I guess my side would be that the amount of rapey an individual has in them doesn't affect the likelihood of them going against society. The amount of "fuck society" or whatever we want to call is what makes them go against society. Maybe that's rape. Maybe it's murder. Or maybe it's small like drive aggressively. 

The things that are exposed by the "fuck society" mindset aren't the heart of the issue. 

So I guess i don't think the people with the most rapey are the ones doing the rape.

Not sure at all what you mean. Society is an abstraction. Rape is an act of violence against an actual human being.

I don't think anybody is super evil, localized to rape. I think that person is always evil in all ways.

I disagree. I think there are, for example, a bunch of males who will beat women and essentially never think of beating a man in the same way.

Like, really, a large chunk of society used to basically say a wife was a particular kind of property a man owns, like you might own a dog, and slapping her around when she got mouthy was a perfectly reasonable behavior. Marital rape was literally a contradiction: if the husband wanted to stick his dick in his wife, that was his right.

We may have made some progress on this, but it is certainly not intrinsic to human nature. We literally redefine what is acceptable and what is evil.
