<<Human males protect their females from rape.>> Yes, and sometimes a human male will protect his female from rape, and go down the road and rape another man's female because he sees up her bear skin dress as she bends over to stir the fire and her male isn't around and it strikes him as exciting him to rape her. For her it's not sexual. For him it's hot.

Blue, it is true lions don't rape. But they practice infanticide, for reasons having everything to do with sex (that is, with perpetuating their genes). The females emphatically do not welcome this -- but (like rape) there is nothing they can do about it. Infanticide -- killing the progeny of rival males, even of rival females -- is fairly common in the animal kingdom. The reason rape is less common (I am not sure it is TOTALLY unknown)is quite simple: 1) males are not drawn to females that are not in estrus, and 2) if the female IS in estrus, she will probably not resist an approach.
