Having not even bothered read the above linked article, I doubt they are any more rapey than the others. Men, especially in groups, are pretty rapey.
From the "I like bleak books and I cannot lie" dept, I recently picked up Missoula. Great book. Pretty damn bleak. Illuminating tho. My takeaway from the book was that our (western, American) general understanding of trauma and truth tends to fuck over rape victims. Add a bit of intense tribalism (fraternities, sports teams, etc) and give the elders of that tribe some influence in the news, politics, or law, and the rape victims are basically fucked two or three more times on the way down. |

I went to the link, but it's an audio recording of poor quality, and I can't understand how many people are talking, some at the same time, or what they are saying. The circumstances it was recorded under makes me wonder how much is true and how much is alcohol fueled macho bullshit. I've witnessed cases where a guy gets a hand job at the drive-in movie and later is all, yeah, I fucked that bitch six ways to Sunday.

I haven't read the book, but in the radio interview the author emphasized
the problem was primarily the District Attorney who would not prosecute, but used various (intimidating) tactics to turn the girls/women away from going to trial. |
