SOC101Y1 Chapter : convicted rapists chapter summary- detailed
Document Summary
Since women are supposed to be coy about their sexual availability, refusal to comply with a man"s sexual demands lacks meaning and rape appears normal. Many say that the woman lured them, unsuspecting, into sexual action. Some deniers say the woman was willing and made sexual advances: women mean yes when they say no: 34% said the woman said no and was initially unwilling. One said that women liked to be overpowered before sex, but to dominate after it begins. A member of group rape defined it as rape but said she enjoyed it. Those who claimed to be unaware that it was rape viewed sexual aggression as a man"s prerogative at the time. Many claimed that as long as a physical injury didn"t result from the rape, it was not rape: most women eventually relax and enjoy it: several men suggested they had fulfilled their victims" dreams.
