What's the point of this analogy between raping and eating, though? That both are verbs doesn't mean the actions described by them belong in the same category of behaviors that have the same histories (biological & social). Humans cannot go without eating, but men can do very well without raping. I haven't heard of a man who died because he had no person to rape.
