Other than a dick or a hand going into a woman, in what way is that sexual?

Because what you want to take from her is sex. How is that not sexual?
Perhaps in Tahrir Square or in war it's is also political, but in the instance of random sexual violence, the power is fleeting ( at least for the rapist) and limited to that one quasi-sexual encounter.
