Soldier rape shows up the lie of rapists being a rare species of men. When it comes to military invasion, all kinds of men from all backgrounds have no problem raping terrified women.

It goes to show you that most men have no problem violating women and girls sexually, especially if an authority figure gives them permission.

Brings to mind:

  • Imperial Japanese Army
  • Bosnia Serb forces of the Army of the Republika Srpska
  • Interahamwe militia
  • The Islamic State / ISIL / ISIS
  • Myanmar military
  • Russian military
  • American military
  • All militaries?

Large groups of men with guns never ends well for women and children.

They have no problems violating other men either. I just did some pretty disturbing reading on it.

Younger/smaller men are often the victims of soldiers if no women are to be found.

Absolutely horrendous, I can't even begin to imagine. The absolutely disgusting attitude of the soldiers too, that they can't even comprehend the problem.

Yeah that was... I'm speechless

Those men kidnapped women and girls en masse, then:

  • held them captive
  • kept them naked
  • held them in squalid conditions, in the dark
  • starved them
  • witheld medical treatment
  • beat them
  • let them die
  • repeatedly raped them
  • forcably impregnated them
  • tortured them

And then those men were baffled because they couldn't figure out what they'd done wrong.

It's astounding how men simply don't understand that women are people.

Back in the day I saw the way the "teach your sons not to rape" thing was framed and I thought it was mental. Why would someone need to be taught?

But. Turns out. They either don't know or this is yet again another weaponized incompetence kinda thing (idk if that's the right term exactly but something along those lines). I don't know which is the scarier option. If you don't spell out every single step of what they're not allowed to do, they will use it as an excuse to do it. Yet somehow they know not to do this stuff to other men automatically

They knew exactly what they did; if it wasnt so bad they wouldn't have used it as a weapon of war.

Exactly.
