On Rape as Slavery; Comment by GGT
GGT had such a fantastic comment in this thread I thought it should be reposted:
Might be nice if he pointed out as Frederick Douglas did: “Slavery is as insidious to the slave as it is to the slaveholder.”
I consider rape to be slavery.
You’d think that a (I assume, “Christian”) man might want to discourage rape by also pointing out what it does to the soul of the rapist. I couldn’t imagine having to make amends or forgive myself for committing such a crime.
Focusing on the women, like in prostitution or absentee fathers, takes all the attention from the man. The societal blame goes to the woman.
I thought this comment deserved a thread of it’ own for discussion. GGT, brava!
