All Men Are Rapists: Difference between revisions

* In [[Mercedes Lackey]]'s ''The Lark And The Wren'', the protagonist fights off an attempted sexual assault early on (and starts disguising herself as a boy afterwards). Not only is it clear that there would be no consequences for that, the book also suggests that all men everywhere constantly pinch and grope any woman who crosses their path. Except the good guys, naturally.

** Later entries in the series include mobs of yokels who give their justification as "You're the friend of the daughter of a woman who we suspect was a slut twenty years ago, so you're obviously a slut and we should rape you!" This is treated by the heroes as typical backwater village behavior.

** Piers Anthony's classic [[Xanth]] stories has a man meeting his future wife at a rape trial. She's standing with the victim, backing up that the woman is "truthful", he's be paid to pretend he knows the rapist and is saying the rapist is a great guy. Since each person has two character vouchers, obviously the girl is lying to cover up the fact she's a whore. The two main characters never revisit this.

* In ''[[Ciem Webcomic Series|Ciem Vigilante Centipede]]'', almost every man in the series [[All Men Are Perverts|has it in for the Flippo girls]]. But Candi faces a disproportionate amount of rape threats / attempts. Ex-classmate-turned-hechman-for-the-villain? Double check. Random vampire? Check. [[Politically-Incorrect Villain|La Raza extremist terrorizing an Apache tribe]]? Check. An empty threat from Victor Nanale? Check. Even Jack's socially engineering Candi into feeling obligated to sleep with him could be interpreted as rape in a sense, since he piles the harassment on heavy right at a moment when she's too emotionally distraught to think clearly. Imaki suspects what Jack is up to, but does absolutely nothing to intervene. (Accessory?) Miriam is date-raped at a party, over half of Marina's partners constitute statutory rape, and a random burglar that breaks into Miriam's motel room in the sequel attempts to rape her for no discernible reason. Almost anyone who's not a rapist is a murderer.

* In ''The Flame and the Flower'' by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss, pretty much everything male has a go, including the hero's charming and intelligent brother who otherwise seemed like a perfect gentleman. His rape desire is not held against him in any way. Oh, and also, [[Their First Time]] involves the heroine weeping and paralysed with terror while the hero "has his way with" what he thought was a prostitute.
