Some theorists think that the sexist attitudes of patriarchal societies contribute to the occurrence of child sexual abuse by promoting male domination of females. Men are socialized to feel entitled to sex and to use sex as a way to meet their emotional needs. The feminist perspective considers that in patriarchal societies men see their children as possessions and can therefore be used to gratify their sexual needs.
