I think historically, invading/raiding soldiers were always ‘rapey’. One only needs to look at the Romans, the Vikings, the French in Spain, and more recently the Japanese, Germans, and Soviets in WWII.
Being on the losing side in a battle or war sucked, even if you were a civilian.
- watwut 6y agoArmies are rapey, more or less depending on kid od war. But they are rarely so rapey, that you routinely save last bullet for women cause they are guaranteed to be gang raped. Also, I think that part of argument is that you don't see Indian woman being at such severe risk of being gang raped from random white soldiers in Hollywood movies.
- ncmncm 6y agoArmies are rapey, but there are differences. The Soviet army during WWII, in particular, was very, very officially rapey: anyone who had coexisted with any enemy army were obvious collaborators, and were therefore by direct order from Stalin to get the worst treatment that could be afforded. For female people of any age at all, that meant gang rape followed by murder. Of course it was not only women who suffered and died: failing to demonstrate peak enthusiasm for the above was itself fatal. Soviet soldiers who had been captured and somehow survived (Germans routinely starved them) were considered, exactly, deserters (because why were they alive?), and were sent directly to the gulags. Bringing up the rear during an advance got you shot in the back by the NKVD -- although there is no documentary evidence of an actual quota.
