Rapists often recall being intensely angry, depressed or feeling worth — Rape

"What win I if I gain the thing I seek? A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy. Who buys a minute’s mirth to wail a week? Or sells eternity to get a toy?"

"You cannot rape your spouse. And there’s very clear case law."

"There was a young fellow named Scott Who took a girl out on his yacht, But too lazy to rape her He made darts of brown paper Which he languidly tossed at her twat."

"The way society trains its boys and girls to think about themselves and each other determines to a large extent how rape-prone or rape-free that society will be."

"The best depictions don’t just leave it at the dramatic device of the rape itself. They use it to tell a deeper story about recovery and what effect it has on that person."

"Societies with a high incidence of rape ... tolerate violence and encourage men and boys to be tough, aggressive, and competitive. Men in such cultures generally have special, politically important gathering spots off limits to women, whether they be the Mundurucu mens club or the corner tavern. Women take little or no part in public decision making or religious rituals: men mock or scorn womens practical judgment. They also demean what they consider womens work and remain aloof from childbearing and rearing. These groups usually trace their beginnings to a male supreme being."
