In homage to Tiberge, what exactly is rape?

On the face of it, rape is sexual coercion. However, the emphasis on coercion ignores the clear and present sexual and sensual component of rape.

These "youths" wouldn't rape women they weren't attracted to. When they commit rape, they are grudgingly displaying the attractiveness of the victim, who is really an object of attraction and affection than a victim per se.

Coercion is employed because the perpetrators suffer from an inferiority complex that encompasses both the aesthetic and the cultural. Seen in this light, the incidences of rape in question reverse the roles. The rapist or more accurately "under-confident admirer" is the victim to the perceived superiority of the object of his desire.

Discussing these attempts at love as crime only heightens the victimization of the youths. Instead, the objects should be encouraged to see the youths as potential mates rather than "losers" or "creeps". While a full-blown relationship might not be in the cards, women could meet the youths "half way" and at least respond to their advances favorably e.g. with sex.

Sex is no longer a big deal in post-modernity, and we no longer associate it with love or marriage, so we're not asking women to give up anything really. In fact, they might find it pleasurable, and such willingness will reduce the need to resort to crime...
