Radio host: Men forced to rape when women ‘whip up’ a ‘huge amount of energy in the male body’

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/11/radio-host-men-forced-to-rape-when-women-whip-up-a-huge-amount-of-energy-in-the-male-body/

A British radio host has apologized for suggesting that women were at fault for rape because they “whipped” up a “huge amount of energy in the male body.”

During his Monday radio broadcast for the BBC, host Nick Conrad defended Welsh athlete Ched Evans, who recently was released from jail after serving over two years for the rape of a 19-year-old woman. He has since returned to training with his English football club, Sheffield United.

“I think women need to be more aware of a man’s sexual desire that when you’re in that position that you are about to engage in sexual activity there’s a huge amount of energy in the male body, there’s a huge amount of will and intent, and it’s very difficult for many men to say no when they are whipped up into a bit of a storm,” Conrad said during the Monday broadcast.

“It’s the old adage about if you yank a dog’s tail then don’t be surprised when it bites you,” he added.


On top of everything else he compared women to dogs!

white men's rights are the new focus of the GOP in the United states and their followers around the world. They do all speak with the same tongue. I know, I'm in Canada and the GOP created a whole think tank here called "the Calgary School" that produced our current prime minister. In this case it is the right wing spreading its new propaganda. That men are victims. It is a virus of the mind. To wedge men to the right. Right now they, the world over, are trying to create a grievance in men that can then be used to control them. What man has not felt sexually frustrated in his lifetime. Especially as a teen. Bingo! I am surprised at how far their tentacles have gone. But this is a trend in language and grievances. Poor men. Poor, poor men. Only the right wing understands.

But I do not get your comment.

If he is saying men are forced to rape because women whipped up energy in a man's body and then says it's the oldage about if you yank a dog's tale, he is comparing men to dogs, not women.

Totally idiotic, but his version would be "If you whip up energy in a man's body, don't be surprised when it rapes you."

i dunno, there's a whole lot of men who are quite able to handle not raping women even when "whipped up", so to speak. in fact, it's common enough for men to show restraint under such circumstances that we have a special word for those who can't: criminals.

yanking his "tail"--which could be read as his d***, but a more precise interpretation would be that it refers to his sexual response.

The point of the novel appears to be that black athletes and stallions rape because they “whipped” up a “huge amount of energy in the male body.”

It shames me that my penis is so defective it can't build up enough energy to force itself on somebody. I cry myself to sleep nightly for being cursed with such a penis. Lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Either that, or I think he's a blithering idiot.

Which ever seems less creepy.
