Genuine question here, if evolution is solely about passing ones genes on to the next generations why do male animals not just rape female ones since they are stronger? Why do they accept female rejection and move on when their genes are at stake?

they do

females of those species have developed counters to rape.

Because they evolved to kill other males who choose to rape their mates.

So it doesnt happen that often.

Also, see duck sex.

not very often though, i'm asking why is it not widespread

how would they know if their mate had been raped unless they catch them in the action

Coupling.

And that, dear friends, is how we evolved to "love" each other; rape prevention tactic.

Sometimes they do.
>since they are stronger?
Males aren't always the stronger of sexes in the animal kingdom.

They do, in some sense. In most of the animal kingdom the females are always willing so sex happens when the male wants it. There are just males competing with each other who will do the raping.

Evolution is not about passing on one's genes. And animals have no idea about genes whatsoever in the first place.

>> No.7067886

Because what's the point of fertilizing a female if you scratched/clawed/pecked her to near death in the process? Especially if every other male has this same bright idea.

Pretty sure this one is the wrong way round at that the female workers are created through parthenogenesis where as the males are the ones who require sperm to be created. Pretty sure when a queen births a new queen (also female) that this is through sexual reproduction.

Evolution is all about genes and the passing of them on. Mostly things don't realise it though; case in point, bacteria and trees - neither having a CNS cannot realise anything at all and yet are all over the fucking place.

There are plenty of species where this happens, and the females have adapted by being able to "pick" who's rape sauce gets used.
