This was an excellent piece. Great job! The first problem with the dog analogy is that in general, dogs are not trained to bite. However, boys and men ARE socialized to be aggressive, dominant, and to acquire and control women.

“[Ours] is a culture in which sexualized violence, sexual violence, and violence-by-sex are so common that they should be considered normal. Not normal in the sense of healthy or preferred, but an expression of the sexual norms of the culture, not violations of those norms. Rape is illegal, but the sexual ethic that underlies rape is woven into the fabric of the culture.” — Robert Jensen

The second has been touched on by several other people already, including you. Rapists don't wear black hats and have large mustaches that they twirl menacingly. They are regular guys - not "bad apples," not aliens from another planet, not evil monsters plotting destruction. They are often charming, likable, regular seeming men who don't even necessarily realize they are doing anything wrong. They are often just acting out what patriarchal society has told them to do because they are entitled to it. This social messaging is what needs to change.
