It means feminists are deluded. They truly believe that eros has no influence at all over human behavior, and that relations between man and woman are solely governed by power dynamics.

Someone normally constrained by laws and social conventions gets to exercise their power over a defenseless target. This allows them to feel as though they have temporarily ascended to a higher social position where they are no longer bound by conventional rules.
Now you might say that the psychological pleasure they would derive from such an act would be heightened if the target normally occupied a higher social position than they did, but this wouldn't be a requirement for the heightened sense of power that such an individual would experience.
Furthermore, it could be said that status, as it is actually experienced, doesn't necessarily correspond to formally established social rank or influence.
A wealthy slave owner could have complete legal ownership of his slaves and still feel spurned or ill-regarded by them.
In fact, it seems unlikely that a slave could consistently treat their owner in exactly the manner the owner desired.

Ever notice that when an anon says something that sounds weak, pathetic, or spineless, that other anons will insult them by saying they're "raped?" As in

That's what it means
>>
The fact that an act is sexual does not mean the gratification involved is purely sexual. Even in ordinary consensual sex, people may derive satisfaction from feelings of desirability, status, intimacy, validation, dominance, submission, or emotional connection. Consent does not eliminate these motives; it merely establishes that the interaction is mutually agreed upon. The same principle applies to sexual assault. The fact that the act is sexual does not mean the gratification involved is exclusively sexual.
>>
BDSM is often more about the power dynamics involved than the sex, let alone rape.
>>
In fact, if we removed the psychological aspect from sex entirely, what remained would be mere physical stimulation. It is questionable how much pleasure would even remain in such an act. This suggests that the distinction between sex and power may not be as clear-cut as it is often presented.
>>
If we imagine the stereotypical rapist as sexually frustrated and low-status, the release of tension involved is far more psychologically loaded than something like a male buffalo overcoming female resistance in order to prove himself. In the human case, the act may function not merely as mating behavior, but as a temporary reversal of social impotence: a moment in which frustration, resentment, sexual desire, and the desire for power collapse into a single act.
>>
As Nietzsche puts it:

"-priests are the most evil of enemies—but why? Because they are the most powerless. From their powerlessness, their hate grows into something immense and terrifying, to the most spiritual and most poisonous manifestations"

Rape is an extension of catcalling and other forms of sexual harassment, which are motivated almost entirely by a desire for power / possession. Lust, aside from cases of mental impairment (ex: a retard fondles a chick on the train because he suddenly feels horny), is no stronger in sexual harassers / assaulters than it is in men who do not attack women.
When a man whistles at a chick on the street, or makes a lewd comment about her bra, or texts her a picture of his Little Anon, it's not because he thinks doing so will endear him to her--he would have tried a "legal" means of courtship first if that was the case--nor is it even really about her in particular (how many women still get harassed despite showing 0 skin and being definitively unattractive?). Rather, these acts are taken because they reaffirm, to the man performing them: "I could have you. The only thing stopping me is myself." It is pure egotism, pure mental reinforcement. In terms of motivation it is no different from the schoolyard bully pushing the littler kids around to make himself feel big; the sexual framing is just framing.

There are variations of rape that complicate this theory - I don't think uncles who diddle their nieces and nephews are motivated by power so much as pedophilia; date / marital rape can be about a need to keep your partner (e.g. girlfriend stopped putting out and you're afraid the relationship is ending), but it can just as easily be the result of pent-up sexual feelings. But generally, when a man decides to a rape a woman, or vice verse or any combination, it is because of something much deeper than an immediate, reactionary emotion like lust; if you are so overwhelmed by lust that you *have* to sexually assault a chick, you're not gonna wait until she's gone into a dark alley before pouncing on her, or look around the train to make sure no one's looking before you grab her ass, you're gonna act then and there.

yeah see the thing is, in family, the chain of command is God the Father -> Jesus Christ -> husband -> wife -> children. to desire sex without desiring power/possession is to desire fornication which is sinful
> i take this woman to be my wife, to have [i.e. power] and to hold [i.e. possession], for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, til death do us part [i.e. inescapable bondage]
> i take this man to be my husband, to honor and obey, ... ... ...
so basically, the feminist movement claims that the only sex crime is marriage. it is for this reason that God hates america
>>
>>25345106
While, I agree with you that instances of rape often have motivations beyond satisfying sexual needs they likely just as frequently do not. Just because an individual indulges a base desire (hunger, thirst, sleep, lust, etc) it doesn't necessarily preclude any other simultaneous considerations. A man might stop at a fast food restaurant to eat rather than wait until he gets home and cooks (indulging hunger immediately) but you wouldn't argue a deeper psychological reason exists because he looked before he crossed the road and paid before he started eating. Indeed, it would be absurd to suggest that someone isn't really hungry unless they start eating without regard to any short term consequence. I would argue that most rapes occur along similar lines: a man sees a woman (or another man) in a compromised position (asleep, intoxicated, otherwise helpless or in a position of weakness) and decides to indulge his lust. That someone takes precautions (your dark alley or wearing a condom) isn't necessarily an indication of a deeper motive merely a reminder that people can have multiple motivations.
>>
>>25344593
the argument is not that the 'crime happens because of power relations" but that the impulse, the satisfaction comes from the momentary power relation.

unless its like, say matt lauer locking his office door behind you or some lawyer at cravath assaulting you because youre scared for your job.

