How does it feel being a man and being told that being able to commit rape is a natural part of our biology...

ok then.. i cant really speak to that as i am not a man.. BUT there is a biological basis in it.. cavemen (for lack of a better word) did what they had to in order to both get release and procreate.. no i dont think maist men are like that today but you cant deny that it WAS there at one point

Evolution... cavemen are very different from men today... so i disagree... 😬

But thats what im saying... not all women SHOULD see all men as rapists... they should just have a bit of common sense... if a girl spends a night getting twenty drinks off a guy and then agrees to go home with him, what does she honestly think he's expecting?

agreed she is being a tease & a dumb twit.. BUT she still reverves the right to stop th eact at ANY given point

Ah but then low self-worth can make some women believe that they aren't raped when by external definition one would consider it rape. In the same way that victims of molestation tend to blame themselves when they aren't to blame. It's difficult to tackle an issue such as rape considering the diversity of individual cases.

Yet that also gives her the right to treat a man like shit? 😬

So then women need to stop being so naive... 😬

PR, how do you otherwise address the point that the overwhelming majority of rapists are men?

Well you could for once say that Men are usually physically stronger...so that might be something.
Then what aboot the upbringing....which is quite diofferent from males to females....

There is undeniable evidence that androgens are linked to aggression in humans - not just males. However translating that into saying all males are intrinsically agressive and violent, and further translating that into saying all men are capable and willing to perform acts of sexual violence is highly specious. God this is a long article...

To slightly address an 'off-topic' point, re: the whole rape/penetration issue.

Legally, only a man can commit rape. The definition is penile penetration of the anus, vagina, and, as has been recently added, mouth.

Therefore in a literal sense, it is a natural part of our biology.

However, I imagine the question relates to an innate desire or drive to commit rape, which is lurking underneath whatever surfaces.

To be quite honest, this is probably true. That's not to say, though, that we cannot have 100% control over it at all times.

😖

where do i start...

why are most murders men? why are so many priests child molesters?

Maybe its an emotional instability, maybe a psychological problem, maybe a case of being frustrated to breaking point...

But i dont think theres a 'rape' gene inherently contained within every man... 😬

ok for the record:

this chick & her 'study' were wrong imo

i personally DONT think all males are rapists, but i can understand why some woen WOULD feel that way be it right or wrong

there is a biological reason, no matter how dormant that CAN (not that it is) be awloen in men

girls SHOULD take mnore reposnsibility for their action but they still retain the right to say NO at ANY point

So say, for instance, a healthy sex life would dull this desire?

As I just posted, it's a quirk of the legal system that all rapists are actually men.

So legally, penetration by digits or object isn't rape?
