While trusting the beliefs of experts is a
dangerous, and possibly foolish thing to do, the classifications of rapists used by some experts is interesting. (Please
excuse the sexism here in assuming the gender of the perpetrator).
- Power Reassurance Rapist - who fantasizes that he is a great lover, and that his victim is enjoying it.
This person is confused, and usually socially totally inept.
- Power Assertive Rapist - who just regards it as his right, and has no concern for the victim's feelings,
this is not really about power - the rapist just has no respect for other people's feelings, such as psychopath.
- Anger Hostility Rapist - who takes out his anger on his victim. This is largely about revenge.
- Anger Excitation Rapist - who enjoys the sadistic inflicting of pain. This is largely about power.
- Opportunistic Rapist - who just sees the opportunity and grabs it. Like a drunken person passed out on the couch after a party.
This is largely about sexual drive.
The popular feminist slogan that 'rape is not
about sex, but power' is (like most leftist slogans)
partially true.
