RE: RE:Is rape natural?
I think you should be careful with the way you throw around the word natural. Your use quickly defines natural as anything that exists; therefore, rendering what is meant to be deep as nothing more than superficially provocative.

Care to make a stronger case regarding rape as an evolved adaptive trait? Probably not since you will be unable to account for instances why women that are clearly not able to reproduce, older and younger, are raped. Even if you were able to make a strong case for rape as an adaptive trait, you will have to deal with the mate selection rituals that are ubiquitious in the animal kingdom. Compare the numbers of instances in an attempt to ascertain which is more natural.

Since your use of natural is so broad it can easily be claimed that our efforts to protect individuals and societies from the effects of rape are also natural. Again, simply based on averages, this would then seem to be more natural than rape.
