Rape can stem from psychological issues as well. People in modern society arent exactly balanced anymore, anyone looking at the prevalence of anti-depressants, divorce, etc, can see how well we're doing as a whole. There are a lot of people who are just plain sociopaths.
We weren't balanced before, either, as anyone who looks at the entertainment of the past would quickly see: blackfaced Jim Crow shows and bareknuckle boxing in the 1700s-1800s, bear baiting up to the 1600s, and all manner of bloodsport up to and including gladiatorial combat during the Roman Empire. In fact, the reduction in such horrid forms of entertainment and the spread of much-needed psychiatric medication indicates that we are more balanced than ever before. Increases in female financial independence from poorly-chosen husbands mostly accounts for the increase in the divorce rate during the same time.
