Synopsis

This book is not for weak, bleeding heart liberals. My aim is to tell what I learned from the mouths of 61 men who remembered close to 400 sexual assaults and forgot the rest. It all started one day when I saw this sign: "ALL MEN ARE POTENTIAL RAPISTS, BEWARE!" No, I cried at no one and everyone, and decided to examine the question. It was clear that the power brokers turned the study of rape into a political obsession instead of a criminal investigation. Rape, they said, was a devise used by aggressive men to enslave women. Some women were no longer willing to accept the lead of aggressive men. Maybe they're right, but not all men want to control women. Angry women, and some should be, think so! Now, as evidenced by that sign, some angry women stirred concerns inside me demanding inquiry. After the average god-fearing male reads the accounts of violence, manipulation, torture, sexual murder, necrophilla and cannibalism and thinks he's anything like the offenders in this study, then it might be safe to say that all women are potential whores, and that ain't right either.
