...I find things like this quite disturbing because I think that the quotes have been selectively taken to equate guys who read/enjoy lad's magazines with a rapist mentality and rape has nothing to do with sex at all..it is an act of violence..I believe that the 'research' was carried out by a feminist who specialises in the psychology of violence against females and I think it's an extremely manipulative publication..I imagine you could isolate quotes in many, many things and 'slant' them to look a certain way which would make for quite sensational reading...anyway, it would be nice to think that we've progressed a long way from the ignorance of...'woman provoke rape by how they dress/act/their body language..' etc...but I can't see this 'research' helping females to feel that they would want to report a crime of rape and feeling as though their own behaviour would be the thing 'on trial', which is wrong..and it's certainly not a good thing to liken 'an average guy' who like lad's mags to a rapist...
