We are not. We are the human race. <br /><br />Thanks, Rudy, for sharing these news and links with us. I just read Rebecca Solnit's essay, and it is mind-boggling and heart-wrenching what men do to women in our nation and in our world. It has got to stop. We can never claim to be a "civilization" as long as these atrocities against any human being occur.Thelma T.

Villaseñor has a woman think how brutal the Sgt was, but how handsome her rapist looks staring down at her. What an ugly scene in a ruined novel.<br />msedanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09527530005391318421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-8888048443564008232013-01-26T12:19:08.852-07:002013-01-26T12:19:08.852-07:00Great post, Rudy.

The key to the cure is educating males. I told my sons that no is no. Even if he and a girl are naked and she changes her mind, it's a NO. Unfortunately, the "romance" agenda in lit and movies begs the question of when no is a no and ties it up in a confusing bundle of domination and submission, masculinity and femininity. Some women think they want it and some men think they have to do it to become men.sramosobrianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03182308696816343866noreply@blogger.com
