Japan and Rape
Scandal here. A rape club was apparently organized at an elite Japanese univeristy. A senior member of parliament said that men in Japan lacked the courage to commit to marriage and said of the rapists: "Gang rape shows the people who do it are still virile, and that is OK... I think that might make them close to normal."
Satoshi Sugita, a philosophy professor, said: "The case shows that Japanese men, especially young men are, contaminated with a rape myth that a girl who joins a party wants to have sex... Although having sex is totally different from being raped, men strongly believe that the two things are the same. It is because of an ideology that has spread in Japan through pornography... About 80 to 90 per cent of male high school students have seen an adult video, whose typical plot is a man raping a woman after having gotten her drunk." (link from politicaltheory) Anyone know anything more about this or have any thoughts?
