Men who view women consenting to sex as being 'used' reveal so much about how they view sex as an act of exploitation to do to women & how no woman could ever benefit from having sex with them. And they don't want her to. The resistance & lack of pleasure is their pleasure.

Over 400,000 studies that the public is fine ignoring because they think the news and public health people would tell them if they're in any danger.
