Oh come on. None of this is about the male libido. When I meet a guy with a higher sex drive than my own, then maybe this concept will make sense. Oh wait, no it won’t.

It isn’t libido that drives the incentive for sexual assault. Having a high sex drive isn’t a predictor of perpetrating sexual assault. Having sexist ideas about women and female sexuality is. Believing that you are entitled to a woman’s body for any number of reasons is.

This idea that sex is something men get out of women, that women just don’t want as much, actually perpetuates this kind of harm. This idea that libido is fundamentally “male” in nature, as if women have no sexual drive, contributes. All of this frames the sexual relationships between men and women as one where men are predators and women are prey. This construct is the very crux of rape culture, and you are contributing.

Stop.

None of this is about libido. It’s about power dynamics and prevailing sexism — the type of sexism you espouse here.
