This is a topic that I have been very interested in lately. The pack mentality of men in sports groups, fraternities and business is what I believe contributes largely to the sexual abuse that society experiences. I especially relate because I have seen and heard people in these groups talk about women in this way. It is really like a game to them and that group mentality makes them think that they are supposed to be like that.
This article comes after two star rugby players were cleared from rape. An Olympic players girlfriend commented because she had previously been around rugby players and felt that they had “gargantuan egos” and “prey on women like meat.” All of this is really coming into the open more and this “masculine” culture that is considered so normal, is now being exposed for its strong sexual aggressive motives. Do you see this type of mentality as normal for men or more uncommon now?
