 Many feminists have emphasized the role of rape in controlling women’s behavior through fear. Dworkin contends that, due to the threat of rape, “all women live in constant jeopardy, in a virtual state of siege” (1976, 37); and several feminists have drawn analogies between rape and lynching as forms of terrorizing, group-based social control (Burgess-Jackson 2000, 286-88). Card argues that rape is a terrorist institution, one which—despite its admitted differences from acts more normally labeled terrorism, such as bombing and hijacking—advances its political purpose, the continued subordination of women, by terrorizing a target population (1991). Like all terrorism, she contends, rape has two targets: the direct victims, who are seen as expendable, and the broader population to whom a message is sent, and who can then be manipulated by fear into complying with demands they would otherwise reject. In response to the threat of rape, women scrutinize and restrict their own choices—what they wear, where they go and with whom, whether they drink, what “messages” they may be inadvertently sending men, and so on—to ensure that they are following the unwritten rules that govern female behavior and that (supposedly) distinguish the bad girls who get raped from the good girls who do not. Even women who, because of their conformity to these rules, do not feel afraid of being raped have nonetheless, Card points out, been terrorized into compliance.
