Rapists Are Victims

Before I begin, I would like to say that: A. Them being victims themselves does not excuse their sexual assaults upon their victims. B. When I refer to the rapists as victims, I am not referring to them being victims of physical trauma; you will find out what I'm talking about soon enough. Now, I will begin. Males of virtually all species, to put this as mildly as I can, have strong desires to "mate" with females of their species. Many females. Human males are no exception. If you're an evolutionist, you'll say this is because of billions of years of evolution. If you're a Christian, you'll say that regardless why this is true, it is indeed the case, as the Bible itself has admitted in many verses concerning lust. So, you're a human male. You wanna "mate" with a human female. You've got three options: A. You stay chaste B. You get married C. You follow your primal mating instincts outside of marriage, through promiscuous behavior B is good, and there's nothing wrong with A. But many men choose C, because it allows them to indulge in their lust the most. Now, in the good 'ole 1950s, most men either married or remained chaste. It was pretty easy, considering that it was considered wicked for a woman to show anything above the skirt. HOWEVER, our culture doesn't make Option A easy at all. Here's what I mean. You wanna turn the TV on to watch a live action adult show? Sure. Once every three episodes somebody's gonna "hook up." You wanna turn to the anime channel so that you can watch Pokemon/Digimon/Beyblades? Oops, you got the time wrong. Pokemon's not going to play for another 30 minutes. Until then, sit down and watch this episode of this Hentai (pornographic anime) show. Oh, so you wanna surf the web? Sure thing, but try not to click that link for the porn website or try not to look at the sexually-explicit WoW advertisement. And when you're a guy who wants to abstain from following your primal mating instincts, there sure is a heck of a lot of temptation everywhere.EVERYWHERE. And when you see sexually explicit stuff, it's gonna get 'ya all excited and you're gonna want to view sexually-explicit material or "mate" with somebody. And here's the bad part: whenever you give in, next time it's gonna be a little bit harder to resist. And even if you can get around all this temptation, all your friends have done it...several times. It's considered cool with your circle of friends. So, you give in to peer pressure...and you become hooked. Of course, you could choose Option B. But do you really wanna do that? Your wife's gonna want to have kids, and you don't want kids. You don't want to give up playing Call of Duty: MW3. You don't want to settle down. So clearly, our culture either discourages options A and B or it makes them harder to carry through. Many men resort to Option C. They watch porn or they "hook up" with a hundred different girls in his lifetime. So you're hooked, and ya wanna keep "mating" or watching porn. But what happens when that gets old? The brain, after all, has a tricky way of making fun things seem dull after you've done it repetiitively. So whatcha gonna do? You're gonna want to do something exciting, something new. Oh, I know! How about rape? Sounds exciting and new, right? Joking beside, our culture bombards all our men, young and old, (who are particularly suceptible to it) with sexually-explicit material. Inevitably, somebody's gonna take their pursuits for something sexual a bit too far. Frankly, with such a high percentage of our population addicted to porn, I'm surprised that number isn't higher! I have to give up the computer now, but i'll say some more in my next round.
