Question

This is for english class. Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

Wow, crazy subject for an English class! There are so many answers to that. When it began? Very early in history I'm sure. Most people think of rape as a pervert waiting in an alley or wherever for a woman to come along and... Rape is usually about power. It is being used in places in Africa now as a form a warfare. By raping the women, you take them from their husbands and fathers, look up Darfur and Amnesty International for more on that. It is also used in prisons to instill fear in the weak, gain or keep power. Then there are things like date rape, where the lines can be blurry as to who wanted what. There are also date rape drugs. Then of course you have all kinds of wierdos out there that prey on others for whatever reason, but rape is not about sex. Hope I didn't ramble too much to be of help, but it's a huge subject. Best of luck on your project.
