The “Rape of the Sabines” in an episode of Roman legend, supposedly occurring shortly after the suckling of Rome’s founders Romulus and Remus by a wolf. Only a foolish person would take all this as factual, let alone a template illustrating over-all concepts like “wolves love to suckle and raise human babies” and “women love men who capture and rape them.”

You might want to check out Judges 21 about Jabesh-Gilead. There wasn't any mention of the women complaining...

Or look at the behaviour of many women in occupied France in World War 2.

Women tend to bond with their captors: and the Muslim immigration is an invasion on the installment plan. The men are exotic and come across as more masculine than the sitzpinklers and pajama boys currently in Europe.

don't mistake survival instinct (make yourself fit in) for "bonding".

I'm sorry, but on the very dubious hypothesis of "women loving rapists," you seem to be going for the PhD -- piled higher and deeper.

"You might want to check out Judges 21 about Jabesh-Gilead. There wasn't any mention of the women complaining..."

You might want to check out the whole book of Judges, in which multiple crimes were committed including abductions, rapes, and many a murder. It's almost a counter-Torah, inasmuch as it warns the reader (twice) that in those days, Israel had no king and "each man did what was right in his own eyes" -- i.e., it is a lesson on just how screwed up people can be.

You don't hear of ANYONE complaining. Maybe because the people on the receiving end really liked rape and murder? Or could it be that typically aggressors are uninterested in hearing or recording such complaint. Ya think?!

ON the French women who had sexual relations with the German occupiers in WWII: some were "lovers," some were prostitutes, some were outright raped. I assure you their subsequent attitudes varied accordingly.

Interesting.

Two books I’ve read recently would put that notion of yours to rest in a big way, and clearly you would not be damaged by the perspective.

Year Zero: A history of 1945
When Paris Went Dark: The City of Light Under German Occupation, 1940-1944
