Rape: Difference between revisions

For example, during warfare, which was likely common between ancestral tribes, men of both high and low status could likely vastly increase their reproductive success by raping the captured women with little fear of reprisal. Men's urge to rape may also have evolved because men have less [[Bateman's principle|parental investment]]. They do not need to give birth to the offspring nor care for it, hence can increase their reproductive success by impregnating/raping many women. For the same reason, women have evolved a natural disgust of being raped by men with poor genes. But women have likely also evolved to prefer rapists with good genes because the tendency to rape will be passed on and enable high reproductive success in the offspring as well. This may explain why women [[Scientific Blackill#Personality|have secret desires]] to be raped (by good looking men that is).
