By summarizing this science, this wiki is not excusing or encouraging ''actual'' harm caused by violent abuse, nor unethical practices such as kidnapping and sex trafficking, which should be regarded as separate matters altogether. | By summarizing this science, this wiki is not excusing or encouraging ''actual'' harm caused by violent abuse, nor unethical practices such as kidnapping and sex trafficking, which should be regarded as separate matters altogether. The science points to a trade-off between profoundly confusing and inhibiting men in their sexuality by equating their natural sexual preferences with violent crimes on the one side. On the other side of the trade-off is a minority of women who experience rape to the extent that it actually causes harm. A tiny minority of both sexes with an obsessive-compulsive and anxious predisposition will likely suffer substantially either way, which in case of women, may be further aggravated by a highly dramatized social response to the matter. It hence seem unlikey that further intensification of a rape hysteria is beneficial for society overall. | ||
