Thread Name: BS: 'Some rape victims should take blame'- ??
Subject: RE: BS: 'Some rape victims should take blame'- ??
mg... I see what you are getting at and, for sure, from an evolutionary standpoint, there are many primeval emotions and reactions within all of us. Rape is not uncommon in mammamls and other animal groups (I never yet saw a drunken female dolphin in a short skirt straying into the wrong side of the beach to get gang raped by a bunch of male dolphins... but nonetheless, the males do rape in gangs). However, I doubt it would stand up as a defence in any court of law.

The idea of an uncontrollable dumbstick has been talked about on this thread previously and it actually is an insult to men for us to think they are not capable of controlling their urges and erect penises. The vast majority do. Those that don't join the rapist's clan.

Women also have animal urges... and one of mine is to throw something at anyone else that suggests in any way, even by serrupticious and tenuous linkage, that any victim comes close to being responsible for being raped ;-)

I jest, of course, but not about the subject matter
