The main cause of sexual violence is the dominance and power of one over the other. Curra mentions the elements of manipulation, power, control, anger, and sadism that come together in kinky sexual activity (pp. 210). Men have always been the stronger in the relationship and sexual inequalities create power differences where “rape can be used as a form of social control by turning women into helpless victims with no ability to stop what is done to them and can be a way to punish a person perceived as deviating from important gender norms (pp. 216) and “women being the property of men, women living a virtuous life, and women being devalued have contributed to the occurrence of sexual violence” (223). Sexual violence is used as a measure to ensure one's dominance of power over other men and women (pp.217). In times of war, desperate measures were resorted to and rape was used as a defense mechanism to demoralize and humiliate the opposing force (pp. 217-219). Furthermore, rape was used as a biological weapon (pp. 221) to possibly eliminate the opponent because the women of the other side carried the other side's children, which would ultimately purify everyone to be on the same side. Sexual violence may also be rooted in social and cultural factors (pp. 223) where some cultures consider and contribute to the equality of all genders (i.e., male, female, gay, lesbian, transgender, straight, bisexual and pansexuals) (pp. .227). From a social perspective, there are many factors that influence the causes of sexual violence. For example, fraternities create an aggressive environment among males seeking pride (pp. 225). Another social factor has been modern technology that allows easier access for the offender to kidnap the victim
