Raped, pregnant and ordeal not over - 31 states give parental rights to rapists

[Bernardo de La Paz]

57. You are basically right. It's men. But in the USA (this election is in USA) it's mostly white males

You are right, most men want to control women. It cuts across race (whatever that is), genetic groupings, and ethnic backgrounds.

But in the USA, the men in elected office, i.e. power, are mostly white. And most of the elected officers are male and hence most are white male. Also, in the USA, most religious 'leaders' are white male, though this is becoming less so day by day.

The more enlightened the men, the less controlling they are. The more fundamentalist, ignorant, uneducated, traditionalist, and reflexively conservative, the more controlling they are.

More to the point of this thread, in the case of the state laws, it is becoming clearer that the problem lies in states not making clear exception against rapists in their laws that control visitation and custody. So it is a sin of omission, not comission. It is less a case of overt control on this specific issue, and more a case of being asleep on the job.
