I think that people confuse the act with the motive. In the case of rape, a person is violated and robbed of their inalienable right/choice. Also, we need to think about what sex is or should be: sex is or should be about making an informed decision and feeling empower to make that decision; rape robs one of making an informed decision and the empowerment one should have or feel in making such a decision. That aside, robbery too is about power and perhaps greed. Robbery, like rape, takes awake one un-guarded self. In turn, this allows the robber or rapist feel powerful.
