U Not Gonna Like This

has against the family is rape. According to this post at Carnival of Reaction:




It is important to understand why rape hysteria is so powerful so that we can protect ourselves against it. Arguing against the latest made-up-on-the-spot statistics will not do the trick because the feminists have no interest in truth (or in protecting women from rape for that matter). What matters to them is power and public funding.




Rape gives them this.


Just as women are hard wired by nature to protect children, men are hard wired to protect women. In particular we are compelled to protect women against rape.



Why does rape have this special power over us, as opposed to (for example) road traffic accidents?



We never see feminists protesting that women may crash their cars and yet this is a far more realistic threat. Three thousand people die each year in the UK from traffic accidents and far more are injured.



Yet where are the feminists demanding protection from cars?



The fact is that rape is a uniquely powerful way to get men to act against their own interest. Almost every war in the history of the world was fought because men could be persuaded that some other group of men wanted to rape their women. The authorities never believed this of course- their motives were the usual mix or greed and cant. Nevertheless it is always possible to get men to fight other men by crying rape.



Why is this?




To answer this we must look to our old friend evolutionary psychology.




The most frightening thing facing any man from an evolutionary perspective is not the death of his mate or even of his children. These are terrible disasters and yet it is still possible for a man to reproduce with other women. From an evolutionary perspective he is still in with a chance.



The worst thing that could befall him is that he might spend his time raising a child that is not his own. This (from an evolutionary perspective) is worse than the death of his wife!



We sometimes hear rape called "a fate worse than death." On an individual basis this is absurd, but from the viewpoint of evolutionary psychology it makes perfect sense- but only from the husbands side!



The feminists know by some strange instinct that a man is more bothered by the idea that his woman may be raped than he is by her death. They have no idea why but recognise it as a weakness to be exploited. This is why they continue to invent fantastic tales about rape- it works better than other stories.



Rape is also a good tool for the authorities to get individual men to surrender their liberties. If men are willing to die as volunteers on the Somme to protect women from rape, then he will surely be willing to accept unfavourable laws on the same pretext.



On the individual level a man can be reduced to a sort of nodding dog for feminism. All they need to do is convince him he is part rapist, or that his fellow men are part rapists. He then becomes easy to control. He may become self hating or so distrustful of his fellow man that he will only follow women. In either event, he becomes a shadow of his former self.



Understanding the reason feminists and governments obsess about some minor threats and ignore other, much more real ones will help you to gain perspective on what is really going on.



There is very little terrorism and very little rape- yet the state runs huge scare campaigns on both subjects.



Surprise, surprise! The state wants more power to protect us from these very threats!!



Meanwhile heart disease and cancer continue to kill millions. The state says nothing because there is no power to be gained by doing so.



N.B There will always be a few real cases behind every scare- they should be treated seriously but the brain should remain switched on at all times.
Just ask yourself who is profiting from the panic.
