Why Does A Man Rape?

The book really explains anything from mythology, history and how different species are and how they make treat females and how this patriarchal society wrote all rules that give more independence and freedom to men and a lot of restrictions to women.

I liked the way the author explained how our Indian mythology is framed with a patriarchal mindset. The author has spoken of Hinduism and Islam and how the rules are, the author has interviewed a lot of victims and offenders and say explain some stories and try to find a reason why does a man rape.

The offenders had some childhood traumas or their parenting was not so good. Most of the offender's mother was not treated well by her husband, beating and abusing make them feel women as just an object to fulfill their pleasure and do whatever they can.

The author has spoken on child abuse, incest rape, marital rape, and stories of some victims. He also said about why Prostitution should be legal in India and how it can help in reducing the abuse against women.

The rate of sexual abuse is increasing and there are more opportunities to find the victim as in most cases the offender selects a random person. Now online dating apps are also creating more problems as there are many fake ids and there are many users who share a lot of information which makes the people vulnerable and there are some stories about date rape where the victim went for a date and was raped and abused.

I really want to say it is always victim-blaming and there are many leaders who blamed the victim and said about proximity between men and women in society is less as the reason for rape. How they can say boys are boys and all. Really you can see the mindset of many people who supports the offender and blaming the victim for everything that happened when the victim needs support and care.

The book is written so well and dared to speak on many things. Kudos to the author. I do recommend this book to people around me.
