Ahh a topic change - is this ok when there are so many little dinkers with so much time on their hands out there...? Answers anyways...
Sorry Striker - rough couple of days so been a bit longer than intended, I read the article on wicki, pasted it below...
----------------------------Start -----------------------------------------
The research on convicted rapists has found several important motivational factors in the sexual aggression of males. Those motivational factors repeatedly implicated are having anger at women and having the need to control or dominate them.[1]
Factors increasing men's risk of committing rape include alcohol and other drug consumption, being more likely to consider victims responsible for their rape, being less knowledgeable about the impact of rape on victims, being impulsive and having antisocial tendencies, having an exaggerated sense of masculinity, having a low opinion on women, being a member of a criminal gang, having sexually aggressive friends, having been abused as a child and having been raised in a strongly patriarchal family.
A study by Marshall et al. (2001) found that male rapists had less empathy toward women who had been sexually assaulted by an unknown assailant and more hostility toward women than nonsex offenders and nonoffender males/females.[2]
Freund et al. (1983) stated that most rapists do not have a preference for rape over consensual sex,[3] and Marshall et al. (1991) stated that there are no significant differences between the arousal patterns of male rapists and other males.[4]

Thats copied and pasted from the reference you provided, I really can't see where you don't think it is power and control after reading that.

The really sad thing is that children who are raped have a higher chance of becoming offenders themselves if they dont gain access to help - counselling etc, they have anger issues from suppressed feelings and here in NZ the male victim/support organisation did a survey of the males they saw in prison and believe it or not 86% of males in NZ prisons have been raped or interfered with as kids. So not all go on to rape - but the suppressed anger etc propells them into other crimes - its as if they don't care because "someone was never held accountable for what happened to them"
A lot also resort to physical violence and substance abuse... bleedin sad really.
Sex is so easy to get these days, with the promiscuity of everyone, including the younger girls, and there is a new breed as well called 'cougars' lol, - you dont even need to pay for it, so rape isnt necessary to get laid, its a choice based I feel, on agression :|
(Ohh did you see what I did thar - I just linked that back to our original discussion hehehehe "choice").
I do however never totally agree with wicki because (I think...) its just people like you and me adding to it so it is a lot of their knowledge and ideals / slants on things unknowingly input as well.
