Quote:... Can be a gamble, though... uncertain genetics or potentially rape-inclined... I'd say it bears investigating. Maybe it already has been.Unlike serial killers, there's no conclusive evidence that rapists are more likely to be psychopaths - That's a myth, just like the myth that rape is mostly practised by strangers - It's not, the perpetrators can be husbands, boyfriends, and it happens in locations the victim once felt safe, the case of the creepy guy who jumps behind the bushes and rapes you is rare compared to situations of rape carried by men (mostly males) that the victim once trusted...
All of this to say, and I'd bet my head on it - Most rapists are probably regular Johns with no relevant psychological or psychic problems, and evidence for that would be that in highly patriarchal societies rape is more prevalent (look at India) - Which leads to the conclusion that social acceptance and disregard for rape, as well as sexual entitlement to the victim's body and a the feeling of power and domination (that the perpetrator feels owed too) are the primary causes of rape. So no, I don't think there's actually probability of the child being a rapist just because the dad was too, as long as he/she isn't educated in a society that makes rape something acceptable.
We could say India has more psychopaths, but I doubt it - Psychopathy, on the other hand, is something that can be genetically inherited, despite the fact that the common cause is a childhood trauma - We have that example from the TV series Dexter - But psychopathy doesn't equal being a rapist, and being a rapist doesn't even equal being intelligent or some kind of highly aggressive strong predator - I'm sure the average rapist in countries dominated by Islam is just a regular Joe who thinks it's completely normal to rape his wife and therefore he does it.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
