You begin with this:
Presumably to create an effect and declare your moral conformity to the others.
Then you continue with this:
Chimpanzee and dolphin females--two of the other most intelligent and highly social animals on this planet--have also evolved the ability to copulate outside of estrus, although I don't know if any biologist has determined whether they enjoy it. There are a few other species but the ability always arises as an aid to maintaining good relations within the pack/tribe/pod/whatever.
This makes rape possible. I'll take your word that it's widespread among chimps but you're the first person who's ever put it so strongly. It occurs in dolphins, but only in certain populations. In fact to my knowledge the only place where it has been documented is off the coast of Australia. Must be all that Foster's running off into the sea.
Presumably to cover up for your original rational error.
Amongst primates rape is, in fact, commonplace and females use sex to garner favors, to maintain alliances and to maintain relationships.
A practice, by the way, common amongst human females.
This is then followed by the threat of social condemnation and the repercussions inherit in challenging communal rules:
To those of you who think you've found a loophole and it's okay to have non-consensual sex with a woman who doesn't know it's happening, I offer the reminder that secrets are fragile. Your judgment is so bad that you're telling us before you do it, so you'll certainly have a lapse in judgment when you're drunk and tell a couple of buddies after you do it. Once three people know a secret you might as well post it on the internet. The odds are pretty good that that poor woman will find out. And if you think the only reason they hate being raped is the feeling of being physically violated so all you need is a good anesthetic, you'll discover that the assault on their privacy and dignity is just as odious or more so.
and this:
You'll be sitting around the dinner table with your family some night twenty years from now, and this woman will burst in on you, fueled by ice-cold, long-festering revenge, possibly accompanied by some really big and well-armed relatives. Or it could just be the cops, two days before the Statute runs out.
Then come the emotional condemnations using established moral codes to induce feelings of shame, a popular religious method of mind control:
More importantly, what kind of incompetent parents raised you to believe that it's okay to take advantage of people when their guard is down?
and this:
That is the first rule of civilization. We can only live together in these gigantic communities and have a functional culture if we're not always looking over our shoulders expecting our fellow citizens to attack us.
And yet violence perpetrated and sanctioned by the establishment (capital punishment, war, the raping of foreign lands, jailing, persecution etc.) is acceptable.
Here the alpha male status is taken over by institutions, and they act as males do in the wild as authoritarian, controlling mechanisms of dominance.
A final warning is presented as the cost of reverting back to our natural state, inadvertently exposing the price of “civilization”:
We would expend so much of our time and labor on personal defense that we would be unable to contribute to the productivity of society. We would not produce enough food, housing, and other goods and services to survive. We would devolve back into the Neolithic village lifestyle in which people trusted each other because they knew everyone personally and were related to most of them. And of course billions of people would not survive because subsistence farming cannot support the same population as a civilized world.
In the last statement we see how survival precedes any other consideration and how adaptation is driven by purely selfish motives.
We are willing to sacrifice personal options, if it guarantees us an escape from the natural world where we feel vulnerable.
This fine veneer of “civility” is what stands between rational man and his instincts.
Then a final plea for a return to the hypocrisy which comforts his sensibilities and does not force him to face himself honestly:
I hope you guys are just pulling our chain. If this is a true expression of the morality of a representative sample of Generation Z or whatever the hell you call yourselves, the human race is in deep shit.
Also included in the responses this emotional outburst exposing how truth is often shaped by personal interests and subjective hopes:
For those men who think it's ok, if the girl does not consent/ remember I ask you this:
If your mother or sister/girlfriend were involuntarily drugged and fucked by a stranger while un/semi conscious is this ok?
Here we are urged to alter our understanding of nature because we are victims of it ourselves or can become so.
The threat lies in reminding the other that he is just as vulnerable as anyone else and it shows how the majority’s opinions are shaped and maitained by self-interests.
We remain moral, in fact, so as to not become victims of amorality.
This really exposes the thinker’s motives and not so much her understanding, since she’s unconsciously displaying how she thinks.
Her opinions and awareness of the universe is based on how she benefits or not from them.
Then, what follows is the final censoring mechanism the threat of institutional costs.
The weak always revert back to their shields to protect them from the big bad world.
They cannot argue against reality so they deny it and protect themselves behind authorized power.
Want to see how censoring and mass mind control occurs?
Watch this display.
What democracy and free-speech?
Watch how it is the weakest, the female, who cannot tolerate any thoughts that confronts her sense of stability and belonging and safety.
This is philosophy?
Is this a philosophical mind?
I ask you to decide on your own and then see how you too self-censor and conform to poplar opinions under the premise of a moral universal code.
Now I’m not advocating rape. I am not advocating anything that would turn the wrath of the sheeple majority against you in any way.
I am saying that some of the things we take for granted as ‘good’ and ‘just’ and ‘civil’ are really human inventions to create the façade of safety and comfort.
Civilization in built on a foundation of psychological repression and denial.
Most instances of psychosis or “criminal behavior” are caused when the strain breaks the mind and comforts it with its natural predispositions or when reason loses control over its own instincts.
