Many things that we’re not tolerant of (like rape or murder) may also be an inherent natural part of human nature.

That's a different semantic definition of human nature, and, as an aside, is likely just not accurate. Close relative primates don't murder and rape other primates within their own social group. Rape is a strategy of desperation for males who can't get any and are likely outcasts from an effective group. Social cohesion is really important for survival. There may be coups to be the top dog, but intra community killing is very rare.
We don’t tolerate rape and murder between social groups either, do we?
