Just dropped off the following at Echidne of the Snakes' place: "The real issue is, why do we have rapists at all? Most simpler societies don't.For more on starvation culture, enter it into the search engine below.
"I think we live with something I call starvation culture, in which we behave just the way long-starving social groups do.
In starving groups, the feeding of the self is the all-consuming passion; the ability to feel the pain or needs of others is lacking; and packs of young people steal from children, the elderly, the sick and the disabled.
"Over the millennia, we starvation cultures have obliterated most of the world's healthy cultures.
"Rape is only one of dozens of ways our young men steal what doesn't belong to them. It is indicative of their inability to feel the pain of others.
"We're all in on this. No sense in getting mad at rapists. Until we deal with starvation culture, we're all just as guilty as they are."
Or, pre-order a copy of my book, Switching to Goddess: Humanity's Ticket to the Future*, which is not only about Goddesses, but also about how starvation culture lead to humanity's switch to the father/sky/war gods now threatening to wipe us off the planet.
(Oh. And I almost forgot. I also have a brand new website about Switching. Go HERE to see it.
