gamelord:
People who have low sex-drives don't rape.
Wrong.
Why is it that males rape often, but females don't?
That is partly tied into the evolutionary drives I mentioned earlier. But it is also largely due to the fact that males are, on average, larger and stronger than females, and so have a better chance of being able to coerce using physical force.
Wrong. Rape is not primarily about sex, as has already been explained to you by several people.
You keep injecting moral outrage into everything. Like I said I never framed this as good or bad.
That's the problem. You seem curiously disconnected from what is good or bad in male-female interactions.
I merely stated, that sexual frustration increases the likelhood of them raping.
Wrong. Or, at least, that's a negligibly-important factor. Far more important is a sense of entitlement, combined with wanting to blame one's own failings on somebody else.
When did I say rape should be legalized?
I didn't mention the law, but now that you bring it up, we can add: not only is rape wrong, it's also illegal.
But since you're going down that road of moral outrage, I would like to say this. When I see murder on the News, I don't care. When I see theft on the news, I don't care. It's just humans being their usual immoral creatures.
In other words, you're telling us you lack empathy. Congratulations, you share one more common trait with psychopaths. That, too, makes you dangerous.
I have already stated I believe rape is traumatizing to women.
You have no idea
why it is traumatising to women. You still think the reason is
disgust.
So where is this emotional outrage even coming from? Because I don't bend to your every view?
Mostly, it comes from seeing yet another example of a man who refuses to educate himself - who is so tied to his own opinions that he refuses to listen to what anybody else has to say. It impoverishes you, and it's demeaning to the people you presume to talk about as if you know.
I have stated what seems to be objectively reasonable: That rape is traumatizing to women because they are disgusted by it.
Let me give you an example. Suppose that you occasionally, or regularly, have the opportunity to eat strawberries.
Now, to use a somewhat cliched example, suppose that one day, as you're walking down the street, a large man drags you into an alley, pulls out a tub of strawberries and starts forcefully ramming them down your throat, causing you to struggle for breath as you choke on them. Telling him to stop makes no difference; he doesn't stop until the tub is empty.
Do you think it matters even a bit to your resulting trauma whether you love eating strawberries under normal circumstances, or whether the thought of eating them disgusts you under normal circumstances? Do you really expect us to buy your line that the trauma of this experience would lie in primarily in the disgust you have for strawberries?
Suppose the police catch the guy and he's put on trial. Would it be a valid defence for him to argue "But, your honour, there is evidence that the guy I fed the strawberries to has eaten them before, and multiple witnesses report that he loves eating strawberries. Therefore, I did nothing wrong"?
The trauma of rape is not about whether sex, under normal circumstances, disgusts the victim. Get it?
And even that is not enough for you, what will only satisfy you is if I blindly obey and submit to your every word in dictation.
I'd much prefer that started to listen to what I and others have to say to you, and that you started to think about it. You spend way too much time in your own little fantasy world.
