Sometimes it feels surreal that there's so little rape. Men are stronger and hornier and I am so grateful we live in a society where they just constantly go around not raping. Like *half* of all non-human sex is rape, but we managed to get our rape down to a tiny percentage.

I don't think men experience this as an active struggle to not rape. I think culture installed this super well. I'm also not sure how old it is? Like, "females have protective males to discourage rape" seems like maybe a real old thing.

"Protective males to discourage rape" is a silly way to put it, but it's not that old at all, not where I live.

Again, when we're talking about sexual assault, we're talking about violence. In a world full of violent animals, primates (like humans) are surprisingly non-violent. Obviously there's violence in our history, but it's greatly outweighed by our aversion to it.
