In contrast, women are relatively powerless. The rape situation is an enactment of this unequal power relationship. Rape is a sex crime committed by men with uncontrollable sex drives. Rape is a crime of aggression committed by men who want to dominate, degrade and compel physical intimacy on unwilling women. Most rapes are not spontaneous but planned ahead of time.
Rapists are no different than the average man, physically, sexually or psychologically.
Most have a greater tendency to express violence and rage more openly. Rape happens outside in dark, isolated places. The majority of rapes happen in either the victim's or rapist's home, with the next most common location being the rapist's car. Rapist and victim are strangers to each other. A woman cannot be raped by her husband.
