Re: Rapist Jeffrey Doucet Killed by Victim's Father
Thank you. Your reasoning is quite similar to mine at this stage of my considerations about the matter. I also believe there is a strong element of protection of the whole population (or even the species) in the motivation of vigillante attacks against rapists. But on the other hand, the most men have also a drive to replicate their DNA, and adulterous womanisers can objectively be a bigger threat here than rapists. Maybe it's not completely uninteresting that the humanity has had only for last cca 150 years a compelling evidence that anyone has exactly one biological father. Before the discovery of sex cells it was quite unclear whether a child has still only one biological father even if the mother had sex with more men shortly before the pregnancy. And yes, womanisers tend to be nicer than rapists, so it would be less painful for a cuckold to share a biological fatherhood with a womaniser or to care about a biological child of womaniser than to care about a child of some ugly, socially unskilled and potentially variously handicapped rapist... But things are yet even much more complicated, I'm afraid, and also every culture is a bit different... |

Re: Rapist Jeffrey Doucet Killed by Victim's Father
I have seen this on other sites. It is just incredible street justice. Normally I don't approve and in fact strongly disagree with such things but in these types of situations where the man would of gotten off lightly this is perfect justice. I even like it how the father gets an extremely light sentence. Hoorah for him. |

Re: Rapist Jeffrey Doucet Killed by Victim's Father
Sure only one sperm can fertilise a female egg. But we all know it only recently, after the discovery of cells in general (and sex cells in particular). Before the second half of the 19th century people could only believe that every person has exactly one biological father. To be honest, apart from the Christianity, I don't have a clue what people in Europe and Middle East traditionally believed in. As far as I know, e.g. the Bible gives no general answer. The Bible never mentions anyone with more than one biological father. Jesus allegedly had no biological father at all, other characters had either exactly one each, or their biological father(s) aren't mentioned at all. But in some cultures where polyandry prevails, people normally believe that all male sex partners of a woman shortly before and during her pregnancy influence the qualities of resulting offspring. My guess is, that in some monoandric cultures (e.g. the Christian and the Muslim ones) even thinking about such things might have traditionally been a taboo. So, men might have been - at least sub-consiously - anxious about the posibility that some inferior individual would biologically either fully-father or co-father the biological offspring of their wives. ---------------------------------------------------------- By the way, given the current progress in birth control and sexual health, in many parts of the world the risk of unwanted pregnancy or of contracting some STD after the rape is much smaller than in the past. In the light of those developments, the rape might be - naturalistically -seen similarly like any other (non-sexual) violent interference with human body. The taboo character of rape, in my view, is an anachronism from previous millenia of human history. (By that I don't mean that I approve the crime of rape - by no means. But in terms of somatic damage the rape needn't be, and often very probably isn't, more serious than - say - causing some facial or limb injury. If some women are seriously mentally disturbed after the rape, it may be often because they have been traditionally brought up to be disturbed in such an ocassion.) |
