of nature. You somehow figure out how to use microwaves. You drive cars. You don't sleep in piles of leaves and you cook your food. Nobody ever has so much nature all over their argument as when you're trying to fucking justify rape.
