With these revelations, I’ve been wondering what percentage of men in our nation would take advantage of women if they knew they could get away with it. See post #4 of this thread. THAT is the percentage I’m wondering about. Most men are socialized not to admit to it, but how many would do it if they could?
The other percentage, perhaps more relevant, is what percentage of men seek political office or other power positions for the express purpose of abusing others. Sociopaths experience a thrill in FORCING people to do things; they wouldn’t like it half as much if people were willing.These power brokers have women who are willing to sleep with them to get ahead but that doesn’t meet the socipathic drive to see a woman helpless and horrified but unable to escape.
I think it would be similar to what you see in Islamic countries, or in Eastern Europe, or Latin America. Some men would be nice to women - the majority wouldn't. In other words, the default state of humanity... outside of white European Puritan paternalist America. :)
What's interesting is how viciously feminism attacks the latter, which it is utterly dependent upon for its continued existence.
