Look at this, kloo:

Women reported to have perpetrated conflict-related sexual violence in 41.1% (95% CI, 25.6%-56.6%; n = 54/148) of female cases and 10.0% (95% CI, 1.5%-18.4%; n = 8/66) of male cases.

Association of Sexual Violence and Human Rights Violations With Physical and Mental Health in Territories of the Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo

Doing a bit of math...

16.3% of women were raped by other women. 23.6% were raped by men.

21.2% of men were raped by men. 2.4% were raped by women.

Women were not an insignificant number of the perpetrators of war-time rape on civilians.

Now the likely reason is that women didn't rape as much as men is that they aren't gang-pressed into roles as combatants as often.

So what we're really seeing is this. More men rape in war because more men are socialized or forced into being combatants (and suffer depredations--being a combatant is a big risk factor for being a victim of sexual and physical abuse.)

This has nothing to do with men or women and everything to do with socialization and the breakdown of our most profound social taboos in war ravaged areas.

You can't turn men and women into agents of destruction and then expect them to turn around and play nice with civilians.
