Wonder what you thought was going to happen with this thread. It's a decent, or important, or whatever language won't offend whoever is going to reply to me, question, but this is hubski. From a consequentialist point of view, though both rape and forcefeeding are physical/mental violations, one can have longterm repercussions in a manner that is central to how our society has evolved. That's the key. Remember that almost everything happens for a reason, and how we treat sex is one of those things. How we treat sex is part of what dictates how we treat rape. I skimmed the rest of this but it's worth noting that people get executed for rape in the Middle East all the time, men for raping and women for being victims and members of a religion of peace.
