If you have any empirical evidence, I'd love to hear about it. I don't put much stock in the opinion of an unnamed criminologist.
That said, I'll have to look up the refs for my last post on this thread and post them. (I'm guilty of posting evidence from unnamed sources as well). I believe that The Natural History of Rape by Thornhill and Palmer and the most recent edition of The Evolution of Desire by David Buss both contain the sources I reference above, but I will find the primary sources and post them.
EDIT: I'm not going to post 'em, but if you want 'em, PM me. The rape: sex versus power discussion that I have been participating in is probably a threadjack.
