"Objective": You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Which is just as valid as the offender who subjectively wants to rape you.
If their is no objective right or wrong, then its just preferences and desires.
You not wanting to be raped is just as valid as the rapist who wants to rape you.
Objective means it is true or right regardless of what anyone thinks about it.
It *is* all preferences and desires. There is no getting away from that. Fortunately, in stable and successful cultures the vast majority of people tend to see rapists as criminals.
Objective morality is a totally useless hypothetical concept because it has no more effect on actual behaviour than does subjective morality. It's the philosophical equivalent of a Trojan horse whereby believers such as yourself attempt to smuggle your god into an argument. I don't see your alleged god zapping would-be rapists in the crotch and burning off their testicles, do you?
