Testosterone is the Poison Seed

Sorry to disilusion you, but you can´t "stop rape" because men have been raping women and little girls since the human race began. Did you romantic people think the ape-caveman brought flowers and invited women to candlelight dinners in their caves? No more than an ape does. When nature demanded sex, primitive meb diidn´t ask, they took, simply throwing the unlucky female to the ground and getting on with their testosterone needs. For lagniappe, like the Russian soldiers who "liberated" German cities after WW II, they also probably wrung their vicitms necks as lagniappe. Testosterone is the violence hormone. It´s not sexy. It demands sex and war, both based on the urge for violence..The woman´s reaction was not taken into account. It probably took quite a while before male violence and the female need for affection blended into what we think of as romance. Along with flowers and love songs, romance came much much later. Probably as much as a million or so years. Sex and breeding offspring were the original urges as they are with all earth creatures. I think the recent decrease in male testosterone which is panicking men worldwide is Nature´s way of rewarding men for all the billions of people they´ve killed in continual wars over thousands of years...and the untold numbers of women and children they´ve sexually violated. The Universe works slowly sometimes, but its Justice rolls around eventually and is inexorable.. Er... blacksocialist: The aim of men who rape women when the latter are sleeping, is to catch the women off guard. thereby making their criminal act easier to accomplish. DUH! They´re trying to avoid a struggle and make things easier for themselves, the cowardly beasts. Does it matter? Do you think it´s fairer or more moral for some beast to break into a woman´s home, and wake the woman up first to give her a fair chance to agree or fighr back? Where´s your logic? Share Benthead...great name! You can´t stop rape with reasoning. Men are bigger, more muscular and infintely stronger than women. Men make wars millennia after millennia. Men rape women because when they want sex, they take itl. They always have and always will. period. The Universe, Nature, God, whatever you want to call the force of Justice, is finally rolling around and taking care of it. Testosterone is the rape and war hormone, and now Nature´s decreasing it worldwide. There are no coincidences in the Universe- Justice is not accomplished by humans. It´s accomplished by the Universe itself... a system of energy that goes out and comes back to sender impersonally and inexorably. It make take many millennia but come back it will. . An old old saying puts it succinctly in many cultures, the bible and in books far older than the bible.: What you do does eventually come back to you. As you sow so shall you reap. Mystery Princess: It´s not an education issue. If you know anything about history it´s about women´s thousands of years without legal rights. Do you know anything about women´s history before the beginning of the 20th century? Women had NO legal rights until 1918 when the British and US Suffragettes fought, were ridiculed, arrested, imprisoned, and force fed when they went on hunger strikes to protest being imprisoned for fighting to have human rights. Finally in 1918 they were successful in achieving the right to vote and attend good universities...for the first time in female history!!! The only 2 countries that gave women rights in the early1900´s were, I recently learned, New Zealand and Finland. In ancient Egypt, women had some rights as well. But unitl 1918 women were only considered possessions of their fathers, brothers, uncles and husbands and could do nothing without a man´ s permission. They could be thrown into the street, put into a convent or worse if they refused to obey.1918!!! Not even 100 years ago. And now, in Spain, men are trying to make abortion illegal again! They won´t give up trying to control women´s lives. There are good, loving, understanding men, but worldwide, they are tragically, not the majority.Moslem men kill their own daughters and sisters if they dont marry the men their families intend them to. The whole world was based on that mentality before 1918, not as homicidal mentality,, but still a world where all women were man-controlled puppets.Learn your history! Sigh!!!! Georgia Peach! You have a name as innocent as your theory. One woman in 4 is raped every minute of the day everywhere in the world. A similar percentage of girls are raped by their own fathers, primarily and rthen by uncles or other family memebers or a known neighbor. Interpol spends much of its resources tracking down pedophile and pederast rings which destory millions of children worldwide. Men rape. Period. Even apparentlty good ones. The human race began by rape. There were no flowers and candle-lit dinners in the cave man´s world. Testosterone is the rape hormone. And since men are stronger and bigger, in some part of their minds, when they want it, they take it as their right and always have. It´s like business. In most business mentalities, playing money games with other people´s money, promising one thing and delivering another, cheating and stealing are considered fair tactics of the game for riches and success. If you rhink any businss is really successful outside of these rules...I have a bridge in Brooklyn I´d like to sell you. Morality and the rules of the world, like water and oil, don´r really mix. Sorry, I´m a romantic too. But I woke up to the truth. The way to be safe in the world is to watch where you are and who you are with. You are all so innocent it´s almost endearing. If someone holds you up at gunpoint and demands your wallet, watch or whatever vluables you have on you, you´d better be prepared to hand them over. A gun talks. It´s a form of rape. The robber is speaking with greater strength than you. Some have been silly enough to argue or try to fight back. Many of those people are dead. Rape by a bigger, muscular man is no different. Women, unless they´re tai chi experts who can hope to gain a few moment´s surprise by catching the man off guard with a sharp martial arts kick to the gonads, and then run off, haven´t a hope in hell. Look up the statistics. Maybe that will convince you.. NO conditioning is going to stop men from raping when they want sex. It never has and never will, except in cases of spritually very evolved men One of the greatest saints, Augustine, ! prayed a famous prayer: "Oh god, make me virtuous...only just not yet"!!. A very funny line, but he wasn´t joking.
