Is Rape Natural? Part 2, 2014 Edition

[Whateverist]

Now, before everyone goes off and starts shitting on me, we're talking about nature here, with the understanding that nature is a hostile, shitty, dog-eat-dog context, not a field full of daisies with frolicking unicorns. I'm not saying that it's okay for men to rape women, or that it's wrong for a women to be psychologically broken afterward-- just that it's clearly natural.

Natural in the sense that murder, slavery and beatings are natural I suppose. The imposition of the will of the strong over the will of the weak falls well within the realm of the natural. At its heart, that is what is most repulsive about being raped. Your own will is overwhelmed by that of another who then proceeds to use your body as an object of that others gratification. Just like a hyena beginning to feed on its victim while it still stands, sexual victimization is certainly natural.

Up to that point I agree with you, but aren't you really saying that the victim is way over reacting? Because if you are, then you are saying more than that it is natural. You're saying that makes it -if not okay- then at least not so bad. It seems you want to raise empathy for the rapist and diminish it for the victim. Here I disagree.
