An extremely important aspect of the feminist theory of rape is the fact that

A) the main function of rape is to humiliate and possess power over the victim.
B) rapists do not know how to express their needs for intimacy.
C) rape is a means of sexually controlling women.
D) rape in an expression of anger toward the self.
E) rape has increased over time because women are becoming more dominant in society.

The feminist theory of rape posits that the main function of rape is to assert power and dominance over the victim, with the goal of humiliating and subordinating them. This view emphasizes the ways in which rape is used as a tool of control against women, rather than a result of men's inability to express their needs for intimacy or the expression of anger toward the self. Additionally, there is no evidence to suggest that rape has increased in prevalence as a result of women becoming more dominant in society.
