Fair enough.  But in this case I was responding to
a post which stated flatly that Paglia had said
rape was about sex, no further argument, so a flatly
stated response seemed appropriate.

If somebody wants to present Paglia's reasons for
saying rape is about sex rather than power, I'd
be happy to take a crack at refuting them.

(Love your analogy.  May I borrow it?)
