This of course true. It is also the reason that Susan Brownmueller's theory 
that rape is a political act to keep women down, that it is about power rather 
than sex seems kind of silly. Why would the rapist risk jail or worse to 
advance male dominance? If it is about power rather than sex why are rapists almost 
always young men and rape victims young women? Rape is about sex and it is as 
Damon points out part of the male drive to procreate by hook or crook.
