This was something discussed when I was in college (I majored in Criminology and Sociology) and besides the usual, "It's not about sex, it's about power", I do remember

of an interaction years ago in school. Someone said, "Women fantasize being raped by a man", and the woman told the man (while looking straight ahead), "Fantasizing about it does not mean we want it to happen" and I think it's probably the same for men. It's been over a decade since college, but we were taught the UCR (Uniformed Crime Reports) were the most accurate, but I don't know any rape statistics, if it's going up, down, etc.. I did hear about 30k-70k reports of sexual assault in the US military. I also remember a few generals saying this would happen, but then there's the other side who says men should control themselves, but then one can argue that in times of isolation, not having options, possibly seeing death and coming close to it, man probably becomes more "animal". I'm not conservative, but for the sake of the woman (and society in general), I would separate them. 70,000 women who are sexually assaulted will never be the same, and have to eventually come back to the United States.
Yes, women shouldn’t have to go through this, but we also know that too many women will never press charges and some never tell anyone out of shame, fear, and a thousand other reasons each person has. I don't remember the stat, but I do remember how astounded we were by the notion of how women will pass up "good guys" and hook up with abusive men. It depressed the hell out of me. I felt hopeless for them, and myself, because at that time, 22 years ago, there was a woman who I would love to have married, and maybe have children with.
I once asked a ‘lover’ why she didn't date guys like me. She said something about liking the bad boy. I told her I had never been to jail, and never wanted to, and would never diminish myself for a woman, or anyone else. The last time she was supposed to come over, she completely flaked out, and waited until the evening to tell me she fell asleep (she later admitted she lied).
