You know, A theist...you could always empathize for both parties involved. I understand that in doing so you might wind up short on your righteous indignation quota.....but it's an option.
Even self control is an "urge" - I suspect that neither you or I have to employ that "urge" to contain the rapist within. We would both contend that there is no "rapist within" as-such..we don't need to control anything to avoid raping some hapless someone, eh? Apparently some folks don't have it quite as easy as we have it. Putting yourself in that persons shoes does not denigrate their victims, and doing so may actually help you to prevent further victimization. Or we could just go with the "black is black, white is white" thing that's worked sooooo well stopping all of that rape all of these years.
