 One study of undetected, self-reported acquaintance rapists found that these individuals’ propensity to rape was significantly related not only to their acceptance of rape myths and of traditional ideas about male and female sexuality, but also to their belief that male sexual aggression is normal (Hinck and Thomas 1999, 816). Such beliefs have repeatedly been shown to play a role not only in men’s self-reported likelihood of committing rape, but also in people’s tendency to define rape more restrictively, and to attribute responsibility and blame to rape victims (1999, 816). (The influence of rape myths on people’s definitions of rape explains why most men who report engaging in “sexually assaultive, abusive, or coercive behavior in order to procure sexual intercourse” (1999, 816) do not define their own behavior as rape.) Feminists have coined the term ‘rape culture’ to describe the pervasiveness and acceptability of rape-supportive messages in media and popular discourse. Some have further contended that many rapes, being at least partially motivated by group-based animus as expressed in rape-supportive beliefs, should be categorized as hate crimes (Wellman 2006).
