Roughly one third of male university students who took part in a study would rape a woman if there were no consequences, according to a new scientific study.
The research, published in the scientific journal Violence and Gender, presented mostly white male American participants a questionnaire on how they would act in certain sexual situations.

Amongst other questions they were asked how they would act in a situation where they could have sexual intercourse with a woman against her will “if nobody would ever know and there wouldn’t be any consequences”. 31.7% of all men participating in the study would force a woman to have sexual intercourse in such a “consequence-free situation” – which is rape. Worryingly, most men who indicated that they would commit rape did not even recognise their actions as such. When explicitly asked whether they would rape a woman if there were no consequences, only 13.6% of participants said they would do so, a marked fall on those who had described that they would commit rape. “Some men will endorse items asking whether they have used force to obtain intercourse, but will deny having raped a woman,” the study’s authors said.

The authors of the study said the findings of a gap between the proportion of men who would endorse the use of coercion but reject the ‘rape’ label for their actions could have implications for sexual and consent education programmes. Programmes targeting this ‘gap’ should focus on dispelling the idea of the “stereotypical rapist” in order to change the behaviour of this group, the authors suggested. From other questions in the survey the researchers discerned that those who would actively admit to ‘named’ rape tended to be openly hostile towards women and hold “callous” views. “High hostility toward woman and callous sexual attitudes separated the no intentions group from those who endorsed either intentions to rape or those who endorses only the behavioral description of rape,” they said. These men would be difficult to target with education programmes, they warned. The study was conducted by academics at the University of North Dakota and the North Dakota State University. Its sample size was 86 people.

This makes sense as to why in times of war, there are mass rapes against women. Is there a biological component to why some of these monsters are okay with this, or is it more societal conditioning of seeing women as objects instead of equals?

This is why mahram is required in Islam and women cant travel without one, too many naive females, only trust your blood or husband

That's why I don't leave the house without my pepper spray and taser. I will also be getting a handgun when I can legally. Men are animals

Most abuse is perpetrated by someone close to the victim. The husband is usually the first suspect/culprit.

Well, men are naturally more aggressive and are often encouraged to be so especially during wartime. The reason why rape is common in warfare has more to do with psychology and how the "enemy" is viewed, rape can be used as a psychological weapon to terrorise and humiliate an enemy group. Since women can be seen as an extension of the enemy, the aggressor also sees a violation of enemy women as doing further damage to the morale of the opposing force. War is f**ked and there's no point in trying to rationally evaluate it.

UFFF! This is why I try to avoid all unnecessary contact with males that I'm not related to

I just knew someone would put the burden on women...
How about men have a Mahram so they don't commit crimes?

 

[Sophisticate]

That's deeply troubling even though the sample size was small. Respondents might have underreported favouring a more socially desirable response despite the anonymity. Meaning it could be more individuals being in agreement.

It's hypothetical ,but I assume the numbers would be even higher.

Disgusting

It wouldn't stop them from committing crimes.

Of course they would and don't for one second believe this is about power or humiliation, it's just that a large group of men will seek their own pleasure even if it means abusing or even killing a woman.

This is why women need a Mahrem and why you can never trust a damn man that isn't your blood relative and even then, keep your head on a swivel, the further his blood is from yours.

And most molesters are related to their victim or in close proximity often.
I can already guess which males on this forum have already molested or would rape and then try to excuse it.

Ok? Problem?

You are 17 years old and you don't think there is a problem with these findings.

 

[BobSmoke]

I'm actually surprised by that number. 40-50% makes more sense to me. Only reason I'm saying this is because niggas be .

Men who feels powerless and less desired looking to exercise their "power" over anyone, are far more than you would think and they come in all types.
Ask a nigga if he ever feels powerless and how does he deal with that feelin. Its a deep question to ask but it will give you a somewhat rough estimate if that guy is a potential rapist or not.
It's not a sure method but it will give you a direction to go off of

 

[Bluefire]

Universities are some of the places with the highest rape rates.
But even so 30 per cent seems too high

In a consequence free world we could assume there is no God, or an observer in this case, as punishment is non-existent (assuming this extends to any hypothetical afterlife); thereby making morality subjective leading to no intrinsic motive to be "good". Additionally the lack of worldly consequence would dissipitate any extrinsic motive.

 

[World]

Only a third?

Why higher?!
