Rape and morality in popular media

[Buffalobiian]

I do sort of agree with your view that assertiveness plays a factor, and also do think women are less assertive than men in general just from my experience, but that's also because they are playing into the gender expectations for them which are so ingrained into society and people's minds. That's actually one of the things legit feminists fight against, the antiquated perceptions of femininity, such as being modest and quiet.

I wonder about that. (edit: that may be true.. but in the same way that one believes "I'll be happier if I'm nicer to people".)

I'll include here the (hilariously frustrating) interview between Jordan Peterson and Cathy Newman here addressing this (wage gap discussion happens around 5mins in):



-----------------------


The following 3hr video is tangential to the above discussion (in that it's related to morality and social structures), but it's one of the rarer interviews where an interviewer is interested in Peterson's views and not in simply challenging them. (Dr Oz, surprisingly enough). It's also the best one.