>a man sees a woman (or another man) in a compromised position (asleep, intoxicated, otherwise helpless or in a position of weakness) and decides to indulge his lust
so, we have to distinguish rape rape from regret rape and statutory rape. rape rape is a crime committed by criminals, while regret rape is the woman puts herself in a position to have sex and then regrets it, and statutory rape is that sex act was a crime regardless of the consent of the other party - maybe the other party was a child, maybe a subordinate. the thing is, most men have a hard time keeping a boner if the woman doesnt want it, or, if find out theres a child who can hear them having sex with a woman. but women love creating ambiguous situations where they can later say they were raped to avoid taking responsibility for their decision to have sex, and later use that ambiguity as a way of exercising power over a man. and in todays world, without a signed consent form listing all sex acts to be performed and a sex tape, any sex that isnt a one time netflix and chill is automatically rape unless the woman says otherwise. so now you think rape consists of a woman is in a compromising situation and gets taken advantage of. and now you have to discuss what counts as compromising and taking advantage, which is the grey area sluts love

It's a bullshit feminist myth. If rape was about power, men would rape each other all the time, yet this doesn't happen outside of prisons and the like.
Also, rape victims are overwhelmingly women in their teens and twenties. If the feminist meme about rape was true, men would love raping annoying hags and middle-aged Karens, but they hardly ever do.

>What does this mean? I am pretty sure gay people don't rape a lot of women despite being favoured by the patriarchy so I must be missing something.

There's a certain type of feminist theorist who argues that since rape in the aggregate usually serves as a form of reinforcing male power structures, and since cases of rape involving gang-violence, or of male-on-male rape, etc. frequently involve explicit references to reinforcing the rapist's masculinity/virility, while diminishing that of the other party, then this means that rape is *inherently* about power in all cases, and never about sex in and of itself.

This is an error on their part. Otherwise identical crimes frequently have radically different motives, and rape is no exception to that broader trend. Sometimes rapists simply want to fuck their victims, and don't care if the victim consents; sometimes they lie to themselves, and convince themself that the victim consented; sometimes (rarely) they genuinely, understandably believe that that was the case; and other times the sex-act is merely a means to the end of dehumanizing, and subjugating the victim. It can be either.

This effort to create what I like to call a 'unified field theory of rape' made sense in the 70s/80s, when victim blaming was much more prominent, and the use of rape as a weapon was usually ignored by wider society, in favour of the misapprehension that it was almost always just a man with a severe lack of self-control encountering a woman who tickled his fancy, but today it serves as an actively counter-productive over-correction, which prevents worthwhile discussions about consent-education, re-adjusting social norms to make it easier for people to clearly communicate when they are and aren't comfortable, and for addressing female-on-male, and female-on-female rape.

Rape is an act of selfish and, ultimately, self-pleasuring hedonism. It doesn't take into account the feelings of the victim - only those of the perpetrator. Rape is still about sex, but it's far more about having power over the victim, for without that power, a rapist can't take what they want (sex) for themselves. Sometimes rape happens via physical strength and sometimes it happens via emotional or financial leverage, but it's always about displaying strength.

I have a hard time believing sex isn't rape. "Dating" is literally a project of grooming and manipulating a woman so that you can own her as your "girlfriend"
>>
>>25346478
... and that's a good thing.
>>
>>25346201
Rape is the act itself. But the motivations behind rape are behind the "rape is about power" talk. Ultimately, the motivation behind rape is a self-serving desire to take what one feels they're "owed", and the only way to take it is through some sort of display of power - whether that's physical strength or emotional/financial leverage (e.g., "sleep with me or I'll fire you"). The whole point of rape is that it's an act of selfish hedonism where only the rapist's feelings and desires matter; the entitlement to someone else's body feeds those desires, and the power needed to fulfill that entitlement is what rape is truly about. Rapists WANT their victims to see how powerless said victims are as a deterrent against future resistance.
>>
>>25346478
>"Dating" is literally a project of grooming and manipulating a woman so that you can own her as your "girlfriend"
No, it is not. It's a way for people to find a connection with others and, if they're lucky, form a bond that helps both parties compliment the other's strengths and virtues. If you think you "own" the person you're dating because you want them to exclusively date you, that's the exact kind of mindset that breeds the entitlement what leads to rape.
>>
>>25346616
>If you think you "own" the person you're dating because you want them to exclusively date you
Nigga that's literally the entire point of dating and relationships. Otherwise why do people get so upset when their partner cheats on them?
>>
>>25346620
>why do people get so upset when their partner cheats on them?
That isn't about "owning" someone - it's about trusting the other person not to fuck around behind your back when you're together exclusively. If you're fine with your partner (what the fuck is the gender neutral term for boyfriend/girlfriend anyway?) fucking other people so long as they tell you they're fucking someone else, there's no trust issues there because the knowledge is there. You're supposed to communicate with your partner, not just dictate shit to them. The breaking of trust is why infidelity hurts.
>>
>>25346632
>That isn't about "owning" someone - it's about trusting the other person not to fuck around behind your back when you're together exclusively
I don't really see the difference
>>
>>25346637
The difference is that "owning" a person is more of an involuntary thing (e.g., slavery), whereas an exclusive romantic/sexual relationship is a voluntary decision between two (or possibly more) people.
>>
>>25346478
You have it backwards.
Dating is the process of grooming and manipulating a man so the woman can own everything he's worked for.
>>
>>25346643

>>25343842
It's just fake nonsense made up by women who have never raped anyone. If rape was about power then you'd see more powerful women being raped. In fact, rape is about wanting to have sex with sexy ladies (like what everyone assumed) hence rape victims typically being attractive (not powerful).
