Gene Wilder loved to jump in the middle of the killers and start talkin’, “Hi guys! How ya doin’?” I said, “Gene, bring your ass out.” “What do you think they’d do to us if we were here, Rich?” I say, “F___ us.” And Gene said, “I’m not homosexual.” “Homosexual ain’t got nothin’ to do with it. They don’t f___ you ‘cause you like it. They just f___ you just to see that look on your face.”
-Richard Pryor
Yes, as they say “rape isn’t about sex, it’s about power”.
Though there certainly is a sexual element to rape, it’s just not necessarily the primary element.
