World Today: Girls Become Sex Abusers

Wisdom Quarterly

In another sign of the impending apocalypse (that on the one hand shortens human lifespan but on the other hand "lifts the veil"), females are increasing on the abuser end of sexual misconduct. Long the domain of those in power, as females gain in status and privilege, they are increasingly prone to the pitfalls of social power.

It is not that males are more abusive by nature. They are filled with ideas of privilege, given a sense that they have a birthright by virtue of our sex, the right to exercise power and control, which usually stems from fear or insecurity. What are we afraid of? Intimacy, loss of control... What are females trying to gain through abuse? Safety, control, satisfaction...

The truth about cats and dogs: "The hurt hurt." Those abused often become abusive.

Sex differences are not fixed traits. They are mutable states. Even if one is a certain way from birth, the cause may be traced back to prior lives and habits. We condition our future in the same way. Those actions we will and carry out become habits and character traits, not by nature but by careless repetition.

How else would one explain the choices made by these young Midwestern teens?

Teen Girls Accused of Sexually Abusing Special Needs Boy

April Kutcha, 16, to be tried as adult

VALPARAISO, Indiana (KTLA.com) - A 16-year old girl will be tried as an adult after she and another teenager allegedly held a special needs boy against his will and sexually assaulted him.

The prosecutor's office filed four felony charges against 16-year-old April Kuchta including criminal confinement, sexual battery, and intimidation in connection with the attack.

The second suspect, a 14-year old girl, will be tried as a juvenile.

Investigators say Kuchta and the other teenager lured a developmentally disabled 17-year-old to come to Kuchta's home where they handcuffed him and jabbed him repeatedly with a knife.

According to court records, the victim told police that they recorded him on a cell phone doing and saying things against his will and Kuchta touched him sexually.

After leaving him handcuffed and covered with a blanket for two hours, the girls allegedly invited others over to witness the incident, according to local TV station WBBM. Kuchta is being held in Porter County Jail without bond. Source

• New Domestic Violence: Teen Relationship Abuse
• Abuse in dating relationships is common among teens. In the United States, 33% of teens report some kind of abuse, and 12% report physical abuse. Teen dating abuse is like domestic violence in adults in that it also is a pattern of abusive behavior used to control another person. Teen dating abuse can include emotional or mental abuse, sexual abuse, and physical abuse.

Of course, the matter is not limited to teens. Sexual molestation by female adults is increasing or more widely reported, particularly in schools. That women would behave the same as men have traditionally behaved should come as no surprise -- unless we think the actions stem from traits rather than states. As women find themselves wielding powers, privileges, and discretionary income customarily confined to men, we should perhaps expect to see more not fewer stories like this:

Politician’s Wife Jailed for Mother-Daughter “Sex Triangle” with 13-Year-Old Boy
Wishididntknow.com


(Daily Mail, April 10, 2011) The middle-aged wife of an Arizona politician has been jailed for 13 years for a three year affair with a teenage boy.

Susan Brock began grooming the boy with presents such as an Xbox when he was just 11 years old.

The mother-of-three began having sex with the teen when he was 13 years old, and their affair continued until he was 17 years as she attempted to mold him into her "toyboy" [boy-toy] lover.

At the same time as she was sleeping with the teenager, her 18 year old daughter was also having sex with the boy. ["Like mother like daughter," we'll someday be saying.]

Rachel Brock will go on trial later this year but is likely to get a lesser sentence on her underage sex charges.

The mother-daughter sex triangle was revealed as Brock, 49, was jailed after pleading guilty to three counts of attempted sexual conduct.

Brock wept in court as she apologized for her behavior, which is said to have left her victim, now aged 17, suffering from "inescapable depression."

Her husband Fulton, who filed for divorce after his wife’s arrest on sex charges, is Supervisor in Maricopa County, Arizona.

Prosecutors had said church-going Brock was a predatory mom who had picked out the son of a family friend to satisfy her sexual desires.

She began molesting the boy when he was 14 years old with encounters often taking place in her Lexus car and at her home in Chandler, Arizona.

The [formerly] dark-haired homemaker also helped the teen have sex with his girlfriend and even supplied them with a "sex kit" including condoms. Brock’s three year affair came to light after her teen lover’s girlfriend told his parents.

Brock had been charged with 15 counts of abusing the teen, but under a plea deal reached in January pleaded guilty to three lesser charges. More

"The Power of Nightmares" (watch free)

The myth of the monster Osama bin Laden is constructed; here's why.

(MD) "The Power of Nightmares: The Rise of the Politics of Fear" is a three-part BBC documentary film written and produced by Adam Curtis.

The films in the series compare the rise of our Neo-Conservative movement in the United States and the supposed "radical Islamist" movement around the world, making comparisons on their origins and claiming similarities between the two.

More controversially, it argues that the threat of radical Islamism -- as a massive, sinister organized force of destruction, specifically taking the form of al-Qaeda -- is a myth.

It is perpetrated by politicians in many countries -- particularly American Neo-Conservatives -- in an attempt to unite and inspire their populations to follow the failure of earlier, more Utopian ideologies.

Part 1: Baby It's Cold Outside
The first part of the series explains the origin of Islamism and Neo-Conservatism. It shows Egyptian civil servant Sayyid Qutb, depicted as the founder of modern Islamist thought, visiting the U.S. to learn about the education system, but becoming disgusted with what he saw as a corruption of morals and virtues in Western society through individualism.

When he returns to Egypt, he is disturbed by westernization under Gamal Abdel Nasser and becomes convinced that in order to save society it must be completely restructured along the lines of Islamic law while still using Western technology.

He also becomes convinced that this can only be accomplished through the use of an elite "vanguard" to lead a revolution against the established order. Qutb becomes a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and, after being tortured in one of Nasser's jails, comes to believe that Western-influenced leaders can justly be killed for the sake of removing their corruption.

Qutb is executed in 1966, but he influences the future mentor of Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri, to start his own secret Islamist group. Inspired by the 1979 Iranian revolution, Zawahiri and his allies assassinate Egyptian president Anwar Al Sadat, in 1981, in hopes of starting their own revolution.

The revolution does not materialize. And Zawahiri comes to believe that the majority of Muslims have been corrupted not only by their Western-inspired leaders, but Muslims themselves have been affected by the disease of jahilliyah.

Thus both may be legitimate targets of violence if they do not join him. They continued to have the belief that a vanguard was necessary to rise up and overthrow the corrupt regime and replace it with a pure Islamist state.

At the same time in the United States, a group of disillusioned liberals, including Irving Kristol and Paul Wolfowitz, look to the political thinking of Leo Strauss after the perceived failure of President Johnson's "Great Society."

They come to the conclusion that the emphasis on individual liberty was the undoing of the plan. They envisioned restructuring America by uniting the American people against a common evil -- and set about creating a mythical enemy.

These factions, the Neo-Conservatives, came to power under the Reagan administration, with their allies Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, and work to unite the United States in FEAR of the Soviet Union.

The Neo-Conservatives allege that the Soviet Union is not following the terms of disarmament between the two countries. And with the investigation of "Team B," they accumulate a case to prove this with dubious evidence and methods. President Reagan is convinced nonetheless.
