I actually think I remember Oprah saying something along those lines when she was talking about her own personal experience. I think she said, "It's not about sex. It's about power." That was the first time I ever heard that before. I always thought they were committed by horny guys that can't control themselves. Of course, I'm sure there are plenty of occasions that are like that, but I'd think if a woman clearly wanted to stop that they'd stop. I'd think there would always have to be some kind of underlying want of dominance, or affinity for sadism.

I find in situations sexual display of clothing can really attract men aggressively. Once there is some sort of rejection, men exercise their power to show sexual dominance. So I agree with what you said. Just thought I'd bring some sort of understanding to the link.
