It has gotten to a point that, in order to specify the traditional sense of the term rape as "forced sex", it is no longer sufficient to use the term ''rape'', but one needs to call it "rape-rape". But even forced sex is not necessarily rape because many women actually love being forced into sex (as long as the man isn't [[Ugliness|ugly]]). Real rape, in which the man is ugly and in which significant physical harm and/or unwanted impregnation occurs, hence needs to be called "rape-rape-rape".

== Rape and evolution ==


As much as 35% of men admit they would commit rape in certain contexts, if there was no repercussion, and likely [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_desirability_bias even more] would actually do it.<ref>https://spssi.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1540-4560.1981.tb01075.x</ref>

This suggests rape is an adaptive behavior that evolved because it enabled men to reproduce in the past.
This suggests rape is an adaptive behavior that evolved because it enabled men to reproduce in the past.
Evolutionary psychology can provide potential explanations for this.
Rape can also be observed to be natural in many other animals, even closely related great apes, such as Pans (chimpanzees and bonobos).{{citation needed}}
Evolutionary psychology can provide potential explanations for such behavior.
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 Blackpill#Personality|have secret desires]] to be raped (by good looking men that is). It has also been proposed that men may rape in response to being deprived of sex (though this has been disputed<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0162309596000763</ref>), in order to satisfy a fetish for violent and coercive sex, out of a psychopathic drive for high levels of sexual stimulation (these rapists typically being sexually experienced), or men being driven in some cases to rape their partner when they suspect cuckoldry,<ref>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12110-006-1009-8</ref> in order to compete with the male rival for impregnation of their partner.<ref>https://doi.org/10.1037%2F1089-2680.12.1.86</ref>
