Continuation of Violence and Rape

• Child Rape

• Both boys and girls are raped almost exclusively by men

• Majority are not what you would call a classic "pedophile"

• How common --> hard to estimate, 1/6 kids suffer from some form of sexual assault

• Studies looks at who's more likely to assault kids is family members (uncles, fathers,

grandfathers, brothers, etc.)

• Incest rape is not very rare --> very distorted perception of control and love

• Male Rape

• We do know that it exists and we think is mainly happens in prisons, which it is true that it

is more common in prisons

• Happens in families, homes, schools, army, restrooms, universities, work

• About half of the men who rape were victims of sexual assault in their own childhood

• Both heterosexual and gay men are rapists, almost at the same rate

• Hard to gage how much it occurs

• Estimates about 3% of men were sexually assaulted, but this might be an underestimate

due to stigma and feelings of shame (might be higher for men than women)

• Perpetrators are almost never women

• Most perpetrators do not define themselves as gay men, and self-identify as heterosexual

men

• Aguet that ape is losel oeted to seual attatio --> rape has to do with much

more than sexual attraction and not only about the relationship between men and women, but

the relationship between men --> rape being a means of humiliation

• Thee is soeties seual desie ioled, ut thee ae oe oties that e should

consider --> revenge, sadistic tendencies, showing hate for women, political subordination,

establishing control in family relationships (just as ruthless, violent and sadistic as stranger rapes

even within marriage), establishing a sense of entitlement, male bonding, proof of masculinity,

misogyny

Gender Inequality

• soe of the most fundamental inequalities that are at the base of inequalities around us

• Politial/ideologial stae --> women teach gender studies and ethnic studies are taught by

minorities

• These issues ae ot the pole of oe ad ioities ad they affect all of us --> not a

zero sum game

• Political point of view, it's important for us to recognize who we are and how these affect us

and not leave them to women and minorities to talk about
