@rumrunner Repeat after me…Rape is not about sex. Rape is not about sex. Rape is not about sex. (Continue until you believe it.)

Rape is about power. It’s about violence. It’s about hurting another person. It’s about demeaning women (or more rarely men, especially gay men.) When it occurs at a party, it’s about male “bonding” and status within a group of men, which may be a frat or a sports team or, especially during war, a military unit. It’s NOT about sex.
