Ongoing issue with rape being prevalent in India

[Buck Edwards]

Rape happens even in the middle east. The media there just doesn't report it as much. Also women don't step out much in the middle east as they do in India. Otherwise the rates will be the same.

I can tell, just from having sex with a man, if he has the potential for rape or not. It's in his energy.

I would assume its the exception and not the rule.

Besides, you can use power dynamics within regular sex, no need to rape. Only when lack of sex and power dynamics fuse together that happens, this is the common rape case.

These backward areas of society have their own criminal power structures. Those men engaging in rape are well connected in their own gang.

It's not like that powerless loser is the one engaging in rape. If that's the case, then he will face consequences too. Power can ward off the consequences. 

Why would Andrew Tate rape someone? Probably because he is a sociopathic. He has over 400 notch count too so he isn't craving for sex nor is he frustrated. Could say the same about Trump.

You guys underestimate the number of sociopathic men in society. These men either are either quite powerful that they can ward off consequences or have too low of an IQ to comprehend the consequences of their actions. 

A well connected police officer was the rapist for the incident in west bengal. He is probably sociopathic too. There is no law enforcement because he is the freaking police and he knows his fellow police homies.

Great point.

Let's stop pretending we understand rapists, yeah? There's no one reason, there's no one-size-fits-all explanation, rapes come in subtle and gross forms. There no use trying make sense of it by summing it up to just 'power' or 'sexual frustration'.

A rapist defiles the free will of another, in a way that will certainly cause ruin to their life and body. It's obviously wrong, for those who value the life outside of their egoic self at all.

@Moutushi The culture and systemic survival of today's India allows for the possibility for rape to occur. Rape would need to be made impossible through human development to prevent it. A high consciousness person would never rape regardless of how much power they wanted or sexual frustration they harbored, because it is not an option for them.

Well, I think people here were saying that it can lead to it, as those don't really think of the consequences beforehand. It doesn't mean a sexually frustrated person is a rapist by default.

If you crave something you don't have access to, it can be challenging to consider multiple options or pathways before doing it. The important context here is that in traditionalistic countries, marriage should happen before having sex. Even if married, people are repressed. You don't really choose your partner. Even if you do, your family and relatives can ruin your life.

This is what I'm talking about. This belief. It just doesn't get reported as much. What about Bill Cosby and the infamous Donald and so many more accused of sexual mis conduct. It's not about caliber, it's a mindset.

[Davino]

I've been talking about the topic with Chatgpt and it actually sides more on the power control rather than sexual frustration. Interesting

3. Research and Evidence

Rape as a Power Crime: A significant body of research, including studies by sociologists like Diana Scully, has found that many rapists are motivated by a need to exert power rather than sexual satisfaction. These studies suggest that the act of rape is often premeditated with the intent to dominate and degrade the victim.

Rape and Sexuality: While sexual frustration can play a role, it is typically not the primary motivator for most rapists. Studies show that rape can occur in individuals who have regular access to consensual sex, further undermining the theory that sexual frustration is the main cause.

Variability in Motivations: The motivations for rape can vary widely among individuals. Some rapists may indeed be driven by sexual frustration, especially in environments where sexual expression is highly restricted, but others may be driven by a desire to exert power, a sense of entitlement, or a combination of factors.

I continued conversating with AI and this is his point of view in summary

Motivations Behind Rape in These Contexts

Power and Control

Across different regions, a common thread in the motivation behind rape is the assertion of power and control. In patriarchal societies, sexual violence is often used to reinforce gender hierarchies and suppress women's autonomy.

Sexual Repression and Misconceptions

In cultures where sex is a taboo subject, lack of education and open dialogue about sexuality can lead to misconceptions and unhealthy behaviors. This repression may contribute to sexual violence as individuals seek to express suppressed desires aggressively.

Economic Stressors

Poverty, unemployment, and lack of opportunities can lead to frustration and hopelessness, which may manifest in various forms of violence, including sexual assault. In some cases, rape is used as a means to exert control in environments where individuals feel powerless economically.

Cultural Practices and Beliefs

Certain cultural beliefs and practices can perpetuate sexual violence. For example, in some African societies, practices like bride abduction or forced marriage involve sexual assault as a culturally sanctioned act.

War and Conflict

In conflict zones, rape is often used strategically to terrorize populations, destabilize communities, and achieve military objectives. The breakdown of law and order during wars creates an environment where sexual violence can occur with impunity.

Conclusion

The motivations behind rape are complex and influenced by a myriad of factors that vary across different societies and cultures. While sexual frustration may play a role in some instances, it is often intertwined with issues of power, control, cultural norms, economic conditions, and societal structures. Understanding these diverse factors is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies and policies tailored to specific contexts.

Efforts to combat rape globally must consider the cultural, economic, and social realities of each region. This includes promoting gender equality, improving legal systems to protect victims and prosecute offenders, providing comprehensive sexual education, and addressing economic disparities that contribute to social instability. International cooperation and support are also vital in regions affected by conflict, where sexual violence is used as a weapon of war.

If this were the case prostitutes would be catering to would be rapists left and right. Why would a man that just craves pussy just doesnt go out to a pro instead of raping. 

[Bobby_2021]

I am not saying it's exclusively a power move. It's hard to get behind the eye of a rapist. Probably all the reasons have a role, including being sexually frustrated.

I don't think it's a sufficient explanation because lots of men are sexually frustrated and don't engage in rape and lots of men who aren't sexually frustrated do rape. 

But all rapes have some kind of power dynamics baked into it. 

Which is why rule of law has to be the most powerful imo.

@Buck Edwards I have to respectfully disagree with that. I have direct experience of living there and have lived in a number of middle eastern countries, and have studied this issue there, and have to say that rape is surprisingly uncommon there, despite the high degrees of sexual frustration that exists, however, marital rape is certainly an issue. Islam is a very strong deterrent against rape there, however, women are still sexually harassed there and stigmatized etc, even though the rape rate is less

What about Egypt mass rape of the reporter? 

[Nemra]

@Princess Arabia

But who said prostitution is accepted and viewed as not negative there?

Yes, Egypt is notoriously known for high rates of sexual harassment against women, obviously this issue is worse in some middle eastern countries than others

It's hard to really put in words; but as an empath that absorbs the energy around me easily I can sense a lot by just feeling. Doesn't necessarily mean he's aggressive. No not at all. He probably won't be very submissive, but not necessarily aggressive. It's in his style and manner and how he is afterwards. Not saying all, and that I'm completely correct, as it's just a feeling I'm going off. I don't condemn from feelings.

I'm just saying as a general. If it was just the lack of a vagina, there's plenty of places to fulfill that need without rape.

[Schizophonia]

A high consciousness person doesn't rape because he simply see how raping a women is dangerous for himself and just a very poor form of sexuality compared at worst to an escort, at best to a consenting girl that you like/love.

A low consciousness person doesn't rape because it's essentially a prohibition anchored in his head, and each inhibition, each ban is a constant low-grade stress in the CNS which will obviously therefore be eroticized, which can give rise to this kind of unfortunate event.

 

[Schizophonia]

Indians are on average at an lower stage of consciousness that the westerners*

[Davino]

I still believe that a human being with a healthy sexual life and with proper sex education would not rape.

In a way, considering rape as not sex related or sex motivated doesn't make sense.

Although, it seems clear that rape is a vehicle for many other issues, that can overpower the initial sex drive.
