| Summary: | This study aimed to determine the perceptions towards rape, sex, and women of convicted male Filipino rapists. Four respondents, who were recently convicted for rape but not earlier than five years after conviction were tasked to write one story based on what they believe is an example of rape, and another story based on what they believe is an example of sex. A semi-structured interview was then conducted wherein the respondents’ stories were used as vignettes. Using thematic analysis, the major themes found on the perceptions of convicted male Filipino rapists included the use of drugs and alcohol, the belief that rape is planned and intentional, and the belief that women are raped because they are accessible. On the other hand, there is also evidence suggesting the presence of victim blame, masculinity, and objectification of women. |
