Hi Bwanika,

Some of the men and boys in very human population are likely to become 
sexual predators.  In group situations, some who would not be sexual 
predators on their own will become such in conformity with group 
norms.  Such small groups of males become particularly dangerous to women 
and girls when they are in positions of power.  Gang-rape becomes all to 
easy, easy to commit and easy to get away with.  One of the things that so 
often goes wrong is that men in positions of authority over such gangs of 
sexual predators are either too naive to recognize the ever-present 
potentiality for such behavior, or turn a blind eye because they secretly 
sympathize with the group norms that provide positive sanctions for gang-rape.

Best regards,

Dick M
