Rape is not just about power and control. It came about by evolution for reproductive reasons.

Came about by evolution? Maybe, I can understand that rape to sentient beings is just normal reproductive behavior amongst species who have no notion of consent, instincts drive them to mate whenever the circumstances permit, but to say that rape as an intentional violation of consent came about through natural selection is something different and can't be inferred from non-consensual mating amongst beings without the same cognitive processes counting towards consent and/or mutual gain.
