- Based on personal experience and observation -- namely, growing up
- around and being socialized with other males -- I've seen that most
- men visualize a scenario of simply "getting sex" at the expense of
- whoever is on the receiving end -- a purely selfish goal. (And doesn't
- this also describe the "date rape" scenario as well?) The image of
- the woman here is of neither consenting nor objecting, but of just
- being a receptacle for sex.
