And if you want an exclusively evolutionary argument why rape is wrong, I can give you that too: the mother of your child is more likely to allow it to develop and survive to childbirth, plus nurture it in an environment that better equips it to survive in the world, if the child was conceived as a part of a consensual, loving relationship. It's the reason why parent couples are so common in our evolved child rearing strategy.
Of course, morality and evolution aren't the same thing; "is" does not imply "ought," after all. But the point is that even playing the stupid little game you want to play, you're still on the losing side, DIManiac.
