These Two Rape Cases Are a Lot Closer to Home Than We Like to Admit https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/22/opinion/sean-combs-dominique-pelicot.html?unlocked_article_code=1.M04.Yex4.dHDtG3Xch1Il
“But viewing women as subhuman and inferior is not just tolerated in much of American culture; it’s an integral part of it, as evidenced by double standards in the workplace, the oversexualization of women who are public figures, and the way women’s success (higher college attendance, for example) is consistently framed as a problem for men. All of these things betray an underlying belief that women’s primary value lies in their usefulness to men.
One of the predictors of sexual violence in intimate partner relationships is whether men view their partners as having low cognition or low worth. Or to put it bluntly, whether they think their partners are stupid and have little value to society beyond their ability to reproduce and aid men.
They just feel entitled to dehumanize women because there are few consequences for it. Their misogyny is unexceptional.”
