Your philosophy is self-evidently crazy. Why isn’t rape good, if your only purpose is to reproduce? Why don’t you abandon your family and spend all your time going from country to country donating sperm? That increases your odds of reproduction a lot more than having a family. Why don’t you divorce and start a second family, and then a third? More reproduction! Why not pay poor Indian women to have baby after baby after baby? More copies! There’s no ultimate point to it, so why not just enjoy yourself?

And re: rape not being universal because someone studied some culture they don’t remember in college where they didn’t have a word for it, I studied that too. It was Samoa, as described by Margaret Mead in a book that is now recognized to have been totally inaccurate, in part because she didn’t recognize that the Samoans she was talking to were fucking with her as a joke.

I think it’s wrong to say someone is motivated to do everything for reproduction. They are not consciously or even subconsciously motivated (not necessarily), it’s just that they evolved to do things that lead to reproduction. Things like enjoyment of sex, gathering as many resources as possible, trying to look good, etc.

When you speak of goals, you can’t talk about natural processes, which aren’t persons with consciousness, and can’t have goals. Persons can have goals however. And those persons’ goals can sometimes go along behavior that leads to reproduction, and sometimes their goals go against that.

Marriage is meant to serve the offspring’s imperative and the imperatives of both parents become secondary at that point. The problem is that marriage to you people has no other purpose than self gratification of either spouse. You don’t know what “for the sake of the kids” means. Its a foreign concept to you. In this way you are more childish than your own children.

““While post-traumatic stress disorder was not a factor in large numbers of suicides, data show, among nearly 85% there were failed relationships, something linked to frequent separations.”

“Still, at at least a third of soldiers who killed themselves this year never went to war, and some leaders draw a correlation with societal stress, perhaps related to the poor economy.”

Or more perhaps related to women.”

Its foolish for a spouse, whether wife or husband, to assume that their other half is going to be faithful if they are out of town much of the time. Are many spouses in such situations faithful? Sure. But why assume that’s the way it is or *should* be.

Proceed with caution.

False. Reproduction is the end goal of every living organism and everything that men and women do is motivated by the urge to reproduce. That means rapists are also motivated by it.
