What might be considered subjective is whether the answers are considered identical, given that the are equivalent in value, but different in notation.
Nice.

Is rape only wrong as a matter of your opinion, or is there something about rape which would be true regardless of your opinion (or anyone's opinion, or anyone's agreement) that makes rape wrong?It's a matter of opinion, commonly shared in our modern Western culture due to societal norms.
There are certainly some who think that rape, at least in some forms, is fair play. "Sometimes you just gotta take the pussy" is something I've heard frequently enough. Their problem is that fewer and fewer people are (at least I think) around who will agree with them-- they are increasingly likely to be called out and possibly jailed.
