Reason for details

Whittaker, When I read the information about their sexual past, I was actually relieved - to know that she knew the perpetrator beforehand, and therefore could identify him a little more easily. I don't think it makes it any better that they had sex before or that it had been twice. I don't like that they included the really detailed information about a lot of it, but it wasn't the past sexual information that I minded so much. I thought that could have been handled better, with for instance, a comment about the fact that she had met one of them prior to the meeting, but I really don't like the graphic details in most of it, which leaves me feeling sick and ashamed of my sex.
Reading this makes me ask myself, for the thousandth time, why it's always (seemingly) men that do the raping? Is it because it's physically easier logistically speaking for a man to rape a woman, or because we are the "weaker" sex, or perhaps because there is something innate in men that makes them much more capable of this? I don't really think men are the only ones that are capable of rape, but they are the ones that seem to commit it almost exclusively - why? Sigh, just something that completely eludes my understanding...
