Ceasing to feel ashamed of accusing men of rape

dimanche 23 novembre 2014 à 13:00

American women are ceasing to feel ashamed of accusing men of raping them.

The idea of being ashamed of being assaulted in any fashion makes no moral sense to me. I can only understand it intellectually.

It was common to for families to despise women who were raped, along with women who had sex without authorization, treating women as possessions of the family rather than as persons. For instance, a legend about the foundation of the Roman Republic admires a woman for committing suicide after being pressured into sex. In some twisted societies, this attitude continues today and is the basis for "honor killings".

I suppose women internalized this condemnation and converted it into shame.
