Sociology tells us that men rape because they want power over the girl. Their strongest example is when they point to some rapists who rape elderly women. I'm sure this argument is true for a few rapists, but is it true for the majority?
I cannot bring myself to believe that the majority of rapes are from men seeking power rather than sex. Being a male myself, I can tell you that if I were to rape someone, it would be because I want to have sex with a really hot girl, not because I want to dominate some 85 year old.

If that is the case you are not a rapist! Men who rape have a rage within them that can only be relieved by raping women. It is similar to the rage that some men have when they beat their wives. They do it to relieve that rage and gain control over the woman, not to have sex with her.

I was raped in high school and I think it was just about sex, but I think for some men, maybe older men, it's probably about power too.

But that's still a power issue in my mind !!
As the way I understand it. Even if A hot girl gets raped, she was over powered by the raper cause he could dominate that situation..
But good on ya for your honesty. Good luck !!!

If Chris Wallace gets another interview with Bill Clinton , maybe Bill can give first hand experience .
Men like that , who would sexually assault women , have no conscience .
