Transphobes are so interesting why do they talk like an anime villain in a bad english dub

we need a cuteness aggression equivalent term for when you see art of your favorite character you like so much that you sincerely cannot think of anything to put in the tags that isnt "im going to start biting off my own fingers"

You know, I once asked "Why are men so obsessed with sex?" citing the extreme rapes and sexual violence we're seeing in the news right now as evidence of men's overwhelming and pathological obsession with sex. I wondered: how could the desire for an orgasm, a few seconds of pleasurable sensation, be so overwhelming for many men that they're willing to cause so much trauma, pain, and destruction in pursuit of it.

And men were offended and said I'm conflating the desire for sex with rape and went on to say rape has nothing to do with sex. "Rape is about power and totally unlike real sex", they said.

I find it interesting that men make such a hard distinction between rape and sex. If such a distinction exists in the minds of men, why are so many rapists under the impression that they're having regular sex?

Rape "has nothing to do with sex" yet the #MeToo movement was littered with men expressing that they had zero clue that their sexual expressions were considered rapey or predatory. Time and time again men expressed that they thought it was a natural, healthy expression of male sexuality to rape women. Entire discussions were had about how in the 70s, slipping a woman quaaludes to loosen her up or render her unconscious was normal. That putting your coworker's hand on your erection was flirting etc. In the ongoing rape case in France, where over 70 men raped an unconscious woman on the invite of her husband- many have so far cited in their defense that they did not think it was rape because her husband was there (the idea that a wife's body belongs to her husband clearly still in their mind).

I'm sure many Afghan men taking 10-year-olds for brides right now are under the belief that they're having normal intercourse with a "wife", instead of brutally raping a child.

This is the insidious and very slippery aspect of rape culture, men claim to know what rape is and be horrified by it while at the same time insisting the rapes they're committing are normal sex. Keeping rape distal helps facilitate rape. In this way, rape is always some almost fictional type of sex that only exists hypothetically in some other time or space, for men-it's never what they're doing in the present moment. That way, they don't have to think about what they're doing. "Yes rape is bad but any type of sex I'm having is never rape."

Much feminist theory unwittingly supports this distal conceptualization. Or rather, women making correct distinctions between rape and sex has been weaponized and appropriated for pro-rape messaging.
