Just in time for Valentine's Day, Part IIAn interesting post entitled What Causes Rape? Anatomy of a rape culture: Men who have lost their masculinity are, in our culture's view, less than men, less even than women. They are the lowest of the low. One way to lose your masculinity is to be unable to "get" sex from a woman. This also breeds resentment of women (in much the same way that poverty can sometimes breed resentment of rich people): "how dare women not give something to me that I need so desperately? How dare women take away the masculinity that I'm entitled to?"It's an interesting take, and though I don't entirely agree with the assessment, it's well-considered anyhow. Plus, there's a lot of interesting discourse going on in the comments. Via LMB. Posted by Dana at 04:36 PM

If we really must point the rape finger, I'm pointing it squarely at Bratz.
