"“I mean, let’s be honest, man: The history of civilization, there’s a huge arterial component of it that’s rape. All of us who are here — we are all the product of rape. I mean armies and power throughout history [have committed rape]."
True that armies have committed rape throughout history. I have read that DNA analysis of England shows a very large part of the modern population has a small number of male ancestors. (I am guessing Vikings, Angles, Saxons, Danes, and Normans. Even then, many might be the results of consensual relationships between wealthy landowners and hungry peasant women.) But most children are not the products of rape. Certainly not in the last few centuries. Perhaps this guy had confused his parents' relationship with the rest of us.
