How normal is to think about rape?

[Ananke]

not trolling or trying to be funny, but rape is actually a fairly effective mating strategy as some women opt to keep the baby or have no access to birth control. some evolutionary psychologists use this fact to suggest that the tendency was selected for during evolution. mass rape of women during war is also a common phenomenon.

Mating strategy? How will you find and retain a mate by raping them, lol...

I guess you mean reproductive strategy?
I didn't know people had a reproductive strategy (consciously anyway).....

Hellz yeah we do! Women wear lipstick, men learn to dance, and some sick men like to rape.

Human mating strategies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


In evolutionary psychology and behavioral ecology, mating strategies refer to the set of behaviors used by individuals to attract, select, and retain mates. Mating strategies overlap with reproductive strategies, which encompass a broader set of behaviors involving the timing of reproduction and the trade-off between quantity and quality of offspring (see life history theory). Relative to other animals, human mating strategies are unique in their relationship with cultural variables such as the institution of marriage.^[1] Nevertheless, commonalities can be found between humans and nonhuman animals in mating behavior (see animal sexual behavior).

Are the definitions that formally defined? I was just using the terms interchangeably in a layman's context.

Yeh, but isn't that to have SEX, rather than to have KIDS?

An evolutionary psychologist would say that sex is just the lure for the desired or undesired purpose of having kids.

Interesting link. It does show a varied response from rapists to their crime as well.
