A made-up quote falsely attributed to Catherine MacKinnon. While this isn't a real quote, there is an argument akin to it.
According to some, our society has been built up by men in a way that all women feel worthless and the only way to have any value is to serve the mighty male by having sex with him. Since the oppressive way which men have created out society forces women to have sex in order to have any worth, all sex is rape.
I'm not sure if this argument is actually used in such a form by any radical feminists or just their critics. Also see the related node "all men are rapists".
Oh, and rape is sex, for whatever purpose. Sex is a biological function. :-) |
