Why so many "anti-feminists" in the atheist community?

I think it's all supportable, but how about you save me the time and specify which part of it you think is false or unreasonably speculative?

The part I quoted, of course -- about genetic tendencies of X% to commit rape.

And I didn't apply those adjectives to your claim. I asked for you to support it. Please quit putting words in my mouth, or thoughts in my head, thanks.
I'm putting no words in your mouth, but requesting you to express enough words that I can answer your question. No you have, so I will try to comment.

I don't know what percent "X" represents. You can google as well as I can; here are a couple random links.

However, I know that "X" is non-zero, and that demonizing rapists after the fact will do little to reduce rape in the future-- because the demon is in the DNA. Humans are animals, no less brute than gorillas or chimpanzees, but with a more presentable veneer. But that veneer is only skin deep, and it doesn't take much for that monkey brain to escape its bounds.

Real steps CAN be taken-- through better sex education, through the elimination of sexual repression, and through women not taking unnecessary chances in the name of trust, or with the false sense that the social mores that people proclaim so loudly in the daylight will provide them a non-zero amount of protection in the darkness of night.

So long as PC is seen as a shining shield against reality, that X% will continue to get, and take, their chances.

I think that it can be very frightening for some women to admit in person what turns them on because they don't want to be viewed as abnormal. Online offers anonymity so more women are open about their habits.

When I was younger, I didn't like gay porn but never really watched it. While I was watching Game of Thrones, I found myself thinking that Loras and Renly's relationships was hot so maybe I would have always liked two men having sex if I'd just been open to watching something new.
Interesting. I don't think your comments represent the majority of women, but that doesn't really matter. You are female, and you are asserting your own experience that your inclinations are not so different than mine, and I accept that.

If there are other females who think like me, then so much the better. Maybe the lusts and aggression that I deal with as part of being a man are more understandable to women than I thought.
