Wolfe: End culture of rape in 2013
Gloria Steinem and I have written about how acult of masculinity is behind the constant violation of women around the world -- that some men brutalize women against their own self-interest because of an addiction to control or domination. To put it plainly: Rape is not about sex.
Opinion: Misogyny in India -- We are all guilty
"Rape is about violence," Steinem says, "proving 'masculine' superiority; often inserting guns and other objects into women's bodies; playing out hostility to other men by invading the bodies of 'their' females, including old women and babies; occupying wombs with sperm of a conquering group; owning female bodies as the means of reproduction; and raping men and boys to make them as inferior as females."

http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/01/04/16340668-womens-history-pioneer-gerda-lerner-dies-at-92?lite
The former professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison wrote
several books in the field of women's history, including her 1986 work
"The Creation of Patriarchy" and her 1994 volume "The Creation of
Feminist Consciousness." She also edited "Black Women in White
America," one of the first books to document the struggles and
contributions of black women in American history.
After obtaining her doctorate at New York's Columbia University in
1966, Lerner went on to found the women's studies program at Sarah
Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York, which in 1972 became the
first to offer a graduate degree in women's history.
