Not that rape *isn't* about power - I'm sure most have this as an important element, and some have it as the sole element - it's just that in most discussions I see this talked about as the only possible reason.

Pinker said something like "For everything that men want, some men have used violence to get it."

Rape is mainly about uncontrolled/unrestrained sexual desire, whether people want to admit it or not. If it were only about power, you'd see a lot more people being grabbed & forced to clean homes, cook, sew, etc. Also, many rapists are psychotics & sociopaths with no conscience.

> A power motive can’t explain why both male and female offenders prefer young victims. Uhh, yes it can. The whole article rests on the author's inability to find a power-based explanation - this isn't proof of anything.

Great point. Rape is negatively correlated with porn and legal prostitution. Suggests it’s mostly about sexual frustration.

How do we know that? The correlation, I mean. Any papers, articles you might recommend?

I've often thought that if you want to stop school shooters, make prostitution legal. No incels, no mass shooters
-
Where did this idea come from that all mass violence is perpetrated by incels? There have been a handful of attacks by incels, but a lot of attacks by other people as well.
