ok ill change it to some social animals and not just humans that make it into a game of dominance that still doesnt make the theory wrongmanaman said:No it's not "simple as" because that's fairly wrong. Sure some date rapes probably happen because of desire. Most violent rapes have little if anything to do with pure sexual attraction. There might be some attraction that triggers the obcession but it always plays a back seat to other factors.bahumat42 said:Humans have the desire to mate. Some humans don't learn the proper way to do that. Simple as.
Dogs show dominance the same why. You don't really think when a female dog humps your leg that the ***** is trying to pass on her genes. Male dos often hump other male dogs for the same reason.iblis666 said:rape is a evolutionary accepted form of passing on ones genes that in many humans has been perverted into something less about procreation and more about dominance(though truth be told i dont understand the dominance motivation but i do understand the motivation to pass on genes)
It is believed that the overwhelming majority of rapes go unreported, yes.quantumsoul said:That's a pretty scary reality. Like I said it'll happen if the person thinks they can get away with it. Which is the case with people that are trusted. Probably lots of rapes that never go unreported. Loved ones are supposed to prevent this sort of thing which is why it's deviant and done only in secret. If humans were solitary animals it might evolve to be a form of mating(messed up, I know).
That comment was either suspiciously knowledgable OR accusational of The Escapist community.AccursedTheory said:Rape is a crime of dominance.
For the most part, it has nothing to do with sex.
I'm surprised so many Escapist don't know that.
if it was only about power, why wouldn't the rapist just deal out beatings? I think it is often about power and sexual urges gone rampant.EmperorSubcutaneous said:It's not about sex, it's about power.
Well I dont know, back then It may have been related to survival of the fitest, also cultrual changes as wellToxinArrow said:Because some people are fucked in the head.

anyway I was just thinking, from mabye a natural or evolutionry pespective why does rape exist? has it got somthing to do with family bonds?
Mabye the definition of "rape" was very different in prehistoric times, do you supose it was still traumatic then?
I mean I know it can having somthing to do with asserting dominance, particually man on man

Not really sure what family bonds have to do with anything, but biological theory pretty much says people rape to spread their seed and continue the existence of the species. Rape isn't human exclusive, you can see it in numerous other animals species.

I don't see why it wouldn't be. What changed recently that made people not like being violated in the most intimate, personal manner?
you forgot to quote george carlin, i agree all the same.FutureJarhead16 said:Anything can be funny, its all about context.Zannah said:A thousand times this. It's just not funny people :/Rem45 said:Also, it really pisses me off when people joke about it. So many people are raped, I know two people, as yet others think its okay to just use it as a joke.
Of course sex is involved, that's what makes it rape.xdom125x said:if it was only about power, why wouldn't the rapist just deal out beatings? I think it is often about power and sexual urges gone rampant.EmperorSubcutaneous said:It's not about sex, it's about power.
I disagree, Not every sexual encounter in "caveman times" (and by that I mean us, homosapians) was rape, thats redicualous, there was still mating anf family bonds and such, tribal culture and giving children best hopes of survivngSilentRuss said:It's a build-up of sexual frustration that explodes into action.
The only way we could mate with the women in caveman times was rape.
Now that we have law and order (morals for the weak to make themselves feel better), it is simply criminal to rape.
Why some people still do it? Read "Lord of the Flies" or "The heart of darkness".
Mental disorder. Degeneration. It's potential is in all of us.
Just make sure you are protected when law and order is gone.
I know I will arm my women to the teeth.
human behavior, what they were influenced by, that is the sole reason for rape, there is no predetermined biological reasoning for rape, its not genetic, its an imposed factor on the rapist, whose personality turns to rape due to the results of different influences in their life. Don't let any one tell you different, its not natural for people to rape, its only inevitable that it happens in the society today because of the way people try to fix or prevent people from turning into rapists, which is that they don't try to prevent them, and think that rapists are born rapists. this is the same as with the majority of crimes, the blame is never with their environment.Vault101 said:Ok this is a sensative issue I know, I know that rape is a very bad thing and I am in no way trying to downplay it
