It is perverse to regard certain relatively superficial self-perception to be dearer than the very life that made it possible.

Hmm. I think there's a certain existential nobility to the notion--something like, "Better to die free than to live a slave". Self-preservation at any cost is not so universal a maxim that departure from such is necessarily "perverse".

There is no nobility in overtrumpeted irrationality, only childish pretenses shielding fundamental irresponsibility.

I would be very sorry to see any woman regarding herself as or more damaged by rape than by death.
