[TRIGGER WARNING: Rape]

If white heterosexual men determine the ‘truth’ of rape, then the law of rape will reflect society as experienced by white heterosexual men.

Women’s sexual experiences will only be understood in terms of this masculine reality and law may, consequently, work against women’s interests.

Representations of rape thus often naturalize female passivity and legitimize male sexual aggression, treat only certain classes or types of people as rapeable and have a disciplinary effect on men and women’s social behaviors.

*I would say white heterosexual cis men.
