(5,397 posts)So the prevalence of rape in our society is caused by a nanny state that suppresses sexuality, because we are all secretly terrified of the sex that is plastered on every television and billboard from NYC to Honolulu...
...but wait! It's really because of our animal nature. It's not the nanny state, it's the lizard brain...
...what it is REALLY caused by is the emphasis on beauty in our culture, The sheer weight that's placed on it can result in unchosen celibacy being inflicted on even the most caring, loving guy if he isn't blessed with rugged good looks. Which will then turn him into a rapist... obviously.
After all, there's only so many times even the nicest, most caring, most loving, most sensitive man in the universe can get turned down for coffee dates before he loses control entirely and morphs into a sexual predator who stalks and then violently savages women in the night. Thus satiated he returns to his prior form. It's simple biology guys. Who are we to arrogantly think we can control it? Haven't any of you seen The Hulk?
Lastly, while I can appreciate that you are trying new approaches out there, bear in mind that there are more options besides just "pathetic milquetoast" vs. "Jersey Shore Douche-on-the-Loose." It's possible to project coolness without being a dick. I mean, what do you think... the only people out there who are getting laid are misogynistic pricks and sexual predators?
