I share your opinion, I do not condone rape, but I see no much difference either to other violent crimes, for example armed robbery - beating somebody up for a wallet with a few dollars.jtest28 wrote: I don't condone rape, I just simply don't care either way.
Not much different than regular assault. Like regular assault, it should be illegal...
The problem is more about that nobody knows what rape means anyway.
We all know, what is 'armed robbery' or 'murder' 'kidnapping' etc. but what is 'rape'?
Only a few rape cases are indeed what I expect the word 'rape' is standing for - a brutal crime threatening the victim for sexual favors.
Most 'modern rapes' are very different - there is no violence at all - he and she are drunk, moving on to a private room and next day she regrets and does not even know if she had sex or not and with whom, and this is rape?
Nowadays you might even rape a woman by mobile phone talking BS to her, or you might rape her by not giving her money, or raping her by looking in her direction while sitting in a train etc. etc. Some women only feel being raped a few months later - because their boyfriend is sleeping with another girl etc. etc. - It's ridiculous.
I think, the definition of 'rape' 'consent' etc. has to be reconsidered in Western laws. Now every man in general who is in private contact with a female can be accused to be a rapist if the woman really wants to harm him, even without any wrongdoing by his side.
Women should not be protected like children. They should be kept responsible for their decisions.
If a woman decides out of herself to dress up like slut and is living with thugs for an exciting life-style and something is going wrong... well, true, they should not do that, but openly said, I do not feel sorry for her.
