"Men who are in prison for rape think it's the dumbest thing that ever happened... they were put in jail for something very little different from what most men do most of the time and call it sex. The only difference is they got caught. It may also be true"

- Catharine MacKinnon

About this Quote

This quote by Catharine MacKinnon talks to the concept that males who remain in prison for rape frequently feel that they were unjustly punished for something that is not much different from what many men do in their daily lives. MacKinnon is suggesting that the only distinction between these guys and other males is that they got captured. This implies that there is a double basic when it pertains to the method males are treated for their sexual habits. MacKinnon is likewise recommending that this double standard may hold true, which indicates that there is a systemic issue in the manner in which men are evaluated for their sexual habits. This quote talks to the idea that men are frequently held to a greater standard than females when it pertains to sexual habits, and that this double requirement can lead to unfair punishments for guys who are implicated of rape.
