Actually I think what the rapist wants to take is the victim's right and power to say no.
Do you really think that people who rape elderly women actually want geriatric sex or that they can't find someone younger and willing?
One of the problems of making rape primarily about sex is that it leads to victim blaming and saying or suggesting that it wouldn't have happened if she didn't dress provocatively, didn't act so flirty, wasn't so slutty......
I can't speak for Egyptian culture, but I think it is fair to say that pretty much any man walking around free in the U.S. these days can have sex if he wants it. It may not be with a woman as attractive as he wants unless he's willing to pay for it, but no one needs to rape here to get sex. So why do they rape if it's about sex?
