Double Standard Rape (Divine on Mortal): Difference between revisions

* In ''[[EverQuest]]'', Innoruuk, the God of Hate, disguised himself as a regular dark elf male and impregnated a woman on the night of the Blood Moon festival that the dark elves celebrate every so often. Ceremony states that the female is supposed to ritually kill her mate as a sacrifice in Innoruuk's name if they have sex on that night. Of course, Innoruuk could spare a mortal body of some random dark elf, but the woman eventually gave birth to Lanys T'Vyl, Innoruuk's daughter and future Demi-Goddess of Strife.

 

* A very indirect example: when King Minos of Crete refused to sacrifice a white bull for Poseidon, Poseidon punishes him by making Minos' wife Pasiphae fall in love with the bull. She had a wooden cow made and climbed inside so [[But You Screw One Goat!|the bull would have sex with her]]. She then later gave birth to a [[Half-Human Hybrid|half human/half bull creature]] that became the Minotaur.

* According to the Tupi people of the Amazon area of present day Brazil, the sun was outraged when early human society was dominated by women. It caused sap from the curura (or puruman) tree to spray on the breast of a virgin named Ceucy, impregnating her with Jurapari (or Jurupari). He declared war on women and tore down the matriarchy. After his victory, Jurapari set up feasts in which the secrets of men?s rule were passed down through the generations. Any women attending were put to death, Ceucy being their first victim. In some versions of the legend, one day Jurupari will find a woman worthy of him and from that day forward, the sexes will be equal.

** In other South American regions, Jurupari is the name of a man-eating spirit of the palm tree. It?s unclear how the two myths relate.

* The best-known Aztec account of Huitzilopochtli's birth says his mother Coatlicue was impregnated with him when a ball of feathers fell into her lap.

* The story of Jesus' birth in ''[[The Bible]]'' is sometimes accused of being this. In the Book of Matthew (note that the books of the New Testament were originally separate texts, only later compiled into the whole we have today), we are told nothing whatsoever about how Mary felt about divine impregnation. The Book of Luke is better about this: we get a scene where an angel tells Mary she is going to conceive and bear a son, and Mary is happy about this. However, the angel doesn't actually ask what she wants; it just tells her what's going to happen.

* ''[[Something*Positive]]'' [http://somethingpositive.net/sp10212011.shtml alludes to this]:
