Recently an American politician has enraged people after claiming that a woman couldn't get pregnant from a real rape because her reproductive system would shut down if the rape was "legitimate", in his own words.

This idea isn't actually as dumb as it sounds. Why do women conceive from rape? If rape is that damaging to a woman's reproductive success by taking away her choice, why haven't they evolved some way to prevent conception from happening from rape?

Because on a biological level sperm is sperm. Whether it's rapist sperm or long term husband sperm there is no difference.

Look, I'll explain it in simple terms. If conceiving from a rape was significantly damaging to prehistoric womens' success by taking away her reproductive choice then they would surely evolve ways to prevent it. For example, they could release chemicals into the womb that prevent implantation or kill off sperm.

Why hasn't this happened?

Don't you think a woman's body would know if it was being raped or not and respond accordingly???

You've completely misunderstood how evolution works.

There's no aspect of design in evolution. The whole system is driven by random mutation; The mutations that are favourable for survival are more likely to be passed on than those that aren't. The fact that humans have no specific adaptation to prevent impregnation by rape is essentially meaningless, it tells us only that either no such mutation has occurred or that it has not survived.

Evolution isn't about the individual or what that individual wants, it's about the survival of our genes. Evolution doesn't occur for our benefit, it's just a semi-random phenomenon. Being raped is a horrible experience on an individual level, but that doesn't mean that it impairs the ability of your progeny to survive.

Ducks have evolved a maze-like vagina that is very effective in preventing forced penetration, probably because rape is a very common behaviour amongst mallards. Humans haven't, but that's not some great cosmic truth about of our species, it's just a fluke of nature.

Doesn't look like we can do that, I'm afraid.

Rape was a viable term of ensuring genetic diversity across tribes back when we just hung about in small groups. It is detrimental to the woman and the child however for the larger group it is vital. This is why rape is a behavioral norm in humans and other social animals.

I don't know why you were banned for this although I can imagine suggesting that women have a smidgen of personal responsibility would offend many.

Not entirely true to suggest that no design at all exists, obviously the pressure of natural selection mean that only the most successful designs will exist -hence convergent evolution

i've read its common for women to orgasm during rape. I assume its the same for men too [spoiler]as the victim, you cretins[/i].

I know OP is a fucking mong, but ducks somehow have actually evolved that way. Male ducks have corkscrew penises and female ducks have labyrinth vaginae.
