Is it lust or the thrill of exercising domination?
Is it because of their upbringing or their innate rage?
How do they rationalize their acts?
Does remorse and guilt plagues them ever?
Do they plan for it for days altogether or is it an impulsive thing?
And what about the selection of ‘objects’? Is it random or some specific preferences are considered?
How are the cries of helplessness and pain overpowered by sadistic pleasure?
If there’s one power that I’d like to have, it would be to read what goes on in the sick and demented mind of a rapist.

Interesting but I think looking into their minds and seeing how they tick would be a little frightening!
Frightening, for sure but may be it will help us to understand and tackle them better.
It will be interesting to know what goes on in the mind of a rapist.
Yes, insightful it would be!
What goes on in their mind? Filth and sickly thoughts.
… and he puts them into action without any remorse!
Often I’ve thought, how could they? Why? What were they thinking? But I shudder to even think of getting such a power!
My point exactly. What makes them do this ghastly act and a whole lot of hows and whys? Scary as it seems, but we must know his sickness so that we can prevent others from getting afflicted and victimized too!
I don’t think they possess a sound mind. One in his senses can’t give pain to anybody
my wow post Inhuman Mind
That’s beyond a doubt. They are mentally sick and filthy!
I would rather Hang the person or Shoot them dead , than spend time on knowing what goes in their mind..
Bikram’s
That’s what should eventually happen to them, I believe. But knowing what makes them tick can be helpful, dont you think?
It’s just sick mind and complex mentality of patriarchy and false pride to dominate..in this world. We need to draw a line and always respect women-something they are not taught.
A thought-provoking.

What twisted minds and mentality they have! 🙁
Terrifying! I wouldn’t want to know how to mind functions but I wish someone could get into their mind and set things right.
Amen to that!
It is not worth reading mind of an insane man.
I know what you mean, Mr Chowla. But for the sake of their future victims, I think we must know what goes on inside their head!
If it could save another hapless victim it would be worthwhile, Shilpa!
True that!
A very strange choice of mind Shilpa. I dread to think how sickening it might be, but then such an insight might help protect many minds from being scarred for life.
I know what you mean, Reshma and that’s the precise reason to read his mind!
If one can know why people are driven to commit rape and other acts of cruelty, hopefully one can use this knowledge to prevent others from committing the same acts.
Amen!
yes, rape has become like a disease now and studying their minds might help put an end to this act once for all. Good thinking on the prompt, shilpa:)
