Like you linked to supporting information when you first made your claim?
Argument from authority. Nice. Because none of your links actually contain evidence.
But OK, here's some links. First, I'll match your Psychology Today link with another Psychology Today link:

Viewed dispassionately, the "rape is about power, not sex" claim appears problematic on its face. First, human behavior is multiply determined. Meaningful human events have more than one reason and are shaped by more than a single motive or force. Rape is a human event. It is motivated by more than one thing. Second, to claim that sex—one of our most powerful motives (our species’ existence depends on it, after all)—is somehow absent from an act that routinely involves erection, vaginal penetration, and ejaculation defies reason. Arguing that rape is not about sex is akin to asserting that gun violence is not about guns. Both claims betray an incomplete and politicized view.
Or how about another one:

The classic rejoinder to Brownmiller was by Don Symons in The Evolution of Human Sexuality. Symons reviewed forensic evidence showing that victims, as a class, were most likely to be young physically attractive women (as opposed to older, more successful career women). On the other hand, convicted rapists were disproportionately young disadvantaged men whose low social status made them undesirable as dating partners, or husbands.
An interesting bit here is to contrast that with a quote from your third source:
Myth - Rape only happens to young attractive women
Fact
Women and girls of all ages, classes, culture, ability, sexuality, race and faith are raped. Attractiveness has no significance. Rape is an act of violence not sex.
These seem to contradict each other. But in point of fact, the myth it seeks to debunk is a straw man to begin with. Yes, rape doesn't
only happen to young attractive women. But it
mostly happens to young women. Age is easy to quantify, attractiveness is not, so I don't think there are any reliable statistics on the attractiveness of rape victims. But given that age is very strongly correlated with sexual attractiveness, the claim that attractiveness has no significance is contradicted by the available evidence.
One last link, from a more academic perspective:

Consider the following facts:
- Most rape victims are women of childbearing age.
- In many cultures rape is treated as a crime against the victim's husband.
- Rape victims suffer less emotional distress when they are subjected to more violence.
- Rape takes place not only among human beings but also in a variety of other animal species.
- Married women and women of childbearing age experience more psychological distress after a rape than do girls, single women or women who are past menopause.
As bizarre as some of those facts may seem, they all make sense when rape is viewed as a natural, biological phenomenon that is a product of the human evolutionary heritage.
Note particularly that fourth point. Brownmiller says that animals don't rape. This is false. But she uses it as a central justification for her claim. It's necessary for her argument, because animals plainly have a strong evolutionary sexual motive. If animals that want sex never rape, then one can claim that this is because rape can't fulfill sexual desire, and thus human rape can't be about sex. But if animals do rape, then human rape isn't special, and may be motivated by the same thing: a desire for sex.
Brownmiller's claim is dogma, not wisdom. It has been widely adopted not because it provides any actual insight into rape, but only because it is politically useful. But it is completely wrong. And it's so obviously wrong that people need to be "educated" into believing it.
