Male Sexual Nature and the Left's Culture of Denial
When multiculturalism meets reality.

There is virtually no pornography or sexual ads -- and women display no flesh in public, sometimes not even their face -- in most Muslim countries. Yet sexual assaults are far more common there, and Muslim immigrants commit a disproportionately high percentage of rapes in Western Europe.
And speaking of Western Europe, sexual ads -- bordering on nudity -- are commonplace; pornography is freely and widely available; and women wear whatever they want (or don't want) in public, often showing a great deal of skin. Yet, despite all this, rape and other forms of sexual violence were relatively low among Western Europeans prior to the recent influx of Muslim immigrants.
Clearly it is not some new Playboy culture, or the depiction of women as sexual objects on TV, in films and on billboards, that causes rape. Indeed, with their relatively low levels of rape, Western Europe, the United States and Israel are historical aberrations. Throughout history, unless prevented by the society or by a strong moral system, men raped women when they could. Just look at how men have treated women when social and moral norms break down during wartime.
...
So the left blames outside influences -- Playboy, the "rape culture" that allegedly permeates college campuses, patriarchy -- for rape, sexual assault and the depiction of women as sex objects. Or they argue that women's sexual nature is just like men's: Women want as many sexual partners as men do; women view men as sex objects just as men view women; and women are just as happy to have emotionless sex as men are.
And how do they explain rape? As an act of violence that has little or even nothing to do with sex. Just about every man reading this (other than graduate students in gender studies or some other liberal arts departments) knows how false that statement is. Rape is overwhelmingly a sexual act; it is sex obtained through violence. Describing rape as primarily about violence rather than sex is like saying robbery is primarily about violence rather than money.
One of the most important differences between the right and left is the left's denial of unpleasant truths and the right's acknowledgement of them. Male sexual nature is just one such example.
