In the 1970's many feminists hated men. In 1975, Susan Brownmiller's book Against Our Will: Men, Women and Rape" argued that rape wad not aberrant behavior, but a strategy devised by men to maintain their control over women: that, in essence, all men were guilty of rape, all women victims of rape. Every rape, Brownmiller argued, was an act not of sexual desire but of violent aggression against women; and conversely, every act of violence against women by men was rape. All acts of violence/rape, that is,were political acts encouraged by the male (or patriarchal) system as a means of oppressing women,. The oppression of women, than, is and act of continuing rape, and ongoing crime of violence against women.
I own that book it is quite a read, of all the lesbian and feminist homes that I have been in, I have never seen a larger collection of feminist literature than my own.
