So, let me ask you this. Is there something about rape that makes it bad? Is that something a thing you could demonstrate? Is it just my opinion..or your opinion..that rape is bad? If we held a different opinion or changed our opinion...would it suddenly not be bad? Would rape, itself..be changed, because our opinion of it had changed? Would that something appear or disappear based upon our opinions?
-ask yourself all of the same questions about blasphemy, btw, if you want a counterexample.
What are we talking about here?
Rape is an UNFORTUNATE part of evolution, so on that context it is neither good or bad. But humans also evolved with fight or flight, and not just with rape, but with any act of aggression the victim will have a response to it, and in that context to that individual it most certainly BAD.
Your body is your ultimate resource, so when it is overpowered you respond to that invasion. Rape would not be considered a crime if humans liked it. Robbery would not be a crime either if humans liked it. It is ultimately bad to the individual victim because it is an invasion and destruction of their own control.
