Message-ID: <144@blic.BLI.COM> Date: 19 Jan 88 00:14:23 GMT References: <517@gtx.com> <248@nancy.UUCP> <6852@ihlpa.ATT.COM> Distribution: na Organization: Britton Lee, Los Gatos, CA Lines: 16 Summary: ENOUGH! Why is it that no women are defending rape? Whether it is rationalised as biological, hereditary, sociological, psychological, reproductive, dominating behaviour, or whatever, it is not justified. Any society that has rapists recognises it as a crime, even if that society condones it by ignoring the victims. If rape is a reproductive advantage to the rapist in keeping his genes in the gene pool, then murder of the rapist is equally justifiable in keeping those same genes out of the pool. Any aberrant behaviour can be justified using animal models, only humans can justify justifying the behaviour.
