I think this is one of those "We are having different conversations" moment. I think sethg_prime is just saying that it is significant that men do more rape than women do. You are talking about "well what should we do about that?" and generally contending that anything we do about that is going to be bad.

Some of the things we do about it could be more positive, such as spending our money to put "It's hotter if she says yes" ads in the mens' bathrooms at bars instead of in both the mens' and womens'. It could lead us to wonder why men are more likely to rape and try to figure out the underpinnings and address those (like figleaf's Two Rules of Desire (http://www.realadultsex.com/archives/2009/01/shorter_nosex_class_paradigm.html)) where we can.
