and saying this is how you rape guys or even saying "just take it" (ALTHO some men do tell young guys that or say shit like 'most women want it if u get them to that point' or 'most women will say no when they really want to say yes') but what im saying is that in most societies its encouraged for males to be "go getters" and be assertative and take and go for what we want

im big on cultural relativism but this is something u see pretty much the world over, and i wouldnt even be mad at someone saying that those traits have been passed down from when most men were hunters. but that mentality is still passed down, taught, learned, socially enforced/encouraged. this coupled with societal notions that women are "weaker" and that men are the "natural" leaders is what nurtures a mentality that doesnt find rape so universally abhorrent that it might not ever happen

Its not something that men are just born with....

even amongst animals, there are mating rituals and signals, where the female signals she is ready to procreate/mate, there is nothing in nature innate about rape....

and rape as we kno it is a human construct anyway
