I agree. There is no idea so outrageous that it won't find some readers.Sean Renaud said:... There is a crowd for your writing if you have talent. Go for it.

Never said:Why does he shoot the boyfriend?
Never said:I don't know how much misogynistic attitudes actually cause rapes. I'm more of the opinion that biology is to blame; if, on average, women, children, or the elderly were as strong, able, and healthy as the average adult male then you'd see a much more equitable demographic distribution in victims.

"..to blame biology is to say that rape is inevitable and natural."
Rape is natural. Whether or not anything is inevitable is a different discussion.
"…biology isn't a motive; it's a reason for why certain groups are more likely to commit rape than others…"
It's a reason why certain groups are more likely to be the victim of rape.

Interestingly enough, in Thornhill and Palmer's Natural History Of Rape , it is posited that the omega males of the primate group, skulking frustrated on the sidelines, are the rapists. This is confirmed by observations of chimps, gibbons, bonobos, orang-o-tangs and the like.fogbank said:But to blame biology is to say that rape is inevitable and natural. Biology plays a role in who the victim is, but biology isn't a motive; it's a reason for why certain groups are more likely to commit rape than others. But consider the geek in the story above--if biology is the major factor in determining rape, then surely the weakling geek would be less strong and able, and thus less likely to commit rape than an athletic jock boyfriend. I mean, why not blame every case of domestic abuse on biology, too?
Hatred, unlike biology, is a motive--sometimes, there is a hatred toward an individual, but more often, it is hatred toward a larger group--women as a whole. Sure, if men and women commited equal numbers of rape then it would be wrong to say that misogyny is the primary motivation for rape. I would have said that misogyny and misandry were equal factors. But that's not the case.
