Technically five separate rape charges as well. Sod that!

Experts (and I assume this refers to criminologists and therapists) view it as a means for establishing control. THat in the mind of the rapist sex is inherently about the desire to dominate women, even punish them.
May explain why someone like Weinstein chooses to do all this stuff to women instead of paying for it, which he could easily do. Paying for it is a form of control but one where the woman is willing to accept it. Paying for it also implies that one has to and therefore creates a limit to one's power over women. Coercion reflects his position of power and his ability to control women.
Pure speculation of course. Maybe he is just a sick ******* who enjoys making women do things they dont want to.
Thanks for that bit of mansplaining, Peter. I am aware that rape is often about control more than anything else.
However, it is also always fuelled by a man's desire to have sex with a woman. Otherwise, if it's not about sex, why don't heterosexual men ever rape other men?
You honestly think that doesnt happen? Have you never seen a prison film?
The point is that the aspect of control is the link between rape and knee touching. If you were to believe that the knee touching is actually just a clumsy move on a woman you fancy then there is no link.
Dont accuse me of mainsplaining again. You are not even a woman
Errr..... have you seen some of the victims? They are not all budding models and are nothing compared to what he could have paid for.
I tend to think of it in the same way that blokes, particularly when young, will always look for some pathetic excuse for starting a fight by accusing the target of having spilt their pint/looked at their woman etc......the idea being to make the victim complicit and superficially absolve the aggressor by giving them some form of justification.
I think in Weinstein's mind if the woman submits to coercion then she must effectively 'want it'. THerefore he has pulled rather than paid and his pride is restored.
Careful, p. You've gone a bit
