Rapists commit rape for various reasons, and a particular rapist may commit the crime for different reasons at different time. So, no theory can explain all sexual violence. However, some cultural factors appears to kind of contribute to rape.
Some of the common myths which contribute to date and marital rape:
*If a woman engages in kissing or petting, she is obligated to engage in sexual intercourse;
*A man prove his masculinity through having sex;
*Women speaks ironically if asked for sex. So a man shouldnt mind their disapproval;
All these are dangerous myths that can/may lead to sexual violence.
Gender roles of tradition prescribing women submission and men dominance are also connected to sexual abuse. In Australia, Germany, and Japan, rates of violent sexual crimes were connected to national levels of dominant masculinity. Research in various nations have suggested that strong gender roles and promotion of an ideology of male toughness are related to violence against women.
Some people beliefs justifying sexual violence more strongly than others. People who commit the crime tend to believe more strongly in myths about rape, and they are more likely to engage in fantasies about coercive sex.
