@”Whisper” brought up a decent point that I have wanted to bring up for a while. I always find political and sociological discussions to have annoying limits intrinsic to them, for example, when discussing rape culture or patriarchy in general, I know of women who have been raped and shamed, I have experienced oppression, but I simply can’t share that information in these discussions.

If you do, it will be dismissed as anecdotal for one, but there is a double standard when the opposite confirms a bias. I don’t want to discuss with the immature types who can’t see the irony of never taking these issues seriously, leading to silence from the oppressed party as the best choice.

So what is the solution? Can speak freely and warn and ban those who seem to make a mockery of those things. People might take my mysticism or mystic sounding talk as lightening the subject because of my use of the word Rape which is a very serious word for me. The only mildly humorous element in it is being a strong man type and being put in the unusual seeming position of the victim and using the word in reference to nature or natural activities which people don’t generally connect with words like rape and murder, even though these are in my view fully understood by the purveyor or enactor of these concepts and inventor of them in every sense.

​​​​​It is pretty annoying to me as well when these words are not taken for their specific meanings and implications when used.

Rape to me, in its general usage, seems to contain at least two main concepts. To force something upon someone, to take something from someone. Additional concepts include strength and trickery. The concept of rape was extremely popular in the Ancient world and Classical world, and often associated with the divine as well.

In political and sociological dialogue it can also have a more encompassing meaning than an attack of a sexual nature where some form of unwanted invasion occurs.

Another area where I fall out of line with the trends is when I similarly attack what is commonly considered permissable just because it exists, if I were to suggest most sex includes coercion and is generally a form of rape similar to first drugging a person, as seen in how many events occur when the person returned to their senses then regrets it and wishes it weren’t so, but my version extends also into society convincing people they want it or wanted it or are wrong fornot wanting it and did want it if they went along or didn’t know or so many levels of blame that a person is left silent as well.

Which brings up the real underlying point of both subjects. The human interest in whose to blame and how and why.
