Maria Mies, Patriarchy and Accumulation on a World Scale: Women in the International Divison of Labour page 168

The police rapes are perhaps the clearest manifestation of the outcome of a basically repressive patriarchal system. Those who are supposed to keep bourgeois law and order are de facto beyond any law because they control arms. To call for more police, even if they are female, to check the increase in rape is, therefore, self-defeating.
