Rape is not just the narrow domain of sex without consent ; you also have to look at the nature of consent. If the consent is out of fear and greed, the act ought to be called as rape.

Please can you explain me about - not all men but always a men and we choose bear ab isme ladko ki galti he ki vo rap karte he ya ladkion ki kyoki vo bahut jada body identify he please ans me i am confuse

[@noway7533]

​​​@@beastboyshubham6568see let me explain to you in a way that will make sense
Agar 1 insaan rape karta hai toh woh 💯% usski galti hai aur baaki saare ladko ki nahi but wahape woh ek rape ki wajah se jo dar hota hai woh bohot zyada impact karta hai
Eg. If there is an accident of your neighbor and he passed away kyuki ussnai helmet nahi pehena tha abb aap yee sunke immediately socho gaye ki aapko helmet roz pehena chaheye iss cheez ko hum bolte hai risk aversion jaha precaution sabse bada factor hai
Jaise ki aap plane mai ho toh waha every type of emergency ke instructions hote hai Isliye nahi ki plane crash hone he wala hai but it's a precaution.
Like wise when we women say that we choose bear not because unnko lagta hai ki saare men ek jaise hai but it's risk aversion
And yee sirf women mai nahi hota men bhi yee karte hai jab woh bolte hai ki unnko saari ladkiyan gold digger he lagti hai yaa any other example like that
And rahi baat bear ki toh don't take it personally and understand that if you had a 2 year old daughter and you had an option to leave it with a strange man or with a wild bear chances are that you will choose bear too.
Because you don't know what kind of man he might be he can be anyone
But you know that the worst thing a bear can do is kill her and nothing more which is not guaranted in case of that strange man he can do much more brutal things.
Again this is also risk aversion.

​@@beastboyshubham6568and also just one advice social media pe saari baate is an illusion.
Waha ki koi bhi negative baat ko seriously maat lo.
Unless it's a serious issue in real world.
Because people fight that's what keeps them in touch with their emotions in today's doom scrolling world.
Learn to ignore it.

She is decoupling female consciousness with the social concept of female honor. She's saying, "My consciousness need not be dependent on the definition of honorability that you provide."

[@joyetahazra2864]

Not that there are rapes and, no rapes. There are socially prohibited rapes and socially sanctioned rapes. 💯

[@joyetahazra2864]

Biology and society get together to condition the woman in a way that she becomes almost entirely just her body.

[@joyetahazra2864]

I'm neither just this body, nor am I product of this society.

Acharyaji has spoken my mind...I had the same thoughts regarding sex, rape, loss of honour by rape etc since my childhood.
Sex for liberation, sex for reproduction and sex for recreation....what an insightful classification he has offered.
In traditional hinduism some followers suggests sex should only be used as tool to reproduce, some uses it as a tool for tantra sadhana. But use of sex for recreation and to dominate another human being is something below the level of all creatures...but sadly it is rampant in human society.
