Most Rape Is Just Lazy, Just Careless, Just Insensitive Sex

[sp1814]

According to Germaine Greer.

Is she right?

I am liking the idea of the tatt!

[kvalidir]

That is a simplistic and stupid thing to say, rape is often devastating for years if not forever, to liken that to grim sex is indicative I think of Germaine Greer's complete lack of understanding of the human condition and insulting to many women who have been raped and are suffering from PTSD, it's implying that they are somehow remiss or not strong enough to represent what her ideas of a woman are. Well stuff her, real feminism is about equality, and rape if nothing else underlines the inequality in a man thinking it's okay to compel a woman to have sex with him. If she can't understand that she's certainly not a feminist and not a very nice human being either.

I have read all she said.....including that she was beaten badly and raped but didn't report it as she wasn't angry enough and maybe he'd had bad experiences in his early life....
The tattoo is one of the most stupid things she hasn't thought through .....and there are many of those....

A man found guilty of rape.....tattoed on his face then it's found he was innocent after all?

The woman is a getting more dangerous by the day....I wish she didn't have the publicity she does.... :-(

I agree Gness, you would have to be sure the person was guilty.

she's right in one major respect: the laws against rape aren't working. Few are charged, fewer still convicted. But I'd be amazed if she's correct in saying most rape is just insensitive sex. The sort of thing she's envisaging - drunk husbands demanding conjugal rights and so on - does happen, and is technically rape; but it's not something that husbands are ever actually charged with, so it's a straw man.

No, she's not right.

That's all the attention she deserves.

I wanted to smack the stupid woman.

Her musings may be how she sees it, her error is trying to get others to think likewise.

Saw this earlier..decided to ignore the daft woman and post a dog video instead.

I can't help but wonder whether Ms Greer and Morrissey have noted the recent demise of Katie Hopkin and are both vying for her vacated position.

[marval]

I do not agree with her.

[Old_Geezer]

Is some rape energetic, careful, and sensitive sex then ?
I must enrol for those night classes that I've been meaning to attend.

[Mamyalynne]

Education is a wonderful thing, yes.

[emmie]

no she is not right, as a victim i can safely say that she should shut the hell up and pray she is never in that position.

[emmie]

if she was beaten and raped why didn;t she report it.

[waterboatman]

That's about what I'd expect from that stupid woman. She's obviously never been raped. I have a dear friend who was. It changed a lovely happy girl into a terrified girl unable to go out alone for many years.

[youngmafbog]

I think she has lost the plot.

[Old_Geezer]

I think I can see how she comes to her conclusion. When the term rape is appied in it's widest sense it will include many different situations; and the word loses some of it's meaning. Some situations being more horrific than others. She mentions in the article having sex with a partner when one is not being in the mood for it. That is different to an assault in the street, or even when forced upon you at a party where you can't fight the assailant off. Her use of the word "most" needs explaining though. It sounds very unlikely to me, and one wonders how she reached that conclusion. Maybe she is just finding it difficult to express herself in her later years.
