This is a repost from the Rosie O'Donnell thread that started Here
Some of the replies are quite long so maybe each participant should repost his answer(s) here so we can keep track of the whole discussion ?
Or shall I copy the replies in here in full ?
I am unsure how to handle this.
It started with Erna discussing this
Lynn replied as well.
which leads to Ruth

I replied thisErna said:Rape (or forced sex) is custom is many cultures, for example the Zulu culture here in South Africa. Judging by the fact that a woman is raped every 28 seconds here in SA (and that's the ones that are reported), then the whole argument (which I read somewhere on this site a while ago that only about 5% of the population is psychopaths) falls apart. Either rape is not only committed by psychopaths or a sifnificantly larger portion of the population are psychopaths...ScioAgapeOmnis said:Rape I suspect is mostly done by psychopaths themselves.
The fact that the CIA sponsors and promotes the drug trade, is also largely irrelevant in this discussion, cause remember, we have already established that the current system and it's spokesmen isn't the solution. If an individual can be convinced that rape and murder is acceptable, then I think it is fair to say that that individual is seriously under suspicion.
Now religion, there you hit the nail on the head. I suspect most wartime killings have their root in religion, and of course territory and need of resources.

How do you consider the idea that women have mostly been treated as "inferior" beings, possession or commodities ? (This is not true for all societies but has become predominant imho)
Ah my wife made me remember a Documentary we saw a few years ago about the situation in SA, maybe you'd be able to tell me if this is true : there was this rumour that made people "rape" virgins to either heal or get some protection from the HIV virus.
Is this correct ?

Ruth said:I think you are incorrect here, Tigersoap. It is true for all societies. It is true for the whole planet. We are being lied to about the 'status' of women and I guess that is just to disguise reality.Tigersoap said:What do you think about the place of woman in society as a whole ?

It wasn't that long ago when women couldn't even vote. Not long ago at all.
