>Consider the following facts:

>• Most rape victims are women of childbearing age.
and what, then, explains rapes of women of non-childbearing age? if those things happen then clearly the theory is limited. furthermore, below they maintain that the numbers are disproprotionate. disproportionate to what? to population or just that far few post and pre menopausal women are raped.
have they checked this out historically comparing avg ages over decades? what about incestuous rape?
and, if this is about the drive to reproduction, then is there evidence that 1, rape is a successful strategy [do raped women get pregnant?] and 2. that men rape women who are ovulating those precious 2days out of 30?
as for one, they slide out of that one by suggesting that rape is the strategy of the losers --wimps who lose in the contest with other men or who aren't successful or who have a rotten "bedside" manner. okeydoke. so driven to spread their seed but wihtout access to women/receptacles for it, they must rape.
they do not answer 2 at all. does anyone know if the incidence of het sex in general is higher at ovulation than at other times. it would seem to me that that trait would have reproduced itself somewhere down the line. people would be more apt to reproduce themselves if they were capable of sensing prime time for penetration [at the main bank and not at branch banks for them thar deposits neither!!]

well, yosh, at least they didn't say that it's coz the non-married women are grateful.

this is the most absurd statement i've ever read in my life. apparently, men's drive to reproduce extends only to the drive to spread the[ir] word among as many different receptacles as possible, whereas women's similar drive binds them, absolutely, to raising those babies so that they actually survive. sort of the shotgun approach for men, eh?

i still wanna know why heiffers are always humping other heiffers, why my dog jake used to hump everything that he thought humpable and why anton's dogs are so kinky too!

heh. this is as good as that engagement ring advert -- only two months salary buoyz! god, and here i once almost gave it up for dinner at the A&W in that camaro.

i don't know about the rest a you grrlz who consort with buoyz on occassion, but rilly, l i'd rather be taken by force than give it up for an ossified hawker [spilling?] too.
