Quick poll: is it a common belief here that rape is a form of “gender discrimination” motivated by politics?
As opposed to being a crime that just happens to affect women more than men because of innate physical differences between the two genders that you cannot legislate away?
I ask this because another poster said: “…it is sexism and the inequalities between males and females that drive rape. In the same way, it would have been impossible to stop the lynching of black people without talking about racism and white people's domination of blacks…”
She went on to imply that if you didn’t support her political beliefs and goals, then you were indirectly encouraging, or even causing rape. So, ALL rape is motivated by the rapist’s political beliefs, and not by a criminal’s sociopathic mentality?
Is this just a shaming tactic, or a legitimate point? Are sociopaths politically motivated? Do you believe, then, that someone smashed my car window and steal my stereo just because I voted for the wrong candidate, or just because I am male?

The reason of politics that the poster stated is ludicrous and an obvious "shamming tactic" as you seem to have correctly concluded.
There is no cookie cutter answer to the cause rape as the motivations are various and seem to often be a mix of multiple reasons. Those motivations can include: control, sadism, humiliation, culture, and, not least of all, sexual gratification.

One could argue that non-feminist socio-political views are symptoms of mental problems or personality disorders, as they are so hateful in nature. You can clearly see how MRA on here showcase other such symptoms.
We also live in a rape culture, where mens abuse of womens bodies is celebrated in the media - just look how degrading porn is to women. The erotization of violence and mans inherent aggressive tendencies contribute to this.
