You have an incredibly poor understanding of evolution and biology. Women have more than one, "egg". Additionally, hundreds of thousands of years ago when humans marveled over learning to make fires, women were already deciding who they would like to mate with. It's not something that is new to women as you make it out to be.

Oh mighty, I obviously know that women have more than one egg through their lifetime, but as I was building on (possibly poorly) the argument made in the first post about the amount of extra work and and sacrifice a woman has to put into a pregnancy as opposed to a man (as we're only able to have one kid going for us at the time, and it takes nine months, and the fact that we have _one egg at the time, and then it bleeds out and we get a new one. Pretty much. Don't worry, I go through this enough to have at least a basic understanding of what I'm talking about (but of course I'm not a biologist))
I think you might have misunderstood the argument I was making; rape happened before, and I understand what it happened before and I'm more ... okay with it happening before. Of course it didn't happen for everyone and every single mating that happened wasn't a rape, but back then it was considered natural. I'm not okay with rape happening today. At all - but I'm very aware of its continued existence. We're in an intelligent society (believe it or not), and yes, rape does happen, but we should know and understand better than that by now : )
