Why do they say rape is about power?

Why do they say rape is about power?
I would imagine overwhelming majority of time its just about wanting to fuck

What do you mean rape is about power? Do you mean that men rape women to show them that men are superior?
If that's what you mean, I understand and I agree with you, it's just because sex.

I hear stabbing someone to death is sexual, does that make axe murder like doing anal?

No, these are 2 different things.

I don't know. I think if it were just about sex you would pay a hooker.
I believe there is a power play element.
Like making another being helpless and subject to your will.

And there is a will to hurt someone.

I'm not into that and think people who are are losers and sick in the head.
You can achieve the same thing with consent and a BDSM partner.

That is something women say, not men. I was trying to explain to a woman how intense the need to fuck or even to touch a woman’s breasts can be.

They are right in one dimension that it is about power, because for them it is about losing power to control what is happening. But it’s not the full story dx28d

No, it's not the same.
Hookers and consent is not the same feeling as rape.
If it were, no one would complain about it.

Do you watch porn? I do. The first porn I watched was with professional actors. I hate this kind of porn now.
Now I like getting boners from reading. When I was younger, I hated books. But now I like them. Some don't.
Some like raping. It's their thing. It's illegal, but that's what they like no matter what.
Some people like illegal things JUST because they are illegal.

You're missing the point.
Of course some people might like rape because it's rape or because it's illegal.
Those people are sick in the head.

The question is, why they say it's about power and not just about the will to fuck.

And as you said, it's not about the fucking.

When you label a group properly, you set it up for undeserved damages.
> rape is about power not sex
This is a reframe, which is a coping mechanism for victims.
In the hands of non victims this becomes a precursor for stupidity.

Rape is showing power, whatever reasons you might have to rape someone doesn't change that.
