 %DOMINANT RULES MORAL CONTROL DESIRES SEX INTIMACY 930418

     A   dominant  emphasis  upon   rules,    regulations,
controls, morals,  legalisms, judgments, condemnations and
their like often  result  in  the absence of any attention
given to respecting  the  desires  of people  involved  in
intimate relationships---making desires almost irrelevant.
Such  a legalistic emphasis opens the doors to considering
many subtle forms of rape as being acceptable,  because if
people's desires are irrelevant, then it is hard to define
rape  in any meaningful  way.   If  dominant   males  have
unquestionable rights  and women's desires are irrelevant,
then  rape of women by men is logically impossible.  It is
thus dangerous to relegate human desires to a status below
that of  rules, regulations,  controls, morals, legalisms,
judgements, and condemnations.
