I think she was just trying to say that our discussion of whether it is natural or not is moot. Whatever the cause or motive, it is still a crime.

Yes, but has anyone claimed otherwise?

Both are relevant. Logically one would assume they were out to show they have power however who would show it through rape unless they had at least a slight urge for sex. This could also be an abnormal fetish of sorts.

NO, I think she was just trying to put the issue in perspective, because it was starting to sound as if motive made a difference as to whether it was a worse or lesser crime, which it doesn't.
