This is the old "blame the victim" excuse, excusing a man's behavior by blaming it on the woman. It goes back to the Bible...original sin by Eve.

(7,520 posts)Men get attractive so people will want to have sex with them.
While attractiveness is a factor, its not usually the only factor with women, but many men focus on it to the detriment of others (personality, humor, thoughtfulness, etc) in many cases.

(37,648 posts)That was the point I was making. It's men who rape...right? A woman CAN, if she uses an object. But it's very very rare.
Women aren't raped because they're attractive. Elderly women are raped, unattractive women, skinny women, fat women. It's a control thing, a power thing, an anger thing. This is established.
