All that loosening up ultimately contained just more male insistence, a sense that the real problem with society was that women just weren’t putting out enough! The journey to sexual liberation was sold as a step forward for women, but it was also a clever way to eliminate the option of saying no.

Reason

It’s a form of passive aggression: imply that having sex is something you do to be polite and egalitarian.

Then, demand it. That way if you’re one of those hopeless people who thinks quantity overshadows quality, you get to have them all and feel victorious over them, like you conquered them.

In the meantime, women get more alienated and less likely to breed sensibly. Society pays.

Does this remind you of anything? Maybe r-K strategies, and how if you breed by r strategies, rape fits right in. Where are r strategies found? In the third world, which is also a rape epidemic:

Rape has been used as a brutal weapon of war in Congo, where conflicts based on tribal lines have spawned dozens of armed groups amid back-to-back civil wars that drew in several African nations. More than 5 million people have died since 1994. Women have become even more vulnerable since a rebel advance at the end of last year drove a quarter-million people from their homes and fighting this year left another 100,000 others homeless, according to aid workers.

Fistulas usually result from giving birth in poor conditions. In Congo, they are caused by violent rapes that tear apart the flesh separating the bladder and rectum from the vagina.

“Yesterday I did five fistula operations and we have more than 100 women waiting here and who knows how many out in the bush who never ever get to a hospital.”

Kinoma says it has become the norm for armed men to use guns, knives and bayonets to rupture their victims’ bodies. Sometimes they shoot bullets up women’s vaginas. Victims often are rejected by their families, contract HIV, and are left to live in pain and shame.

Also treated last week was a 4-year-old whose mother sent her across the road to get something from a neighbor. She was kidnapped by soldiers and gang-raped.

It would be comical if it weren’t so brutish:

A decade ago, illegal migration was dominated by men. Now more women are making the journey, risking rape and even death to support their families.

Rape has become so prevalent that many women take birth control pills or shots before setting out to ensure they won’t get pregnant. Some consider rape “the price you pay for crossing the border,” said Teresa Rodriguez, regional director of the U.N. Development Fund for Women.

“The normal rule, according to women who migrate, is that before leaving their countries they have to take the pill for at least one to three months to ensure that they will not get pregnant after a rape,” said Aguilar, of the group Carecen Internacional.

Many Central Americans crossing Mexico hop cargo trains, where Aguilar said “there’s almost a 99 percent chance that a woman will get raped.”

“The risk of rape is very high, not only by smugglers or by men in their same group, but also by criminals on public buses or on the cargo trains,” he said.

Legal rape and illegal rape both contribute to a breakdown of the family and a dysgenic bottleneck reducing the quality of the population.

Why would we tolerate either form of rape? Rape is rape is destruction of good things in life, like happy women and happy families and innocent children with innocent mommies and daddies who would never do such a thing. Shouldn’t we strive for that, instead of fighting for equality?
