Natural Hisotry of Rape?
Louise Armstrong
цитата:
We may male and female -- be highly evolved enough to master Windows 2000 and deal confidently with the most complex travel connections. But when it comes to inter-gender relations, we are as one with fish, amphibians, vertebrates and invertebrates the male human like the male pronghorn antelope compelled (willy-nilly) to spread his seed far and wide, with no thought overriding or impeding the primordial drive he shares with the fiddler crab, the mallard, the plainfin midshipman fish, and the common housefly for reproductive success, and the certainty of paternity.
Rape on the Brain
Susan Browmiller
цитата:
Thornhill is an evolutionary biologist who studies the mating habits of scorpionflies. He has not conducted any original research on human rapists and victims. He has merely compiled a record of observed forced copulations in some lower species (his scorpionflies; waterstriders; some orangutans and ducks) and run an old, flawed study of human rape victims conducted in 1974 through his computer several times -- misreading the evidence -- to come up with "results" that he claims prove his point.
