History fail!

[gryphonsegg]

This morning I was reading this thread about rape culture at The Hathor Legacy. My brain came screeching to a halt when one commenter asserted, "at no point before the 20th century did the idea penetrate mainstream culture that women could actually feel lust – as opposed to being fooled by men into capitulating to sex". For the stunned historians out there, I repeat, someone seriously made the claim that "at no point before the 20th century did the idea penetrate mainstream culture that women could actually feel lust – as opposed to being fooled by men into capitulating to sex." My brain is still broken!
