Does a male have a higher sex drive? Are they more likely to rape?

If yes, then women have, in the aggregate, more control over their sexual behaviour than men. And thus men have less control. This does not necesarily imply anything about what the punishment for rape or assault should be.

Note: I am eliding a lot of what the definition of a person is (e.g. everything contained in their skin? Just concious processes? Some form of "natural" baseline that excludes tumors/drugs/etc?) in the above so YMMV.

I recommend using "I agree with the denotation but disagree with connotation/affect" for situations like replying to the grandparent post.



>Does a male have a higher sex drive?

Yes. Sex drive has a lot to do with T levels. Woman's sex drive is at her highest when her T is highest (ovulating).

>More likely to rape

Yes. Rape requires physicality. Most women are incapable of raping a man, without drugs or a gun.

All this to say, I'm not sure what the point of the subthread is.
