520,000 rapes that we know of
They might as well legalize rape now.
Dictator Trump will surely see to this.
You know what is mind boggling to me?
No matter how frustrated I got with my sex life with my ex, the thought of rape was very much a "why would you do that to someone you care about" thought response.
That says to me that the perpetrators lack the ability to really care or empathize.
How many of those 520k rapes resulted in any prosecution? How many rapists are still out there, going about life lacking any form of human empathy?
That's because rape is not about sex or being horny. Rape is about violence. It's a power play where the perpetrator's goal is to dominate and harm someone else to boost their own selfish and misguided self esteem.
Fuckin right man. My wife has said that if I "need" sex and she's not in the mood, she'll just let me do it. I tell her I can't do that, just feels wrong and rapey if she's not into it.
I can only hope these kinds of numbers mean there's a "few" highly prolific rapists out there doing a whole lot of it, but that would be way too optimistic I suppose?
A few Genghis Khan's?
