Without a partner, it's just masturbation. There is no partner in rape; it is a violation of another person's body, privacy, rights, and life. It is an inherently violent act intended to exert power over a person's (usually female) bodySedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13992966189983263290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982102767930213514.post-50055073073762010602010-07-11T23:06:14.304-04:002010-07-11T23:06:14.304-04:00Reposted on my own blog - thanks.

I think it is about,"How do you dare say no to ME?"<br /><br />And the fact that so many rapes include violence other than just sex indicates to me that some men are angry at women in general. Maybe they're angry at their own mothers.<br /><br />Great list.

A few minor quibbles here and there, but really just pedantic stuff regarding definitions, nothing important.<br /><br />Although, regarding #32: My first thought was, “What the hell kind of friends do you hang out with if you actually feel the need to tell them <em>not to rape someone</em>?”.
