Why not? It depends on giving and taking. If you give effort, surplus is created and chaos is moved to unity. If you take reward, something is used in the process. In this case, taking from the individual leaves a debt, no different than if you take my car and I have no insurance. I must then go work (suffer) to buy another. In the case of what is taken in rape, no amount of suffering will heal the wound. What is given to the person in this case?
Survival is not a problem in our society is it? The reason doing unto others is a universal law found in nearly all religions is because it abides by natural law. All proverbs in the Bible are based on natural law and the mathematics of returns. What is taken must be returned. What is given must be earned. What is received can only be given by reception. Taking is the mark of a thief, even if something is given from the theft. In all cases, someone else suffers the debt of the thief. This is why objectivism is detrimental to society. Altruism, on the other hand, creates surplus. If our banking system was governed by the people and free from interest, who benefits? The people. Today, those who rape the system benefit, but ultimately cause us all to pay the price by having to suffer inflation, devaluation and lost opportunity for all participants.
It's Nash Equilibrium. Law is not a respecter of persons. It knows every detail and nothing can be hidden that will not eventually come to light. Reaping and sowing. Sowing seed in another field is foolish at best.

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
