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 : )

What about the fact that most men nowadays reproduce. But competition for mates, where the majority of people don't reproduce, builds a healthier human race?
Bring back rape and fighting for mates?
