Men of DU: What are YOU going to do for women, once we drop to third class citizens?

191. Here's a nasty response I bet you haven't seen yet. I'm going to be pointing out that

the Texas law actually rewards rapists by virtually guaranteeing their genes will be successfully passed on. This law makes rape a legitimately viable reproductive strategy in Texas; even though rape is a crime, the rapist still gets the only reward that counts or will last after he's dead and gone: reproduction.

Natural selection doesn't care how or by which means a trait increases the chance to reproduce- it only cares that genes are passed on. Those genes- rapists' genes- are going to be selected now, and the state will make sure their tactic is successful.

Yes, I know rape isn't about sex or reproduction. Well, that's changed- in Texas, rape can definitely be about reproduction, plain and simple, and the state will help the rapist reproduce. Thus, supporters of this law as written (lacking the exceptions for rape and incest) are joined at the hip to the state's actions here. They'd rather a rapist had a child than let his victim deny him genetic victory.

I'm going to be sure to characterize it as offensively as possible to the law's supporters, who help rapists breed. Promoting rape is not what they set out to do, but it damned well is what they effectively did and I intend to rub their individual and collective noses in that.
