This is another common rape myth, that rape is perpetuated by "sickos." Hell, pylon tried to make a link between rapists and mental illness, which is so factually wrong and utterly ignorant that I hesitated to address it. That people with mental illnesses are often at greater risk for sexual assault makes it doubly offensive.
Anyways, I digress. There is no common denominator for rapists, other than "usually has a penis." You guys throwing out the halfway house and dude creeping in bushes imagery need to do a bit of research. When 1 out of 6 women are sexually assaulted by someone they know, I'd ask you just what exactly you'd expect them to do, other than just not having male acquaintances? The other edge of this sword is that women who do take this approach are admonished for categorizing all men as rapists. So really it's damned if you do and damned if you don't.
