ORIGINAL: ChatteParfaitt This conversation has gone in some interesting directions. First, that the males were imprisoned is only important to the scenario b/c it means they were penned and therefore would have limited means to flee from their attacker. *I* don't believe the OP meant to infer that females would find them unacceptable due to their prison time itself, but what happened to them in prison, (i.e., rape). Second, if you are not attracted to a certain group b/c of looks, then actually it is prejudice. I, for instance, am not attracted to Middle Eastern males. For some reason they just squeak me out. I have no idea why, but I am aware this means that despite my intentions of being open minded and non-prejudicial towards all, my reptile brain (I love that term) says: No! That's what prejudice IS. "an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason." Since I cannot possibly know all Middle Eastern Males (anymore than Peon can know all Inuit females), my not being attracted is prejudice, in MY opinion. We all have such a knee jerk reaction to thinking "all prejudice is wrong and must be eradicated" that we often don't see it. BTW, please do not misunderstand me, I am not saying prejudice is correct, I am saying it can't be entirely eradicated, b/c our reptile brain wants or in this case doesn't want what it doesn't want. Sexually I do not like skinny men. I prefer a larger man with good musculature and some real meat on his bones. I am in fact prejudiced against thin men. I understand it is not PC to say so, but in my mind, that's the truth. Now, how much of our reptile brain comes from nature or nurture is perhaps fodder for another interesting thread. Nice to hear some honesty here. What some people here are not getting, is the concept of preferences. Preferences are just that, whether some people like to rant and rave about preferences being prejudiced. If I do not want to chat with a man who is bisexual, whether or not I would find him physically attractive has nothing to do with bigotry, it has to do with my choice not to enter into something that I have no preference for. As for the OP's question, I would not have any negative issue with anyone, male or female having been nonconsenually raped, but like others have said, if they were in jail for raping a child, then I would not give a damn. If they were in jail overnight for smoking some weed and they were raped, then I would.
