The mistake is in calling all rape motivations equal in the eye of the offender. It might be about sex, or power, maybe both, maybe other reasons as well.
Perhaps someone here could share their knowledge about the spectrum of rape situations? For instance:
-Getting drunk together.
-Getting them drunk.
-Drunk with physical force.
-Physical force.
-Physical force and abuse/assault.
-Abuse/assault.
Where do these fit in the prosecution of sexual assault crimes? Would a horny teen's plying of his reluctant girlfriend with a drink really be thought of as motivated by power? That would be strange.
All generalizations are bad.
