Thread Name: Rape
Subject: RE: Rape
Rape attitudes -- and laws -- blame the victim because they are based on property laws. The husband or father has damaged property. Yes, it's dreck, but there it is. Rooting out these attitudes and bringing women into full equality is the first step.

I'm afraid that rape really is about power and control; this is a particular psychopathy where these ones get off on causing terror. .they feed their own interior black holes by creating them in others. The link to male aggression is pretty clear. The better we understand our species with all our wrinkles, our hard-wiring, the better we can address this shite.

Thanks for the song, Larry.
