Most of these are mental health issues.

  Basically, is there any "rational" reason to be a rapist AT ALL? Especially in today's world which is full of easy to get sex. I think every rapist is mentally not OK.

      >Sure, but is it an illness which can be alleviated? That's exactly my point. There isn't. So we criminalise it instead. It's inhumane and will be most certainly seen by our grandchildren in a way similar as we see chattel slavery today, but it's just simply that we have no other way today.

        How do you imagine our grandchildren will solve it?

        By doing a lot more research into psychiatry and finding treatments for mental health issues that actually works.

        It seems that you could say that about any socially undesirable behavior.

        I agree, there is a problem with this. We've been there before: being gay was considered a sickness and/or a crime in most countries till recently, for example. But, medical science can adapt to changing social norms, it did before, and was hardly ever a blocker here - i can't recall if there was ever a point where medical science or healthcare industry insisted on labelling something a sickness when society or state claimed it wasn't.
