Dru Blood - I believe in the inherent goodness of all beings: And...rape.

"What a high incidence of rape suggests, though, is a pattern of sexual violence in our culture that is a direct result of male entitlement, and that in order to stop rape we have to eradicate male entitlement. The alarming thing is that in their desperation to secure male privilege, anti-feminists find themselves in a situation where they are arguing that we don’t have to worry about men’s power over women because men don’t avail themselves of their opportunity to rape except in very, very, very rare circumstances. To me, that’s like arguing that because the king is benevolent and only rarely has someone executed on a whim, it’s okay to have a king. "
