"While I fully expect game aficionados and evo-psychics to find holes in my reasoning "
I wouldn't ask either of those people anything.
The author's claim, "in a buyer’s market there’s little incentive to steal" still buys into feminist ideology. The reason most men don't rape is that most men are not pathologically violent predators. This goes way beyond a "lack of respect for the law" or social norms, as rapists are a tiny minority even among criminals, who unlike rapists are most commonly motivated by material gain.
Every civilized society must strive to (1) eradicate heinous crimes by punishing the offenders, and (2) insure that the innocent aren't punished along with the offenders. Too often, the second half of that balance is omitted from the public discourse. Accusations of serious criminality, especially murder and sexual wrongdoing, too often are their own convictions in the high court of public opinion because the stigma is so severe. It is our mission to raise awareness about the injustices suffered by persons wrongly accused of serious criminality. Protecting the innocent from unjust harm as a result of a wrongful accusation is a hallmark of a civilized society.

What causes some men to commit rape is just lack of respect for the law: the vast majority are also involved in other criminal activities.
Similarly, false rape accusers often have a vast history of lying about all sorts of things. Scum is scum.
