TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Rape and the straw man: a response to Lindsay Kelland JO - Journal of interpersonal violence A1 - Benatar, David SP - 3419 EP - 3423 VL - 30 IS - 19 N2 - Lindsay Kelland has taken issue with a claim I made in a book titled The Second Sexism: Discrimination Against Men and Boys. In response to this claim, she has argued that when a woman is raped, it matters that her rapist is a male because "her situation as a woman under patriarchy is partly constitutive of the harm that she suffers" in being raped. In my response to her article, I show that she has taken my claim out of context and thereby misrepresented it. As a result, her article fails to respond to anything I said.
