"rape isn't about sex, it's about power" is a creaking basic-ass take that was a specific counteragent to even more basic-ass rape apologism, "my sexual desire was uncontrollable" it's just straight-up incorrect, it's about sex *and* power or they'd just fucking punch someone

yeah, there's a level of at least agreed-upon-among-the-rapists desexualization there (obviously used as cover some proportion of the time). i'd call them outliers, but it'd be terribly hypocritical of me to disregard outliers

enh, yeah, you're right, i'm aware that numerical prevalence of rape of men is enormous all out of proportion to cultural perception. hard to overcome the bias of years of conditioning by feminist discourse to identify rape as a thing done to women by men

yeah, that's fair. on the flip side, when one has heard a convicted serial rapist piously parrot "rape isn't about sex, it's about power" as part of his spiel for why he doesn't have deviant sexual arousal and shouldn't be legally considered a predator, it can shift perspective
