Do men repress rape instincts?

And...we are off topic.


Rape sucks. Enough said.

 

Beautiful .... Pwned on a tangent you created and now you want out...

From a simple google search:
"Comin' 'Cross the Ohio River

There was a Kentucky redneck and an Ohio buckeye, fishing on their respective sides of the Ohio river. Just as soon as the redneck put his line in the water, he slung a fish onto the bank, and the buckeye was catching nothing, so he yelled across to the redneck, ''Buddy, I'd sure like to be on your side of the river!''

''Aight, tell ya whut, I'll shine my flashlight 'cross this river, and you can walk across this little beam of light!'' the redneck yelled back.

The buckeye replied, ''Hain't no way, buddy. I know you think I'm a fool! When I get halfway 'cross, you'll turn your flashlight off!''

On roids - is a smoker "pro-smoking" ? Not neccessarily - but I'm experienced - and no doubt more knowledgeable than you on the topic. Your failure to produce a single source to back up your "pro roid" or your "great lover" accusation demonstrates how laughable you are.

Rape is a terrible thing - of that there is no doubt - which is not the subject of this thread either - it's the existence of an INSTINCT to rape.

 

I'm a big time NASCAR fan, (Rock on Tony Stewart a.k.a. Smoke) and that doesn't make me a redneck, I just have that need for speed, but you guys are way off base and the purpose of this thread, (dumb fucks). Healthy males always have the desire to fornicate, it’s in the jeans, oops the Genes and there’s always that hidden desire of conquest, no not rape, just to conquer….Yes, there is much rape in the animal kingdom, the lower species just get on with it, where we as humans have the control to quench that urge or desire….It’s the difference between right and wrong, if we were fortunate enough to have upright parents, we have been taught this from the cradle….Unfortunately, some are lacking this upbringing or lacking that internal switch, also found in the genes….These are the rapists, the child molesters and the fucking priests….We as normal males, know that there is a look, but don’t touch policy, unless there is mutual agreement.…I have never forced myself on any woman, No, Means, No!….Behind every woman, there’s a man checking out her ass and that’s healthy, the urge for procreation, we can’t help it, it’s primal, but to act or not to act that should be the question.

 

Oh...ZING!!

Keep it coming...I'm laughing my ass off.

 

This sure is stereotyping all men as aggresive rapists. The men that rape have something deep down inside them that has nothing to do with their penis.

 

Tut, Tut, gentlemen, and I use that term lightly. The original question is, ”Do men repress rape instincts?” Why must we argue amongst our selves? We all know that we’re dogs. What more can I say?

 

That IS a stereotype .... rape i.e. intercourse without consent happens all the time ... I'd guess 95% is not the aggravated sexual assault that people imagine is rape - most of it happens with alcohol and other drugs too... I even read in "Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley" - Elvis was a rapist (former gf kinda had an Elvis thing).

 

Yeah, I'm an Elvis freak as well, so I've read about that.

I'm a woman but I feel that we have too much power when it comes to this. Too many women have cried rape to have trust in our criminal system anymore. I know a girl who broke up with her boyfriend and cried rape because he moved on to another girl too quick. Rape is the unwilling insertion of a penis in a vagina not a way to get back at someone.

 

Did you read my post? Aggressive rapists, I think not. Where did you come with that allegation, the posts I’ve read have nothing to do with stereotypes. I defiantly take offence to that!

 

This is not in anyway directed at you or anyone else on here. I feel just this whole post is stereotyping men. It is just directed at the first post that asked about men having to hold back rape instincts. It insinuates that all men have an inner rapist inside them. I'm sorry if I offended you in any way.

 

I must agree with you on that aspect, but on the other hand when a woman cries rape all too often she is ignored, i.e. "Oh, she's always been easy for other guys, I thought she would go along with it for me," Bullshit....Yes, many women do cry wolf, but there are those that are not heard or listened to. What happens to them? They must live with this invasion for the rest of there lives and the trust issue is never regained, what then?

 

I understood that completely ... you seem like someone who believes in true equality - which favours neither men NOR women. Respect to you because of that.

 

No offence taken, I'm just saying that the primal urge is always there with we the male species. The only difference is, we as normal human males have a choice to act or not to act.

 

The women who cry rape give the real victims less credibility. I think it's really sad. My sister was kidnapped when she was 16 and the charges against the guy who dropped because she made it "seem" like she was open to going away with him only because he was a friend. The gun held to her head and the stalking that led to this event had nothing to do with. It goes many ways.

 

I sincerly believe that all men do have that urge or instinct. It's a matter of choice after that. Do you understand where I'm comming from?

 

Of course I do. You're a man and certainly know better than I do.

 

You're correct again, much less credibility. I'm saddened to hear of your sister’s plight. If a person is scared enough, they will say anything, just to make the pain stop.

 

And I sincerely believe NOT all men have such urges or instincts, because I for one don't.

 

i'm with A_T on this one, all men don't have the urge to rape. i've never felt the urge to do anything like that to any woman and can't see that changing no matter what comes about in my life. just a few twisted and tormented souls out that feel the need to dominate another person through sex.

 

GODDAMN FEMINIST BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!

It is an insult to your intelligence and to humanity to assume that men have rape "instincts". An example of an instinct is "People look at the ground while walking" or "people put their harms out in front of them when they fall forward", those are INSTINCTS. How can you, shamelessly, assert that rape is an instinct? RAPE IS NOT AN INSTINCT! DOMINATION IS NOT AN INSTINCT! I agree that rape has nothing to do with sex. Rape is an assertion of power, and it is not gender related, no matter how much you would like to believe.

Men have the urge to have sex with women, but men do not have the urge to "dominate" women. There are exceptions, and they need counselling, but it is not a trait of males in general.

Nature didn't intend anything more than for us to live like monkeys, but we were made too smart. The fact that in almost all cultures that developed around the word were patriachal is not a result of an "Instinct". I believe they delevoped that way for a few reasons

1. The gender roles set up by society, where in most cases the men went out and worked, and the women stayed back at the camp and did other work, like raising children, and whatnot.
2. The lack of women was a major contributor. Women made up about 35% of the worlds population during the time of the roman empire.
3. Women are physically different than men, and that led to opprotunistic sexism. I don't know why, but I'm sure there were many instances when it would have been profitable to fabricate allegorys of woman behavior and claim they show a instablity in some area of society.

I don't not have to supress "Rape Instincts". I know you may think its crazy, men don't spend every second of every day thinking of ways to get in a womans pants.

I can't believe all this propaganda.

I believe it will fade away as women enter into the workforce and men start to stay at home, it might take a hundred or twohundred years to happen, but after ages of gender roles that doesn't suprise me.
