Rapist doesn't know he's a Rapist

This is extremely relevant to the readings of which I read at which men do not know they are even actively acting out violence against women because society has made it seem like it is something that is acceptable and expected. I myself have been coerced into certain situations that I did not want to be in simply because I was the girl friend and I should be fulfilling my role. Men seem to have this mentality that "NO" means try harder, or that it means convince me. They also seem to think that simply because you had already have sex with them before that there is no possible way that they could ever rape you. And as this poster says it's hard to even blame them at times because the problem goes beyond just them. The problem is systemic which is due to the patriarchal society that we live in. It is sad but true.
