Does being rich turn people into rapists or do a disproportionate number of rapists get rich?
There’s actually been research showing that CEO and other senior executive roles tend to attract a disproportionate amount of people with psychopathic tendencies when compared to the general population.
Being rich enables rapists. There are plenty of average rapists, but they don’t have whole networks grooming victims. And they don’t make more than the local news when they get caught.
We just hear about high profile ones more than regular ones.
One of the things I have observed is that wealthy people lack empathy for others. Its one of the reasons they make money so easily. When you don’t care about anyone but yourself its easy to screw someone over. The same lack of decency would make raping someone easy.
Narcissists have a high self focus, fuck the rest. Makes them perfect to climb up to CEO levels. Kind of the same thing in how so many priests are child molesters
People tend not to chase power and status out of a burning desire to do good by their fellow man.
