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

Continued .. This drug that is said to have been banned if invented today has never been so refined, popular and so glamorised in our history. This enticer of both sexual and aggressive urges in man turns men into beasts. Its competition with tea as a refresher isn't good news for women. 6. Masculine Insecurity: Being used to the prestige brought by division of labour, and reserving intelligence, muscle power, top position at sex and outside home domain, the male gender now helplessly watches lessening of those and the rise of power of beings that were regarded as 'lesser beings' earlier. Irritated thus, yet still retaining muscle and penetration power, and the survival of the fittest instinct, his naughtiness at appropriate time still haunts him. Despite her ascendance, her commoditisation in business, and misuse in sex industry make even boys believe girls are for their pleasure. 7. Use as a New Weapon: Although prostitutes have traditionally entertained soldiers and tit for tat rape--even gang rapes have occurred during hostilities--rape as a planned weapon to intimidate, maim, disseminate disease and disperse people is new. In Congo, its more dangerous to be a woman than a soldier. Its use against opposition in Iran is claimed. 8. Sexual Revolution Plus: Although not a weapon, with a roam with boyfriend or exposure amounting to 'loose' or 'asking for it', high gender number and excitation gap lessening release unlike in the West, family trust, secrecy and dignity taken as more important than rape and patriarchal irritation being higher, the formed Sexual Revolution Plus in the developing world almost brings epidemic of rape there. RAPE ITSELF: Although defined as vaginal penetration without her consent, all rapes are not equal in magnitude. For a start, if in the wrong side of 18, even a sex with her 'yes' can constitute rape. Consent with one, but penetration by more amounts to same. And although, which one initiates or dominates varies, needing erection and force, both desire for sex and for domination are essential. Unless during upheavals (battles, clashes), being illegal, it demands secrecy--during the act and thereafter. To subdue her, to teach her a lesson or to punish her protests, violence can be used that can result in major injuries. But then, if she is shocked, drugged, drunk or silenced by verbal threats, the act can show fewer or no marks. The included threat to kill her or her dear ones can even offer the needed continued secrecy. While threat to air, the recorded video can entice her to kill herself, fear of 'lest she spills the beans' can entice him to kill her. And when not killed, repeated rape can make her a dehumanised prostitute or a sold off sex slave. With this, suddenly greed for cash gets added to the list of reasons for rape. Unheard of before, suddenly multinational business, enlisting billions, gets birth. When money isn't, but laddish behaviour is at the enticing end, a desire for group fun can translate into gang rape. And when hostility insures, while a desire for revenge makes rape normal, a desire for victory makes rape as weapon of war. Although her 'no means no' and he is guilty of rape, unlike above in which she is totally innocent, in 'facilitated' - 'date'- 'yes yes no' rape, her ignorance or carelessness about male attitude can't be said to be so. With research saying 'Man's relation with woman can't be platonic' and 'Alcohol brings brightness', Islam saying 'When man and woman are alone, Satan is present', mum saying 'Boys are after sex' and her 'yes' to related things enticing 'She okays me' in him, her going with or inviting him to a lonely room or place, boozing and allowing hugs and kisses amounts to a 'yes yes and a no rape'. Consent with one, but penetration by several, is another problem faced by invited prostitutes and girlfriends. Irrespective of the two, with home offering privacy, her age vulnerability, and social or familial relation offering trustworthiness, rape, however, mostly occurs at home by trusted people of underage girls. EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM While Congo is full of 'rape as a weapon' and 1/4 men in a study in South Africa said they had gang raped, India sees epidemic of rape. Amazingly, the centre of women power, the West, doesn't lag behind. Its full of rape, child abuse, sex slavery and what not. The unwanted STDs, pregnancies, 'lifelessness', 'gender hostility' and suicides enhances her sorrow and that of the world. It's so bad that awareness of this almost divides our world into ones who are happy with the Modern World and ones who are not. SOLUTIONS: Rape can be lessened, but not abolished. Parallel to it being complex and multi-factorial, it needs not single, but a multi-angled approach. 1. State: With capitalists, scientists, liberals, and diehard fans being at it--it using Similarly, while fast tract courts lessen delayed justice and lessening 'reliving of rape' at court lessens her distress, making gene testing ubiquitous lessens denied justice. Camera in right places--in transports and lifts--lessens even harassment. Death penalty works only if it is seen to be done like in Shariet. However, with rape ranging from date rape to gruesome ones, 'eye for an eye' not being acceptable, justice system not being infallible and innocent in gallows bringing only bowed heads of ones living, capital punishment may not be right. Although whether porn enhances or lessens rape is controversial, it certainly excites men and gives them degraded version of women and sex. Although when alone masturbation gives release (and possibly contributes to less rape), when with a girl or when outside (mobile) unreleased desire can be dangerous. Distorted view of sex and women ads incentives. Even if not the usual porn, as an effort, violent and child porn needs banning. Why search engines should have those in their computers to feed paedophiles and others is a mystery. Sex education entices safe sex alone. Demand being of underage girls, legalisation of prostitution can't be effective. Coordinated international assessment, however, can prevent sex slavery. 2. Family: Unless under threat, non-reporting of known child abuse should carry penalty. Even if not so, stopping of repetition--especially by mum--lessens trauma. Leaving kids with trusted uncles may not help when abuse stat is skyrocketing, but parents opting for non-default porn and porn filter can help. 3. Women: Although, her increasing 'yes' satisfies him and relatively lessens rape in the West, and her continued progress lessens patriarchal irritation in the rest, these are dangerous times when women can help themselves. Although less clothes compels men to restrain, it can air 'She wants it' or 'loose' to some conservatives, and some Mullah's see rape as natural as 'flies on the exposed meat', it doesn't explain epidemic of molestation of well covered Egyptian women. In tradition again, it can also air 'educated and powerful'. But then, as noted by Muslimas, that excitation finding victim in well-dressed vulnerable girls isn't unknown. With France banning Niquab and the rest banning nipple exposure, the claimed 'I'll dress what I like' may not even be legal. Although legal exposure in safe environment e.g. shootings, women's gatherings, etc. doesn't harm and the claimed 'Men should control also be thought of. themselves' may be effective, not being prudent at other times may only amount to careless men saying 'Thieves shouldn't steal my goods'. Although her night travel in secure vehicle or with friends is safe, with lone or accompanying boyfriend amounting to 'loose' to the traditional in public transport, avoiding late night travel or introducing him as brother can help when times are bad. 4. Defensive Measures: Being a battle, self-defence can even avert rape. In insurmountable gang rape scenario, however, submission lessens retaliatory injuries. Technologies like GPS guided panic button to nearby police station, spray, penis gripper, etc. can help. 5. Women’s Groups: Answering distress calls and providing help, women's group can answer 'Who will believe me', make her come forward and deter him. Although, this is about rape of women, with him remaining exposed and her remaining anonymous, false accusation destroying his life, on balance, should ------------------------------ Thanks for reading the article.
