Rape is not wrong. You are.

Hello, Actions_Speak. Thank you for participating in this argument. I hope you enjoy this as much as a rapist enjoys his rape. You started with a complete falsehood by claiming that rape is not sex. Rape is one of the many forms of sexual acts(in short, sex) that humans have perform universally and timelessly. The presence of sexual acts is what distinguishes rape from other sorts of acts, such as beating up, shooting or stabbing someone. Even the legal definition of rape that you provided clearly states "... sexual intercourse or any other sexual penetration..." as a core component of rape. Now does the legal definition of physical assaults or murder contain the said sexual acts in its definition? No. For your reference, here are the definitions of murder[1] and assault[2]. So this is one crucial fallacy and contradiction in your argument. You distinguished rape from BDSM based on the condition of the presence of consent. However, the very notion that some sexual act requires a consent stems from the socially constructed idea that has been brainwashed into the mass public. A consent is never a what's called a "necessary condition" for the act of sex to occur. The fact is that any sexual act can happen without any sort of consent, as a huge number of raping males and raped females are the concrete evidence to prove the truth that no one needs consent to have sex with somebody else. To pretend to need a consent for sex is the blatant demonstration of being completely influenced by the social construction that I argue against. You equate the rape with torture, and thus show how you have been indoctrinated by the social construction that I stand against. Because society has brainwashed its members into the delusion that rape is bad, people are pre-installed with such prejudice and bias in regard to rape. Torturers, who look for many methods to torments the subjects of torture, deliberately use such prejudice and bias that the tortured hold about rape in order to maximise the effect of torture. If the subjects did not hold the mindless dogma about rape, then rape as torture would be completely futile as the subjects would not be influence by rape-as-torture methods, leading to torturers discarding the practice. What you are saying actually lends further support to my position that we need to teach people to view rape in a positive and good way, so that it would not be used in cases of torture. Crimes require some sort of significant physical, aka. material, concrete, real, damage or loss that results in some significant material/physical/concrete difference in a matter that can be evaluated. Unlike consent, those types of loss is a necessary condition for some act to be recognized and established as a crime. The loss of hymen is not and cannot be considered any significant loss, due to the fact that there is no change in the female physiology resulting from it being broken. Bruises are negligible, due to the fact that those can occur even in any sort of hard, rough sexual acts, and so can the loss of blood. In fact, to minimize bruises and bleeding is to try not to resist or fight back, but accept and embrace rape as it comes. The act of attempting to fight rapists has its grounds on the social indoctrination that rape is bad, negative, and harmful, which causes females to fruitlessly fight back even using force. In the process, the majority of bruises and bleeding related to rape happens - the raping male who tries to hold the female down and the raped female that tries to get away generates a lot of physical, violent, passionate physical activities, leading to some sort of bodily injuries. But, if females were not brainwashed with the socially constructed delusion, there would be significantly fewer females attempting such physical, pointless resistance, which in turn would save those females from receiving those bruises and bleeding. It is for the females' good. Then the male and the female can engage and relish in the sex that can produce orgasm in both parties, which cannot and should not ever be underestimated or ignored in rape for its real chemical presence in the body generates a tremendous physical effect. This way, rape serves as an important, significant, meaningful bodily practice both of which can find great pleasure, intimacy, and most importantly, a deep human interconnection. Rape in a war is not even a significant issue. Some sort of sex, however lousy or bad you may find it, is never even close to the tragedy of a war in which people actually kill the lives of other and lose the ones of the loved ones or even themselves. To even equate the two, sex and death, would fundamentally mean incredible insult to those who died and those who have their loved ones dead in a war. It is also insulting to raped females, since it means evaluating raped females as dead ones. You brought a lot of stories from a lot of sources. However, all of them are grounded in the social construction that has brainwashed people into holding the unfounded fallacy that "rape is bad/negative/harmful", the very notion that I am attacking. Society has constructed such basis, and inculcated it into the minds of the mass public, and my position is that the very idea has no evidence, no basis, and no use at all. I have provided with concrete examples an argument as to why we must get rid of the false dogma that "rape is bad" society has instilled in people for the better of everyone; meanwhile, you have not provided any argument as to why we must continue to hold onto the dogma even if it only hurts people further. I will await your response. [1]https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com... [2]https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com...
