Feelings about the quote (Feb 15)

The readings were very hard for me to read. Some things that have occurred in the readings were not even long ago. I think that is what makes it harder to read about. No one should have to go through what children or adults in those readings have went through. The quote "rape is nothing more or less than a conscious process of intimidation by which all men keep all women in the a state of fear" was a quote I read over and over again before reading on into the reading. The quote to me means rape is when a man takes control over a woman because he scares her so much to the point where she does not know what to think. The conscious process of imitation to me means what pain he has been inflicted with or what he is feeling is brought out in the same way. It is a cycle of violence that keeps on going unless the cycle is broken.
