What win I if I gain the thing I seek? — Rape

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

"Rapists often recall being intensely angry, depressed or feeling worthless for days or even months leading up to the rape. Very often the rapists say that the trigger for the rape was when a woman made them angry, usually by rebuffing a sexual overture. The men experienced the rebuff as an insult to their manhood that intensified their emotional misery."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Rape is a crime and Texas will work tirelessly to make sure that we eliminate all rapists from the streets of Texas."
