Now I know women are by no means equal to men, but I'm starting to suspect it's even worse than I originally thought.
My opinion regarding women and rape up until now has largely been "If she isn't heavily bruised or dead, she did not sufficiently resist." And I know a lot of rape claims are outright fiction (i.e., Mattress girl.)
But then I read stories like this and I start to wonder if I've got it wrong, and I'm not being patriarchal enough.

>The seventh time, I was raped by my friend. We had been dancing at a party and he invited me back to his room. I made it explicitly clear that I didn’t want to have sex with him. I said it repeatedly, and he promised we could go back and just hang and make-out or whatever, and that there was no pressure to have sex. I said fine. When we were in his room things escalated and I found myself underneath him, pushing him off of me, saying “no,” as he penetrated me. I never reported the rape personally because I was so confused, and he was my friend, and I had the voice of society telling me all the ways in which I could have been “asking for it” or “deserved it” or “gave mixed signals,” and I was scared that it wasn't violent or aggressive enough to report.
Now it could just be that this particular woman was already a broken degenerate at this point. Maybe a properly raised woman would have, if not outright refused to allow herself to be put in that scenario, then at the very least would have bit and scream and fought to the bitter end.
But I keep hearing stories like this of women whose resistance utterly collapses the moment a guy touches them. If this many women won't so much as scream, then maybe they aren't mentally competent enough to be given the responsibility of guarding their own doors since clearly almost any man who's determined can open it uninvited.
And it's not just blatantly dangerous situations like this slut put herself in, nor is it limited to the last thirty years of moral and societal collapse. Wherever and whenever women enter the workforce, this kind of shit seems to happen. Everyone knows the cliche about the business man and his secretary. I'd say it had something to do with putting a woman in a subordinate position to a man, but I'm pretty sure it happens in the opposite case as well.
Of course not all women are like that, (And not all men lack self-control) but of the ones that WOULD fight back, how many AREN'T already proper, respectable women? How many weren't properly influenced by their father or husband?
While I do believe Western women are in many respects superior to women from the Low Commonweal "nations," even if some of them are fit to have a greater role in society, clearly not all are. But what's the ratio? And perhaps more importantly, can it be improved? I'm really torn here because my perceptions of nature vs nurture have greatly changed in the past few years (Blacks are not fixable, for instance.) If there's a large core of women that are utterly incapable of making sexual decisions for themselves, should all women require a license to leave the home unattended? How difficult should it be to obtain? Though I find the idea of treating women in a similar manner as Muslims distasteful, I do think they're closer to the mark at the moment than we are if only because of the sheer magnitude to which we've run away with the idea of female empowerment. Women are fully emancipated in the West and we have paid a dear price for it.
