A woman who hitchhikes is asking for a ride only. No woman, no matter what her age, class, economic or social position, is free from the fear of sexual violence. The sex offender is usually a sex pervert or a sexually frustrated man. Many rapists maintain a satisfactory sexual relationship with other women during the time they commit the offences. The rapist is not characterized by perversion so much so he is by his contempt for women, by his wish to dominate, to control or humiliate his victim.
Women fantasize about being raped.
No woman fantasizes about the real horrors of being raped. Fantasies about seduction, a forceful lover, being carried off by a handsome stranger, are quite a different matter. The most important aspect is that the person fantasizing remains in control. Rape, on the other hand, involves an overwhelming sense of helplessness and fear for one's life because of being in someone else's power. Women often falsely report sexual assaults out of revenge.
