Paglia denies ''date rape'' is “real rape”. She says, “the sexual impulse is egotistical and dominating, and therefore I have no problem understanding rape.” She says that part of the thrill of sex for women is “risking rape.”<ref name="bj1999"></ref> | Paglia denies ''date rape'' is “real rape”.

Even though there is evidence that the harm of rape has been overstated (at least with the broad meaning it has been redefined to have), it of course does not mean that rape is good, and, secondly, even though some women have a rape kink, it does not mean that women as a whole are inferior humans or second class people.
