13. There's no analogy that adequately describes rape

People don't keep their naughty bits in a bank vault.

I didn't say rape wasn't about sex, I said it wasn't about passion. Rape is sex without consent. Without sex there isn't rape.

Those that promote the idea that porn causes rape are essentially trying to float the idea that men are basically thoughtless apes that get hyped up on porn and then rape people or they are trying to float the idea that women who dress seductively are 'asking for it'. The crime of rape is a violent and hostile act intended to punish, humiliate, and/or hurt another person. That is the motivation, not desire or passion.
