Do we fight against these biological conditions to be what is morally right? Is this because we are highly intelligent beings?
That argument is really perplexing, and kind of hurtful. I think most people (including myself) have been taught that rape was a learned behavior influenced by societal factors and could be prevented.

This... just makes me lose a little faith in humanity.
