You mention that Freudian analysis is out of favor. This is true but Jacques Lacan re-interpreted him by replacing Freudian ideas about the penis with Lacan's formulation of the "Phallus". Basically it's not all about sex, it's about power, even sex is about power and our relationship to it.
For a dose of subtle Polish philosophy, I would recommend to you a series of films called " The three color trilogy". I think this film resonates with mine and your views.
It's only logical to assume if a rape gene existed, and rape did have an evolutionary advantage, the majority of us, and most of the other sentients on earth, would be rapists.
When I say 'natural behavior' I'm referring to a behavior that could be observed in other species and is not a product of high-level logic and planning.
you might be interested in sue johnsons and john bowlby's work. both brits btw! John bowlby developed attachment theory which can explain the core of human behavior, relations, etc. (it does not apply to sociopaths however because of their true lack of total empathy.) John bowlby is also the reason why modern hospitals finally allow visitings hours for children and parents.
A lot of that can be rested on and explained through evolutionary theories, but many will twist the prestige and answers science can give us to justify entitled, narcisstic behaviors that really have nothing to do with nature and nurture, but their own perversions.
It is true, what we do in our enviroment and what we learn is largely enviromental and the brain is plastic, and human beings are adaptable. Where I see some relevance to evolutionary biology (not to be confused with evolutionary psychology) is a dynamism that happens (hormonally/emotionally/sexually) that happens to people engaging in romantic relationships.
ardipithicus is the oldest known link/bridge to humans becoming bi-pedal. Lucy came about much much later in evolution and was already walking a lot better than ardi was. There are some good shows, covers and interviews, including "discovering ardi" either from discovery or national geographic. definately check it out I think you might find it interesting.
@TheOuroborosWyrm lol, good one. Well, neurobiologically his brain is probably finished but. he may have an emotional developmental gap (narcissistic tendencies)
I've only watched one of Gary's vids on this whole rape issue ... they bore me rigid TBH (no pun intended).
It's just kinda reassuring to know that the he's basically saying that genetics don't completely rule our lives.
(remember dat)

i don't think fairyblast is interested in proper intellectual responses.
he's just trying to be obnoxiously inflammatory; it seems

@detriplea -- Krzysztof Kieślowski - Trzy Kolory - Niebieski (Trois Couleurs - Bleu) (1993)
Bleu is my favorite. Slavoj ZIzek mentions Bleu in his Perverts Guide to the Cinema, also very good.

Logic wins again.

I admire Freud, but I think rape is not an external issue. It's a natural behavior.
Interesting video.

can you think of one thing that is not natural?

vls174 2 years ago
other species also rape...
"high-level logic" and planning are also natural. is there nothing that is not natural about humans?
gratex 2 years ago
I'm referring to this definition of 'natural':
''Being in a state regarded as primitive, uncivilized, or unregenerate.''
''A primitive state of existence, untouched and uninfluenced by civilization or artificiality''

it depends on context... in modern human context rape is extreme behaviour... use you brain... please...

To me his contribution to pscyh is far more valuable and useful then frueds, and a lot of moderns psych researchers are expanding on his work.
