I think conflating dominants with rapists walks a dangerous line. The times I've forayed into the D/S scene and the people I know who are heavily into it are probably more conscience of issues of consent than most others, and often in a much more explicit way.
I suppose you're much more qualified to talk about D/S relationships than I am, Gilda, but I don't think that being a dominant and being a rapist and taking out those desires really reflect the same type of person. Certainly power factors into both, but I don't view rape as an extreme of being dominant. Both branches along the same line, but with very different mindsets.
