But as was previously stated, it's not an objective natural law, it's entirely encompassed within the interactions of sentient beings.

And if the concept of consent does not exist? Is rape still wrong? If all of society accepted that it was good to rape children under 6... is it then in reality a "good" thing or is it "wrong" despite opinion? ...is it universally true that the rape of a child is wrong?
If the concept of consent does not exist than neither does the existence of rape as an action.

It's ALWAYS wrong from my perspective. As to whether that makes it universally true is a different matter entirely.
