Question 2

Explain how gender role stereotyping may encourage the act of rape.

Accepted Answer

Answer will include that rape myths and other gender stereotyped beliefs about male and female sexuality can lead to a "rape-supportive culture." Traditional masculine stereotypes include the ideas that a man should take the initiative and persist in attempts at sexual intimacy,even when the woman says "no." It has been pointed out that the most used cries of rapists to their victims are "You know you want it," and afterward,"There now,you really enjoyed it,didn't you." Other rape myths include: (1)a woman who appears alone in public and dresses attractively is "asking for it"; (2)if a woman goes home with a man on a first date,she is interested in sex; and (3)if a woman is sexually active,she is probably lying if she says she was raped.Men who believe rape myths are more likely to misread a woman's resistance to unwanted sexual advances.In addition,men who are high in gender role stereotyping have been shown in research studies to have the same arousal patterns as actual rapists.
