Is rape natural?

[Creed of Heresy]

Define natural.

I answered yes.

My understanding of what is 'natural' would suggest that rape is natural.

An overwhelming amount of species in the wild commit rape, including our closest relatives chimpanzees. I refuse your notion that humans are not animals. It's an incredibly arrogant idea IMO.


Just because we have a moral compass that tells us it's not nice, doesn't make it any less natural than picking your nose.

So does the urge come naturally to you? As naturally as picking your nose? I'm pretty sure the urge to pick my nose comes up far more often than the urge to commit a rape, if I pick my nose only once in my life. And I'm pretty sure that the same could be said of the vast majority of human beings.

The reasons given for why rape occurs in the wild, are to prevent genetic extinction, as I stated before. Bottom of the barrel, no hope of getting laid members of the pack. Yet with human beings it's something that seems to come the fuck from nowhere. It's been seen to happen from and across all walks of life. The human mind is more advanced. It makes decisions based on information. It doesn't run off of instinct AS much. I'm not saying it is devoid of instinct, far from it, we still operate from it in many ways, but it has higher thought processes beyond just survival, yes? So, if nature is the argument for why rape occurs, then how come it is occurring in ways where a biological imperative such as the one posited by scientists is not present?? Married men committing rape? Clearly they have a mating source allocated. Men who are attractive, hell, men whose jobs are to fuck attractive women on camera commit rape. Where does that come from?? What "natural" biological impulse says "well you're mating through normal means, BUT FUCK IT, over-ride that shit, and FORCE it on others!" What sense does THAT make, exactly? There's no "natural" explanation for it. A social one, sure, but a natural one? No.
