Rape, Sodomy, And The Annihilation Of Personhood

From Men and Matriarchy, Mary Malone writes:
The promotion of homosexuality is a major plank in the patriarchal effort to deny the personhood of the Peasant Man.
The virility and vigour of the Peasant makes him the enemy of Patriarchy.
His instinctive independence makes him an enemy of the State.
An autonomous man only wishes to love his woman and to go about his business. He likes to feel the sun on his back, not the lash of the hierarch.
An autonomous man expresses his sexuality by serving his woman in love. For him, his family is all important, and that means providing for his wife and children. 
But for those men degraded by the hierarchs, like the masters and slaves of the plantations, sexuality is at best an appetite, at worst a system of rape and sodomy.
When the Patriarchal Male has sex he is conquering the woman. He is 'taking' her. Whether she 'yields' willingly or not, the act of love has been turned into an act of domination and rape.
The Patriarchal Male uses his gift as a weapon to subjugate his woman. The woman is no longer his to serve, but his to possess.   
Often the Patriarchal Man will sodomize his woman.
Whereas reciprocal genital sex involves mutual service and love, sodomy can only be an act of domination.
Sodomy and rape are the hallmarks of Patriarchy. Both have the aim of humiliation, of removing the victim's personhood. The aim of both violation and buggery is to dominate and annihilate.
The homosexual rape of Colonel Gaddafi as he was being murdered, is a prime example of this attempt at total destruction by sodomy.
Wherever there are men in uniform there is rape. Rape is not just a consequence of war. It is one of the prime aims of war. The destruction of the peasantry, the subservience of the ordinary man and woman, the annihilation of the common person's personhood, has always been the true objective of warfare.
