Rape is fundamentally a crime of violence and not motivated by sexual desire. Rapists use sexual violence to dominate their victims, to express anger and to feel powerful. Nearly all rapes involve threats of bodily harm, and in many cases the woman suffers severe physical injury. Threats of violence are made even worse by the presence of a weapon and intimidating verbal abuse. An act of rape means that the woman was violated not only physically, but psychologically as well through the use of violence and verbal degradation.
Women ask for it.
The victim is absolutely not responsible for the rape. Many often mistakenly assume that she could have prevented the rape by avoiding certain social situations, dressing differently, or by putting up a fight. The mistaken suspicion may be even greater if the victim exhibits no visible physical injuries. The truth is that virtually anyone placed in a life-threatening situation can be paralyzed by fear or recognize the futility of physical resistance. There is simply no way for anyone to completely guarantee the safety of an environment.
