[soc.feminism] rape and nature

As several people have noted, sociobiological explanations of rape leave 
much to be desired.  You can find an example of just about ANY kind of 
behavior in the animal kingdom.  For example, female insects killing the
male after they mate.  If someone did that it certainly wouldn't be looked
on as the result of a biological drive just because an animal does it- 
same thing with a mother killing her children, like some primates do.
