What causes rape?

The way people think is the cause of rape.

Almost every single day we find cases in the newspapers of women being viciously raped. A police statistic stated that the amount of rape cases in a day has increased since the year 1993 and 1998. In 1993, the rape cases in a day were only 2.4 whereas in 1998, the number of rape cases flew up to 4.1 cases in a day. It is also said that most rape cases are not reported to the police. People who study rape in detail have come to name it the "rape culture" because there are too many rape cases going on out there. Rape happens because many people think of women lowly. Women are thought as the weaker sex compared to the men. Ever since children were young, parents dressed the girls up in pink and the boys in blue. It has come to a point where females are supposed to act gentle whereas the males are supposed to act macho. As a result, guys usually act roughly, talk loudly and are aggressive. They think that they need to be in control so that they will be considered macho. Therefore sometimes rape happens because these men are so used to getting what they want by using the force of violence.
