Is Rape Natural? Part 2, 2014 Edition

[Diablo]

Maybe they're a victim in a different kind of way?

I'm not sure what you mean.

It strikes me that rapists may be the same kind of person that you see in many walks of life: totally ruthless, self-centred, not immoral but rather amoral, just prepared to take whatever they want.

You certainly see it in sport where people will take drugs, cheat, deliberately injure opponents. You see it in business a lot too, where people will lie, cheat and steal to get what they want.

Maybe being willing to rape is the same thing, a ruthless intent to take what they want without caring about the victim. You see it another way in the movie industry where young actresses are pressured into having sex with fat old men in exchange for a role. That's rape too, in a way, or at least close.

There are plenty of those people around, for sure.
