I can easily think of properties of rape that make me feel bad about it, and to consider it foreign to my world view. I cannot think of any objective property at all that makes rape (or murder or a button that brings the entire Universe to and end or anything else) wrong without the assessment of a feeling agent.
Quote:You'll find that such a culture does not consider what happens in the marital bed (or in the bed of property) rape.That's right. "Rape" already carries with it negative connotations, which they would not accept. I think you can reasonably infer that I mean "what we call rape, and consider morally wrong, would not be considered wrong in another social context." It's very possible that the girl herself, while she might not like the forced sex at all, and might in fact very much dislike it, may not conceive of it as morally wrong.
