Dies macht uns eine Frau klar, die am Beispiel der Vergewaltigung einen Artikel in englischer Sprache darüber geschrieben hat:
Sex and Power, From North Carolina to Congo
Last weekend in Hickory, North Carolina, a man was arrested and charged with raping a woman. According to Charlotte's Channel 9 News, the forty-one-year-old man was charged with first-degree kidnapping, first-degree rape and assault with a deadly weapon. Why assault with a deadly weapon? Because after he raped the woman, he used a box cutter to carve the word "Mine" into her stomach.
Rape is not about sex. Rape is about power. Rape isn't about a man getting carried away with passion and desire. As this case makes gruesomely clear, rape isn't about sexual attraction at all, but about controlling the victim and removing their autonomy and humanity.
In the summer of 2008, the United Nations, recognizing the connection between rape and power, officially declared rape to be a weapon of war. Given that raping and pillaging has been a common and successful battle strategy for centuries, the declaration was long overdue. In the summer of 2009, a sudden spike in the number of reported male rape victims seeking medical attention at hospitals in Eastern Congo served as a chilling example of just how that weapon is deployed.
