In her essay “Why Nice Guys Finish Last,” Julia Serano addresses the ways that our cultural mindsets shape our expectations for male and female sexuality, and the problems these mindsets create. Serano argues that the “predator/prey mindset” has negative effects on both men and women, helping to create a rape culture where sexual violence and intimidation of women by men is normalized. In this context, women expect and are expected to be treated as sexual objects, and men expect and are expected to be sexual aggressors. Serano argues that such mindsets obviously harm women, who are subject to the majority of sexual violence, but they also harm men, favoring “assholes” who play into stereotypes of sexual aggression over “nice guys” who attempt to resist them.
