theory, might add later to this, but

when you say that sexual assault is exclusively/largely/predominantly caused by some sort of "depraved lust" on the part of the assaulter, you are doing the work of the patriarchy for them.

The research has shown, time and again, that sexual assault is more similar to physical assault than to sex in motivation: that is, it's about power and entitlement rather than attraction.

I don't get why everything we know about abuse goes out the window the moment you append "sexual" to it.
