Rape Epidemic: Causes, Facilitators, Types, Epidemiology and Prevention of This Modern Disease

Although we are Homo sapiens as a species, we are not homogeneous. It is often said ‘Man is what he thinks’. While it is these thoughts that make men feel like raping--like the making of other thoughts--there are many factors that influences their actions. At the basic level, rape satisfies two of the basic instincts or urges in men: 1. Sexual urge 2. Dominating urge 1. Sexual urge or testosterone urge: Although our urges aren't homogeneous, being perennial unlike most seasonally sexual animals, and prettier than our nearest primates, we are dangerously sexual. In fact, as if it were a wake up call, as aired by our waking up with testosterone surge induced rigid genital (day begins with it), our desperate excitation can make us even seek toys, men and animals for a release. The formed self-harm, gay sex and bestiality can land even a straight man in hospital, jail in some states and jail in all states, respectively. 2. The fittest urge: While surviving till today itself makes us the 'fittest' as per the 'Survival of the fittest', excluding defence, the cruel methodology used to achieve that has been aggression. Disliking competition but loving victory, this has even seen us wiping out our competing species: the Neanderthals. In its mildest form, however, it also aids in the progress of civilization. The merging of these two instincts has not been good for mankind. While its milder form produces patriarchy, unless restrained by the factors given below, its cruder form produces sexual harassment to rape. RESTRAINERS: The Fears That Restrain us After the 'abolition' of 'might is right, by the advent of civilization, the formed fears of God, society, family and the law enhanced fear, and disciplined men's aggressive and sexual urges. This offered security, and safeguarded women and families. It wasn't smooth, however. Although aggression descended to patriarchy, with the latter asserting 'Man should not hit women' and 'Rape is the ultimate pain', revenge landed in rape. And when not punishing, while his urge and her feminine anatomy, social paucity and her being forbidden increasingly caused sexual tension in him, her yes even got him social recognition: a Casanova. Women have played a positive role too. Although man is easily aroused, thankfully, saving us from being worse than bonobos - if not, woman's arousals isn't like his. Being happy with chat and socially conditioned to analyse man by a split glance - as familiar or liked person, she disregards man's usual ogle. In turn, this 'not interested in you or sex' impression makes his brain think 'She doesn't like me', which deflates his arousal, makes him content with his fantasy alone and thus saves society. But then, (mis)impression of 'she likes me', 'needs sex', 'is loose' or 'doesn't mind sex' can act as a powerful aphrodisiac, which forces his knob to think instead. Her social smile or help, presence in wrong considered place and time, being with a boyfriend in a conservative society, social invitation or hug and a kiss can easily give that misimpression, which translates into 'It's OK to have sex with her'. This can make him naughty. And when darkness descends or her exposure ascends, or her loneliness comes alight, he veers towards rape. And when social upheavals, lawlessness and battles happen, he even thinks it is normal to rape. THE MODERN FACILITATORS: If we were to forget those upheavals, along with the facilitation of sex outside marriage, following factors in the modern civilization have facilitated rape: 1. Lessening of Fear: Amongst the above four entities, one cannot hide acts from God alone. With Darwinism causing rise of atheism and fall of the greatest fear of mankind: omniscient God, and Hell, and glamorised 'Right of Man' crowning individual choice, not community, duty, perspective and therefore lessening fear of family and Disliking competition but loving victory, this has even seen us wiping out our competing species: the Neanderthals.
