Rape is not a crime of sex. It is a crime of control and power. Until we recognize the psychological underpinnings, we will continue to be “surprised” that this is going on.
I would think it starts with our nationalistic pride in being “the most powerful nation on earth”, moving along through the idea that we have the right to “correct” anything that needs it, regardless of what country it’s in or the circumstances surrounding it, all the way to the idea that we can control people’s thoughts by killing their countrymen.
I hope you watched Fox after the Boston bombings. Hannity was calling for torture. Many others were upset because we didn’t withhold Miranda (ignoring the fact that testimony before Miranda is not admissible in a court of law). And Coulter stated that the dead brother’s wife should be in jail because she wears a headscarf.
Evidently, the ends justify the means. The Founding Fathers would be so proud.
Shameful. Heard also that the Air force has been inundated by Christian Dominionists who are attempting to coerce all that do not meet with their approval, including the “wrong” kind of Christians.
