Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Feminist theory argues that rape is a tool used to oppress and control women, and is a product of a patriarchal society that seeks to maintain male dominance and control. This theory critiques traditional societal norms and gender roles and asserts that rape is not just an individual act of violence, but a systemic issue rooted in power imbalances between men and women.  The other choices do not focus specifically on the role of gender and power dynamics in understanding rape.
