So many racist and classist ideas propping up rape myths. When all else fails, blame victims and perpetrators' mothers. Urban life is to blame, but also the suburbs. Uneducated and educated women are both responsible. The (mostly male) theorists of many fields can't conceive of environmental causes for men to commit rape generally: the criminals must be divided by race/class because white middle-class men are exempt.

The emergence of the term "sexual psychopath" arose in a period where it was politically expedient for governments to seem tough on crime. This diagnosis could lead to indefinite incarceration and circumvented legal processes and verdicts, and often applied to non-violent sex criminals (including gays). The most violent sex criminals may not have been subject to this as they didn't display symptoms of mental illness.

I hate psychoanalysis, not least of all because a woman is always to blame for a man's behaviour. Apparently men are exhibitionists because they have narcissistic mothers or frigid wives. One cure depends on directing their rage upon their wives, another demands that their wife is sexually available at any time to him. Exhibitionists are white men, men of colour are indecent exposers.
