67. How can they be innocent?

If they are only following their innate human nature, according to you?
On one hand you insist rape is simply human nature, and then you insist that it isn't really widespread. You are contradicting yourself left and right. Your effort is sad, and your game transparent.

If you actually care to know why more rape cases aren't prosecuted, there is a lot of material available to read, starting with this article. But that isn't your concern. You go from one argument to another in outrage over the fact that we dare express concern that rape is widespread and that violent felons pretend their own predatory behavior is the result of human nature. I don't dispute that some humans are indeed predatory and violent. That is why they belong in prison.

So you do have evidence of a major culture CFLDem Mar 2014 #28

So you are saying that only violent men are valued by our culture, and it is human nature for Squinch Mar 2014 #71

Actually yes CFLDem Mar 2014 #73

And look at how, as a culture, we show in the ways that count that we assign little value to those Squinch Mar 2014 #75

It is an interesting hypocrisy of our nation CFLDem Mar 2014 #77
