This is effective as political agitprop in >feminist writing; as a model of reality, it misrepresents the facts. Actually, the quote I was referring to actually read "rape ... ALL men dominate ALL women ...". And yes, I think that's exactly what it is meant to imply. Hold your flames, I don't personally believe this; I guess I'm just playing devil's advocate.
