The point is only that behaviour is influenced by genes so behaviour is a response to environment with foundations in genetics. Our genetic makeup is not random - we are products of evolution, processes like natural and sexual selection.

Maybe you didn't read my post on page 2, but this bit here is getting pretty close to the biological theory which explains rape as a strategy To understand the hypothesis in full, you have to know about biological selfishness. No animal has sex for the sake of it's species and no person has sex for the sake of humanity. We do it for our own sake.

Also, what you do and I don't is concern yourself too much with morality. To me, that's not the interesting thing here. Of course I don't condone rape and I don't think people here believe I do. I expect every other sane person here to feel the same, so discussing the morality of it is not really interesting to me. Discussing whether rape is a product or a byproduct of evolution is.
