- W289658129 abstract "Abstract This paper traces the causes of the sexual abuse of females, particularly father-perpetrated rape, in rigid patriarchal communities in Montana, Mexico, and Utah. Based on 15 years of research among fundamentalists in the Intermountain West (Bennion 1997, 2004), the predicting variables were found to consist of 1) a male supremacist ideology that is sanctioned by both scriptural and economic prerogatives, 2) female circumscription, which is the geographic and social isolation of women and children from the mainstream, and 3) economic deprivation, leading to an increase in male underemployment and general dissatisfaction with their masculine role. It is my premise that the combination of these factors within contemporary millenarian fundamentalist movements contribute to the expression of child sexual molestation and domestic violence against women. The Nature and Cause of Sexual Abuse Human males are not unique in the animal kingdom in their ability to maintain sexual arousal and copulate with unwilling female victims. Certainly, there are other creatures which are capable of rape--such as the scorpionfly that has identified a clamp on the top of the male's abdomen as an adaptation specifically for rape (Wilson 2000). Yet humans are the only species that willingly choose to rape, torture, and then kill a female victim with impunity. The human male is capable of sexual penetration without the consent of the female, at any age of the female, from birth, as in the case of the raping of babies in South Africa (LoBaido 2001), or in the golden years, as occurred in England with the rape of an elderly woman (Gupta 2002)1. This threat of sexual violence affects the lives of females everywhere, of any race and culture, at any time, in the home and in the community, during war or peace. In short, females around the world are sexually molested, mutilated, and killed by the millions. According to Amnesty International, at least one out of every three women throughout the world has been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime (2005:1). The Council of Europe has stated that violence within the home by someone well known to the victim is the major cause of and disability for women aged 16 to 44 and accounts for more death and ill-health than cancer or traffic accidents (Amnesty International 2005:1). Rape is often associated with the availability of marginalized women, as in the case of young Chinese female workers, nannies, and household servants who are raped by their bosses (Shang 1992), Ugandan female refugees who were gang-raped by soldiers (Swiss 1993), or Sierra Leone female refugees who were abducted and molested by soldiers and civilians (Human Rights Watch 2000). Other war-time victims occur in places like Iraq, where the government uses rape and sexual assault to get information and forced confessions from detained family members. Some Iraqi authorities even carry personnel cards identifying their official duty as the violation of women's honor (U.S. Department of State 2002:1). In other situations, rape is used to promote brides-wealth, as in Pakistan where a village committee had deemed that five teenage girls should be kidnapped, raped, and killed for refusing to be betrothed to men chosen by the village elders (Wilkinson 2005). Or, rape is used to rid a man of AIDS, as in South Africa, where 21,538 rapes and attempted rapes of children under the age of 18 were reported (LoBaido 2001). It is believed that by raping a baby the men will become purified and cured of their illnesses. Nearly 15 million American women have been victims of sexual exploitation and one-third of all victims were abused before the age of nine (Carter-Lourensz et al 1995). Yet, in America, there is no war, bride payments, and the rapes of children have little to do with HIV. Ironically, when children are raped, it is typically by a loved one in or near their homes. …" @default.
