172. It defies all logic to suggest that sex is 0% of any part of rape.
I agree with your points.

The word "sex" doesn't always mean "sexy" or "sexual appeal" or "lust", etc... especially not in the case of rape. Hell no. Of course not.

However, "sex" can be viewed from a purely biological perspective. Rape by DEFINITION includes sexual organs by either the victim or the rapist being violently manipulated and ALWAYS against the will of the victim.

To state this obvious point doesn't imply any judgements against the victim. Absolutley not. But to try and redefine rape as having nothing to do with the violent sexual behavior of the human animal rapist seems to obfuscate one of the root causes of rape. And misunderstanding the causes of rape helps no one in the attempt to battle it.
