Question
I am writting an essay on rape for my human sexuality class and i have a couple of questions if you have time to answer: Why does the US have such a high incidence of rape?? also why do you think rape occurs??
Answer
I think the US has such a high incidence of rape, and relationship violence, because we do not discuss sexuality openly and make it tough for people to get information or help that they need. Rape is not about sex, it is about violence, possession, and conquering.
Good luck with your paper.
